For the ultimate in handling prowess, the X8 ’26 features a ground-breaking chassis layout. The direct battery mounting and centralised weight distribution work in harmony to provide a supremely balanced and responsive racing machine.

The X8 ’26's motor is positioned right at the back, just ahead of the rear suspension, maximising rear-wheel traction for blistering acceleration. A smaller spur gear further enhances this rear-biased power delivery.

The X8 ’26's updated 35T aluminium pulley allows for the use of larger front tyres, giving you increased traction on bumpy tracks and improved steering response. This is matched with a longer drive belt for consistent power delivery across the extended wheelbase.

The X8 ’26's steering servo is mounted directly to the chassis behind the front suspension, resulting in a super-low centre of gravity and incredibly precise steering. A HUDY hard-anodised aluminium servo saver provides added protection and consistent response.

The X8 ’26's removable electronic plate allows you to easily adjust the flex characteristics of the rear suspension to suit different track conditions. This is further enhanced by the unique flex system, controlled by adding or removing O-rings on the front chassis brace.

The X8 ’26's front axle now features a hard-coated one-way system, delivering improved corner entry speed and stability. Paired with a reinforced and lightweight rear solid axle, you'll experience consistent and predictable handling throughout your race.
