Xray - X8E 26 - 1/8 ELECTRIC ON-ROAD RC CAR KIT - XR340154

The XRAY RX8E 2026 (part number XR340154) delivers a comprehensive update focused on flex characteristics, lower centre of gravity and reduced rotating mass. With widespread M4 hardware for secure assembly and serviceability, plus refinements across the drivetrain, steering and suspension, this platform is engineered for precision and reliability.

All-New Features

• Redesigned chassis with new flex characteristics and lowered centre of gravity
• M4 screws used throughout the chassis for fast, reliable assembly and maintenance
• Lightened rear solid axle and front one-way outdrives to reduce drivetrain rotational mass
• Hard-coated front aluminium one-way axle for improved durability and reliability
• CVD rear driveshafts matched to lightweight aluminium wheel axles and super lightweight rear solid axle
• Strategically lightened, heat-treated rear gear shaft to reduce rotating mass and maximise lifespan
• All-new three ball-bearing front belt tensioner increases reliability and helps prevent belt skipping
• Front left aluminium bulkhead with stronger M4 set-screw muffler mount for added security
• Aluminium second-speed shaft stand allows attachment of a carbon plate for the middle belt tensioner
• Aluminium rear lower arm holder now uses M4 screws for a more secure installation
• New carbon radio plate with a unique flex system offering two flex alternatives
• Laydown steering servo configuration on the radio plate to lower the centre of gravity
• One-piece aluminium servo holder ensures reliable servo mounting to the radio plate
• Servo saver stand uses a steel washer and centring bushing to fine-tune front flex
• Front middle shaft holder with integrated, ball-bearing belt tensioners for the front belt
• Extended rear upper arm for improved ball joint support
• One-piece carbon downstop limiters mounted directly to the front arm for precise downstop adjustment and lower unsprung weight
• Redesigned carbon shock mounts are super lightweight to reduce unsprung mass
• Reworked upper arm holder includes a guide for the ball-bearing body holder
• Rear body holder now ball-bearing equipped for near frictionless operation
• Carbon rear shock absorber holder with new shock positions to improve stability
• Front carbon upper bracket mounts to the centre stand, allowing the bumper holder to move independently and resist deformation in crashes
• Lightweight, strong carbon steering plates reduce unsprung mass and improve reliability
• Tighter aluminium anti-roll bar collar fitment in the bearings for more precise anti-roll operation
• Improved front and rear anti-roll bar ball joints for finer response
• Aluminium D-shaped clamp enables collision-free anti-roll bar movement on the front axle
• Shock absorbers use shorter lower ball joints to move shocks closer to the wheels for improved stability
• Redesigned motor mount uses M4 screws for greater stability and supports a top-mounted 40mm cooling fan
• Larger gear carrier minimises gear protrusion from the motor mount for better protection and integration
• Super lightweight aluminium pulley adapter reduces rotating mass
• Extended rear layshaft offsets the centre belt for medium-size batteries and is lightened to lower rotating mass
• Extended front layshaft offsets the centre belt to suit medium-size battery setups
• Aluminium spacer bushings included for the extended front and rear layshafts to ensure proper fitment

From its refined belt management to lighter rotating assemblies and a lower CG, the RX8E 2026 by XRAY focuses on efficiency, consistency and ease of maintenance for demanding track conditions.
