XRay X8 26

The XRAY X8 26 2026 Edition (part number XR340501) refines performance with a revamped chassis concept that lowers the centre of gravity and simplifies fine-tuning. Batteries now sit directly on the chassis, while the motor and steering hardware are positioned to optimise balance and responsiveness across a wide range of track conditions.

Overview

A new independent front suspension with adjustable flex, a flexible rear suspension mounting system, and a revised drivetrain layout headline the update. A smaller spur gear and maximised rear motor placement push weight rearwards, while a removable electronic plate and directly mounted steering servo streamline setup. Stability is further enhanced by a longer wheelbase, longer drive belt and a wider rear suspension stance, with ride height adjustments available front and rear.

Key Features

• Revamped chassis with batteries mounted directly to the chassis for a super low CG.
• Updated independent front suspension using bushings and rubber O-rings to tune suspension flex.
• Rear suspension mounted with adjustable flex to refine handling balance.
• Motor positioned as far back as possible, just ahead of the rear suspension.
• New 35T hard-anodised aluminium pulley supports larger front tyres for extra traction and sharper steering on bumpy tracks.
• Versatile battery holders accommodate Long, Medium or Short batteries without moving the electronic plate.
• Steering servo mounted directly to the chassis behind the front suspension; cable routed in a central milled channel.
• HUDY hard-anodised aluminium servo saver mounted directly on the servo for precise control.
• Removable electronic plate to influence rear-end flex characteristics.
• New hard-coated one-way front axle enhances performance.
• Reinforced, lightweight, hard-coated rear solid axle for durability.
• Improved car holder and mount for easier handling and added protection for the body top.
• Smaller spur gear enables the most rearward motor position towards the drive shaft.
• Adjustable ride height via carbon spacers up front and eccentric bushings at the rear.
• Extended wheelbase with a longer drive belt for added stability.
• Wider rear suspension layout to boost on-track composure.
• Super-easy assembly with straightforward access to flex and handling adjustments.

Together, these updates make the XRAY X8 26 a highly tunable platform that rewards precise setup. From battery layout to axle choice and chassis flex, each element is designed to let you tailor responsiveness, traction and stability for your driving style and track conditions.
