Frontward Wing.
The XB8’s molded wing was redesigned for a more forward position to create more downforce over the rear suspension. The shape of the wing increases the stability of the car in all conditions and is legal under the latest IFMAR wing specifications.
Central CVD Shaft Universal Joint.
To increase reliability and strength, the M4 set screws on the central CVD universal joints were replaced by more robust M5 set screws to eliminate stripping the screw during installation or maintenance.
Central CVD shaft universal joints are made from world-renown HUDY Spring Steel. Strategically machined for toughness and reduced weight without compromising strength. Fits front & rear central CVD drive shafts.
Shock Towers.
New graphite rear shock tower improves traction in all track conditions. CNC-machined from extra-thick 4mm premium-grade graphite, the shock tower features multiple shock positions and multiple roll center adjustment positions.
Steering Block.
Steering blocks from a harder composite material provide a more responsive feel especially on bumpy tracks and retain free suspension movement in dusty conditions for better consistency. The steering blocks are super lightweight yet extremely strong, featuring a larger outside 8x16x5mm ball-bearings for increased reliability and lifespan.
Brakes Linkage.
New brake linkage assemblies with stiff springs and ball-shaped bushings result in a more reliable and consistent brake operation through even the longest runs.
Suspension Arms.
To improve the performance and reliability, the Pivot Ball suspension arms and optional C-hub suspension are molded from special composite mixture. The rear suspension arms are molded from extra-hard composite mixture that makes the car easier to drive. The front lower and upper arms feature a composite mixture change from soft to medium. The optional front lower C-hub suspension arm is molded from a hard composite mixture.
