XRAY X8 – 1/8 Luxury Electric On-Road Pan Car 340500

The X8 is designed with the mindset of ease-of-use and simplified setup. But most importantly, being easy to drive. All of these requirements were fulfilled thanks to its concept, where all chassis components work in perfect symphony on the chassis.

The ultimate expression of racing passion. The art of performance. X8.

Chassis.

The X8 features a unique sandwich chassis design with a battery tray that is integrated from the top for longitudinal reinforcement of the lower chassis plate. The battery tray and lower chassis work together in a uniform flex system.

Battery Tray.

The unique battery tray system of the X8 works together with the lower chassis plate in a uniform flex system.

Chassis Flex.

The uniform flex system of the chassis allows to adjust different flex characteristics to adjust the car to all different track conditions. By adding or removing the screws on the front chassis brace the flex can be adjusted from very soft up to very stiff.

Battery Mounting.

Wicket bracket keeps the batteries apart with a gap in between for independent battery flex in the battery tray as well to improve cooling of the batteries.

Bulkheads.

The aluminum bulkheads are designed to join the lower chassis plate and battery tray together in a durable, efficient, and lightweight design. The bulkheads provide optimal stiffness, flex and handling characteristics, even when using harder foam tires.

Front End.

The graphite plate of the front suspension connects to the aluminum bulkheads with the servo and steering directly attached to it. The front assembly is attached to the chassis through an aluminum pivot ball holder for rigid and precise operation.

Front Pod.

Fully independent front pod moves on the pivot balls to ensure maximum performance from the front suspension. There are two different pod stiffness adjustment alternatives that can be used for easy adjustment to fit individual preferences.

Rear End.

The entire rear end is mounted on the lower chassis independent of the radio tray. The rear section features a graphite rear bumper that protects the car from back markers and serves as a convenient location to hold the car.

Belt & Belt Tensioner.

To increase the reliability and strength, the 4WD system features a wide 6mm low friction belt. The reinforced high-efficiency low-friction drive belt ensure that power is properly and efficiently transferred to all drivetrain parts.
The multiple flanged bearing belt tensioner system allows for a smooth and reliable drivetrain. The superior belt tensioning system requires less tension, allowing more chassis flex for improved handling without fear of belt skip issues.

Caster & Axle Height.

Adjusting the front caster is a very simple process, made by loosening four (4) screws and moving the upper graphite plate to one of three adjustment positions. The three caster settings are 10°, 13.5° and 17°.
