The all-new XB2 platform demonstrated its high-performance potential with its debut at the highly contested Florida Carpet Championship, where it took 2x TQ, Win and multiple podium finishes against the stiff competition from the world’s best drivers.
XRAY XB2 has been successful since its earliest versions released several years ago. From local clubs to international competitions, the XB2 has achieved success at all levels of racing including winning the ROAR Nationals.
Designed, developed, and fully manufactured in-house at the XRAY factory in Slovakia, Europe, using the most high-tech German and Swiss machines and premium European materials, crafted with XRAY's legendary attention to detail by our artistic production specialists. The XB2 is truly a masterpiece.
The XB2 platform works at the highest competition level in any track conditions, whether it be super-low-traction dusty tracks, medium-traction, or super-high-traction carpet or astro turf; there is an XB2 for you that will handle flawlessly in any of these conditions.
There are two different XB2 kits to choose from – Carpet Edition and Dirt Edition, both built on the same platform with full compatibility with interchangeable parts.
The Carpet Edition is designed for medium to very-high traction conditions, while the Dirt Edition is designed for very-low to medium traction conditions.
The Uni-Platform™ allows either version of the XB2 to be tuned or converted to suit any track conditions with only a few additional parts.
Multi-Conditions Concept.
Each new XB2 kit includes the parts necessary to build and adjust the car for a wider range of track conditions compared to previous models. The Carpet & Dirt Editions are each equipped for their unique surface requirements; both including a versatile set of components to adapt the new XB2 to a wider variety of conditions right out of the box.
The front assembly receives significant improvements for 2024, featuring an all-new bridge style front upper deck, new steering system and servo horns, new shock tower with the shocks positioned behind the tower, new side braces and an improved play-eliminating anti-roll bar mounting system.
All-new XB2 one-piece chassis provides more consistent performance in all track conditions. The one-piece design eliminates use of the previous lower chassis brace, and new geometry from the integrated chassis kick-up reduces dive under braking and generates more corner speed.
Chassis flex was optimized to work from low traction to high traction conditions. The chassis is now slightly wider to fit the latest batteries and features milled areas and mounting holes for the optional balancing weights and cooling fan holder.
CNC-machined from high-quality 2.5mm Swiss 7075 T6 aluminum, the lightweight chassis retains the necessary strength and rigidity, and is titanium color coated at XRAY’s own in-house fully robotic coating line.

The side braces were redesigned to support the one-piece chassis design and connect with the new front end. The elevated shape at the front of the new braces connects directly to the new bridge upper deck with less hardware. The flex of the side braces was optimized to improve front stability & more rear traction. The braces feature additional mounting holes for the battery holders to expand the range of battery position choices.
The side braces are available in two different hardness alternatives. Both Dirt and Carpet edition comes with medium stiffness and optional hard braces are suggested for extra high traction conditions.
The tough composite side braces also work great for using double-sided Velcro™ tape to mount the body to the chassis and seal against dirt.

The design of the car also allows removal of the motor mount brace to increase flex and to move the battery pack further to the rear to position more weight over the rear axles for improved rear traction.
The motor mount brace is universal for both Dirt and Carpet edition.
To allow for more precise weight balance adjustment, the servo position is adjustable either more rearwards or frontwards; there are 3 positions to choose from.
When the servo is moved rearwards, there is more weight on the rear and less weight on the front. This results in less diving into a corner, while increasing rear traction. Recommended for low- and medium-traction conditions.
When the servo is moved more frontwards, there is more weight on the front and less weight at the rear. This increases the diving effect but reduces rear traction. Recommended for high- and very-high traction conditions.
Correct suspension geometry is one of the most important features of any RC model car, while at the same time being one of the most difficult & challenging features for a designer.
Suspension is always a mixture of:
● design and shape of individual suspension parts
● flex and hardness
● materials used
● mounting system
● geometry and position of mounting points of connecting parts
From the suspension arms, through the suspension blocks, to the light yet robust steering blocks, every suspension part has been carefully designed for the 2WD 1/10 off-road racing platform to provide responsive racing characteristics in all conditions.
The XB2 is a conventional gear-driven 2WD off-road car featuring:
● Rear Ball Differential (Dirt Edition) or Gear Differential (Carpet Edition) with adjustable oil viscosity, featuring 53T gear and internal satellite gears
● 25T (Dirt Edition) or 38T (Carpet Edition) graphite composite idle gear
● 20T super-lightweight Swiss 7075 T6 hardcoated aluminum top shaft
● adjustable slipper clutch with 78T main spur gear
● rear CVD drive shafts
Precision-molded spur gears are made from XRAY's exclusive secret blend of composite material, allowing the gear to run true yet be robust enough to handle high-performance brushless motors. The spur gears are designed to have the lowest possible weight while staying strong and light. Each gear is stamped with the tooth number for easy identification.
The XB2 is equipped with an 81T spur gear which suits the majority of tracks. For additional tuning, optional 75T, 78T, and 84T spur gears are available.
For maximum reliability, all turnbuckles are manufactured from special HUDY Spring Steel™ material for turnbuckles which features a tougher core. These turnbuckles are used for front & rear upright linkages and steering system.
Outer suspension pins holding the front caster block and rear uprights feature wheelbase shims for quick & easy wheelbase and weight balance adjustment. Using included shims in rear and in front, both front and rear blocks can be moved forward or rearward to adjust weight balance depending on track condition.
By moving the arms to the front, the balance & weight of the car are transferred more to the rear; this is recommended for medium- and high-traction conditions. By moving the arms to the rear, the balance & weight of the car are transferred more to the front.
Chassis design focuses on balanced weight distribution and weight transfer. The chassis features pre-drilled holes for additional weights for optimum car balancing. Centerline holes are pre-drilled for easy balancing with the HUDY Chassis Balancing Tool #107880.
The XB2 features greased ball-bearings for front steering blocks & rear uprights to increase lifespan in dusty conditions. The remaining bearings are degreased and oiled with AeroShell® Fluid 12 for maximum smoothness and long life.
A full set of 22 high-speed ball-bearings are used throughout the drivetrain to ensure maximum efficiency.

The XB2 includes premium HUDY Graphite Grease which is a high-performance, advanced-technology semi-fluid lubricant which incorporates both extreme pressure additives and finely-dispersed graphite for load carrying. It is intended primarily for the lubrication of rotating parts and loaded gears. In addition to providing outstanding load carrying, it is formulated to have excellent adhesion and resistance to "fling-off" under extreme conditions. The grease reduces wear and increases parts life.
