X-Ray XB808 Competion Rallycross Buggy
Ref: XR350003
The XRAY 808. The ultimate vehicle concept molded and shaped into an extraordinary engineering masterpiece by the artisans at XRAY. Superior as ever yet all new. The 808 throws down a challenge for you to drive it race it win with it. Answer the call take the challenge. Experience a new form of fascination, undreamed-of driving enjoyment performance and dynamic ability you can count on. Experience the all-new XRAY 808.
To bring the XB8 platform to the highest performance level possible, it was time for XRAY R&D to rethink and rework the entire off-road platform concept. To realize the new concept and embrace the new spirit, the XRAY R&D team sought to create a car that would embody the key mission strategies. With this no compromise vision and strategy in mind, an all-new platform was conceived; to call the XRAY 808 the next evolution of the XB8 would be a massive understatement.
Chassis
The all-new chassis was completely redesigned following the all-new weight distribution and centerline placement of internal parts for improved side-to-side weight balance. To obtain better stability, the chassis was elongated and along with the new suspension concept the front of the chassis is angled 10°.
The chassis is CNC-machined from high-quality Swiss 3mm 7075 T6 hard-anodized aluminum, and is strategically machined in low-stress areas to make it as light as possible without affecting strength or rigidity. The chassis is hard anodized at XRAYs own in-house fully robotic hardcoating line, ensuring a perfect hardcoated surface.
Non-essential material below the engine, fuel tank, and diffs was removed to allow for the lightest weight and lowest possible center of gravity.
The downstop setscrew area was greatly reinforced. All screw holes on the bottom of the chassis are countersunk, allowing for a very smooth chassis underside with no protruding screw heads.
Strong composite side guards help protect the internal components.
All-New Suspension
The most significant handling improvement was achieved by an all-new suspension components and geometry. The suspension concept was carried over from 1/10 electric off-road cars redesigned and adapted for 1/8 off-road, incorporating XRAYs innovative ideas, and reducing the size of the components used. The suspension geometry was fine tuned to give the car super-easy handling in all racing conditions.

Suspension Arms
Suspension arms are one of the most important parts of any RC model car, as they directly influence the handling and racing characteristics of the car. The 808 suspension arms are all-new and the final design is the result of long-term tests of different designs and layouts. Length, thickness, flexibility, geometry of suspension points and materials used these are all the concepts and details that had to be thoroughly reviewed to create the optimum suspension arms.
Based on excessive knowledge gained from the previous XB8 cars, several different suspension arm designs were tested in both virtual reality and in-car to find the final best design. The exclusive composite mixture used for suspension arms is a perfect balance between reliability and performance. The suspension arm itself is rigid enough to provide a responsive feel, yet soft enough to survive extra-long main events.
