Chassis.
The X8 includes a distinctive sandwich chassis design with a battery tray that’s built-in from the highest for longitudinal reinforcement of the decrease chassis plate. The battery tray and decrease chassis work collectively in a uniform flex system.
Battery Tray.
The distinctive battery tray system of the X8 works along with the decrease chassis plate in a uniform flex system.
Chassis Flex.
The uniform flex system of the chassis permits to regulate totally different flex traits to regulate the automotive to all totally different monitor situations. By including or eradicating the screws on the entrance chassis brace the flex may be adjusted from very mushy as much as very stiff.
Electronics Installation.
Different battery varieties characteristic totally different digital set up choices for optimized weight steadiness.
Battery Mounting.
Wicket bracket retains the batteries aside with a niche in between for impartial battery flex within the battery tray as nicely to enhance cooling of the batteries.
Bulkheads.
The aluminum bulkheads are designed to affix the decrease chassis plate and battery tray collectively in a sturdy, environment friendly, and light-weight design. The bulkheads present optimum stiffness, flex and dealing with traits, even when utilizing more durable foam tires.
Front End.
The graphite plate of the entrance suspension connects to the aluminum bulkheads with the servo and steering straight hooked up to it. The entrance meeting is hooked up to the chassis by an aluminum pivot ball holder for inflexible and exact operation.
Front Pod.
Fully impartial entrance pod strikes on the pivot balls to make sure most efficiency from the entrance suspension. There are two totally different pod stiffness adjustment options that can be utilized for straightforward adjustment to suit particular person preferences.
Rear End.
The whole rear finish is mounted on the decrease chassis impartial of the radio tray. The rear part includes a graphite rear bumper that protects the automotive from again markers and serves as a handy location to carry the automotive.
Belt & Belt Tensioner.
To improve the reliability and power, the 4WD system includes a huge 6mm low friction belt. The bolstered high-efficiency low-friction drive belt be certain that energy is correctly and effectively transferred to all drivetrain elements.
The a number of flanged bearing belt tensioner system permits for a clean and dependable drivetrain. The superior belt tensioning system requires much less stress, permitting extra chassis flex for improved dealing with with out worry of belt skip points.
Caster & Axle Height.
Adjusting the entrance caster is a quite simple course of, made by loosening 4 (4) screws and transferring the higher graphite plate to one in all three adjustment positions. The three caster settings are 10°, 13.5° and 17°.
Servo Saver.
The servo saver has a brief stand to match the low top of the battery tray and a key-lock system that ensures the servo saver will keep secured even throughout chassis flex in excessive situations.
Pivot Balls.
The X8 entrance suspension accommodates precision pivot balls which are specifically hardened to raised stand up to harsh crashes and lengthen their lifespan.
Steering Blocks.
The steering blocks are molded from a medium composite combination to maintain suspension geometry constant and to supply power and accuracy.
Bumper.
The entrance decrease bumper options additional physique mount positions to suit all standard racing our bodies. The aluminum 7075 T6 entrance physique posts use eccentric mounting for entrance/rear mounting areas that place the physique 2mm entrance or rear.
Front Offset & Track Width.
Front monitor width is well adjustable by way of steering block pivot balls, and the entrance offset is adjusted by 0.5–2.5mm utilizing included shims. This alters steering geometry & steering traits.
Rear Track Width.
Rear monitor width is adjusted by including or eradicating shims & wheel pins on the rear axle. It’s adjustable in a variety of 3mm.
Rear Body Holders.
The rear physique holders may be moved frontwards or rearward along with the physique by 2mm. The facet holder posts are absolutely adjustable to make sure the physique is correctly supported on the desired top. The excessive stage of stiffness prevents physique flex throughout excessive speeds to keep up consistency and stability from the dealing with.
