Reviews

RC Driver - April 2008

"This truggy can be adapted to suit any type of track surface - blue-groove to rough, loose dirt. With all the option parts and the adjustments Xray has built into this truggy, it's one of the best in the industry. I made the changes one at a time, and every time, I could feel the result; my truggy handles great. The low-profile tires make it respond like an 1/8-scale buggy. I undercut other truggies into corners and accelerated out of them faster."

Performance: 9. Durability: 9. Overall Satisfaction: 9. Has Anything Broken? No.

Xtreme RC Cars Magazine - January 2008

"As most of you know by now, XRAY makes some nice products, and the new XT8 is a continuing trend in the luxury line of racecars that they make... I built the XT8 and hit the track to see what this new truggy has to offer, and I've come back to tell you that I was not disappointed."

"When XRAY uses the term 'luxury,' they're not talking about rich-Corinthian leather seats! No, they're referring to well-designed parts and quality materials."

"...XRAY has one heck of a clutch combo. Their design and material selection makes for one powerful clutch. It's a perfect match for a big block engine and really hooks the power up... which is great for a truggy."

"Never have I driven a truggy that looked and felt so fast out of the box. The XT8 had pro-like demeanor..."

"I loved this truggy for jumping!"

"XRAY is known for making quality car kits, and this one will not disappoint. Everything is laid out well with quality parts construction and one of the best instruction manuals in the industry. If you love building car kits, then you will love building the XT8."

"XRAY cars are a tuner's dream, and the XT8 is one of those cars... The XT8 will be a snap to set up for any racetrack you happen to race."

"Best instructions and tuning guide in the business. The best parts, finish, and quality around. Once dialed in, the XT8 makes you look like a pro."

"The XRAY XT8 is a truggy of considerable value. It has all 'the good stuff' you could want in a truggy. It has great parts finish, a well-thought-out design with sweetly machined aluminum parts to reduce weight, and it's a beautiful truggy to look at."

RC Driver - August 2007

"This truggy is second to none in fit and finish, and it went together easily and quickly. If you are looking for a new truggy or want to expand your off-road RC driving ability this may be the perfect truggy for you."

"Highly tunable. Top-notch handling. Captured hinge-pins. Fit and finish are unsurpassed."

"The 1/8 truggy class is the fastest growing category in off-road RC racing, and this truck will add more excitement and interest. Fit, finish, adjustability and design are some of the things that make this truck a top competitor."

"The differentials are a work of art. The fit into the gearbox is unsurpassed, with no need for shims on the pinion gear. Kudos!"

"You'll find lots of spring steel on the truck, it's this sort of attention to quality and detail that separates XRAY from its competitors."

"Braking is right on... The stock brakes are great."

"The XT8 is a showoff when it comes to jumping."

"Team XRAY always turns heads when a new vehicle comes out of their stable, but the XT8 is going to break some necks. The truck got a lot of attention at the track and left some racers contemplating selling their current truck. The XT8 has all the luxury you expect from XRAY, but it isn't overcomplicated and fits the bill for the amateur racers as well as seasoned pros. XRAY did a phenomenal job with their introduction into the truggy class."
