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.

Both Carpet and Dirt versions come with unique 2-pad slipper assemblies that share the same top shaft, slipper pads and spring nut.
The XB2C includes the ventilated slipper plates to provide additional cooling to dissipate the excess heat created on carpet.
The XB2D includes solid slipper plates with larger engagement area for smoother slippage to help generate more traction.
Carpet tracks are typically very high traction, and the minimal wheel spin places higher stress on the slipper components and benefits from the additional cooling from the ventilated slipper plates to maintain consistent performance throughout a run.
Dirt and clay tracks are usually lower traction with more wheel spin compared to carpet racing, and do not generate the same heat in the slipper clutch. The solid slipper plates with larger engagement area for smoother slippage help to generate more traction.
The slipper pads are made from ultra-efficient SLS material with very-high slip efficiency, allowing very precise slip adjustment.
All slipper plates are machined from premium Swiss 7075 T6 and additionally hardened before a final black surface treatment. The plates have a machined relief which decreases the friction surface to assist with clutch slip adjustment. With this plate design, pressure is focused on the circumference of the clutch pads for increased efficiency.

The special design of the internal components using different angled segments allows the diff gears to engage on-power to increase the forward traction, making it faster and easier to drive.
While the XRAY Active Differential is a performance option for serious racers who want to gain an edge on superior speed and handling, it is also of great benefit to drivers of all levels that want a more predictable and easy-to-drive car in all racing conditions.
To simplify the spare parts compatibility, the required drive shafts length is unified between the Gear Diff and Ball Diff. Thanks to the new gear diff design, the 77mm long drive shafts now fit both differentials.
Manufactured from world-renowned HUDY Spring Steel™ the drive shafts feature 2.5mm drive pins for maximum drivetrain efficiency. The drive shafts are some of the thinnest yet most durable drive shafts used in electric off-road cars. Treated with a proprietary hardening process, the drive shafts provide unbeatable lifespan and reliability.

To unify the wheel hubs in the Carpet & Dirt Edition, both include the same wheel hubs with 0mm offset in front and +2.25mm offset in rear.
Ultra-lightweight 12mm wheel hex drive hubs are CNC-machined from Swiss 7075 T6 black-coated aluminum. These ultra-true hex hubs have a clamping design which ensures ultra- solid mounting of the wheel on the hub.
The rear alu hex hubs are specially machined to reduce rotating weight while guaranteeing wobble-free wheel mounting.
To adjust track-width, optional offset wheel hex drive hubs are available.

Gear box features super easy access to the differential. Both gear boxes for Dirt and Carpet edition have the super easy diff access by removing only 6 screws.
Each gear box incorporates all the finest details and craftsmanship. All parts fit together perfectly, and the super-easy access to the rear differential will be appreciated by every racer. The durable gear box houses the differential with all the transmission components and serves as the mounting point for the rear roll center holder, motor plate, and rear shock tower.
The gear box features differential height adjustment. There are 6 height adjustment positions available using the included eccentric bushings. The ideal position will vary depending on the track conditions, ride height and the size of the tires used.
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.
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
● 38T (Carpet & Dirt 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.
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.
