Xray presented the new GTX8 1/8th scale nitro GT. The model is based on the European Championship-winning XB8 off-road platform. Utilizing proven, high-performance components, the GTX8 is a high competition R/C car for the most demanding racers. The chassis is CNC-machined from 3mm high-quality Swiss 7075 T6 aluminum, strategically machined in low-stress areas, and then anodized to make it as light as possible without affecting strength or rigidity.
The all-new high-volume differentials were developed to improve vehicle control and consistency over long runs and enhance reliability. The differentials feature larger capacity cases, and larger internal gears with more teeth for improved differential moment. The larger oil volume and the shape of the gear teeth reduce overheating. The diff pins have a new, stronger design to improve reliability.
All-new front lower and upper arms are moulded using a harder material to improve response and to maintain bind-free suspension movement in dusty or hot conditions.
The longer rear arms help create more forward traction and allow quicker acceleration out of the corners. The rear arms are also moulded from an extra hard material for consistent and responsive performance. The updated front upper arm geometry allows for less caster to improve the steering characteristics, increase the overall steering and help reduce tire wear.
