The 2018 framework features many improvements. The trunk brace mounting position ended up being moved rearwards to enhance chassis flex and present increased traction. Chamfered front sides prevent dust pick-up as soon as the chassis contacts the track; the chamfered edges wont cut into the dust, but instead the dirt will slip over the chamfered sides and not get stuck at the front for the chassis. Side guards had been moved 4mm rearwards to ensure that under full throttle and complete steering lock that inflated tires won't contact along side it guards.
This brand new XB8 chassis is CNC-machined from 3mm top-notch Swiss 7075 T6 aluminum, strategically machined in low-stress areas, and anodized to make it because light as you are able to without impacting strength or rigidity. Non-essential product below the motor, gas tank, and differential was eliminated allowing the cheapest possible center of gravity and appropriate framework flex. XRAY will pay attention to the littlest details and it has a mandate to simplify servicing regarding the vehicle. This all-new framework provides cross-platform compatibility to ensure you need to use equivalent framework either in the XB8 or XB8E.
