"Forward-thinking R/C car development... that is a very good way to describe XRAY ever since it came into the R/C car scene in 2000. With a long and distinguished history of racing achievements and ground-breaking, award-winning innovations, XRAY has... does... and will continue to offer the most advanced RC touring car on the market.

Based on the coveted and ultra-successful T2 and T2'007 platforms, the new XRAY T2'008 is a top-quality 'no-compromise' engineering marvel that was designed for a sole purpose... to put you in the winners circle.

'Revolution' 'Evolution' 'Optimization.' Key terms that describe how the T2'008 was realized. XRAY's R&D and the factory driving teams have spent a great deal of time analyzing, testing and creating, all in the effort to bring you the very best optimized platforms for your racing needs. From the optimized suspension... through the optimized drivetrain... to the optimized chassis and top decks... every small detail has been optimized for particular racing conditions. Many of the features that made the T2'007 so successful have been carried over to the T2'008 with numerous details changed to make it even better than its predecessors.

With the changing landscape of R/C touring car racing, the T2'008 has been optimized to outperform in all different racing conditions, whether it be on asphalt or carpet, using rubber or foam tires, 5- or 6-cell or LiPo battery packs running the highest-performance brushed or brushless power plants. Look no further than XRAY... there is a T2'008 version that is optimized for each combination... all inclusive... all that's needed is the desire to win.

Pure design. Pure racing. Pure adrenaline.
