After 3 years of extensive development and testing in all track conditions (including carpet, astro turf, and dirt) we have released one of the best-performing 2WD 1/10 off-road car. Since that day we have remain committed to our goal to improving our products by continuous development and testing to ensure that you always get the best-performing XB2 straight out of the box.

Martin Bayer
XRAY XB2 Designer

The 3 years of development of the XB2 were full of blood, sweat, and tears, and certainly the most challenging yet rewarding years of my life. During those few years, my understanding of RC cars grew and expanded to a whole new level with all-new R&D knowledge and experiences that I am sure will help XRAY further develop our off-road platforms.

Read my exclusive story about Making of the XB2 to get a small glimpse of the challenges I went through to make this project a reality.

XRAY XB2 Designer - European Champion

The milled grooves increase flex to generate more traction, and make the car more forgiving.

The invention of XRAY Multi-Flex Technology™ has resulted in some of the most significant milestones in RC model car development in the last decade. This innovation has not only resulted in awards and accolades, but has proven to be a distinct competitive advantage at tracks worldwide to help XRAY cars dominate races at local and national levels.

The XB2 incorporates Multi-Flex™ adjustment technology, which allows tuning the chassis flex for different track conditions.

Regardless if the track has low, medium, or super-high traction, you can adjust the chassis flex to suit track conditions to gain a distinctive advantage.

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 dual-arm steering system is very simple yet effective. The steering system is fully bearing-equipped with 8 high-speed ball-bearings for very precise steering. The Ackermann is easily adjusted by quickly & easily changing the steering link mounting positions on the steering plate.

Bump steer is easily adjusted for more aggression by inserting a shim between the steering block and steering linkage.

Ackermann is also easily adjusted by inserting a shim on the steering plate as well changing various graphite extension plates on the steering blocks.

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

• 36T graphite composite idler gear

• 20T super-lightweight Swiss 7075 T6 hardcoated aluminum top shaft

• adjustable slipper clutch with 84T main spur gear

• rear CVD drive shafts

Carpet Edition only

Gear differential features diff outdrives designed for use with 2.5mm pin.

The strong diff outdrives are the result of a new hardening process that increases lifespan and reliability.

The XB2 rear gear differential is standard in the Carpet Edition, offering increased on-power steering that is beneficial on nearly all types of tracks but is especially great on carpet and astro turf.

The super-smooth gear diff includes a composite case and cover with internal satellite gears that are precision-molded from special XRAY-developed graphite composite material, ensuring long lifespan and super-smooth, efficient operation.

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, 84T and 87T spur gears are available.

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 lower composite arm mount is an important part of the chassis where the lower arms mount, and the block has an integrated 26° kick-up angle. Optional aluminum and brass arm mounts are available for further weight balance adjustment.

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. 

In specific track conditions when the rear of the car must be stabilized, an optional rear anti-roll bar (#362400) can be easily installed. The anti-roll bar is mounted to the rear roll center holder and can be adjusted via the included linkages.

Anti-roll bar wires of different thicknesses are optionally available for fine-tuning; the wire thickness is laser-engraved for easy identification.

Shock pistons are made from Delrin® and are molded using ultra-high precision moulds. All-new 2-hole pistons (1.6mm and 1.7mm holes) are now included in the set.

The XB2 comes equipped with softer springs for increased traction in dirt conditions.

The XB2 springs, like all other XRAY springs, are manually measured, selected, and matched into pairs to guarantee precisely equal length and damping characteristics.

Each spring is laser-engraved with stripes to clearly indicate the firmness.

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.

Side guards are an integral part of the XB2 Multi-Flex™ system. Moulded from medium-hardness composite material, the side guards make the chassis frame flex suitable for the majority of track conditions.

The tough composite side guards feature double-sided Velcro™ tape to seal the body perfectly to the chassis and seal against dirt.

There are two different chassis braces available – medium (included) and hard (optional) – which are suitable for particular track conditions. 

The included side guards are moulded from medium-hardness composite and make the car faster in corners.

An optional hard-hardness composite moulded braces give the car increased stability on jumps.

The XB2 gear box is designed with all the finest details and craftsmanship incorporated. All parts fit perfectly together, 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 rear transmission, and allows the mounting of the rear roll center holder, motor plate, and rear shock tower.

Carpet Edition and Dirt Edition each have unique gear boxes specifically designed for different track conditions.

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.

HUDY Exclusive Silicone Oils are manufactured in Europe and each batch is laboratory tested and calibrated to ensure the highest possible consistency and quality from batch to batch. Based on the industry-standard cSt rating, the new line of oils will be easy to identify, adjust, and feel.
