XB2 Concept.

The XB2 is typically XRAY–premium, professional, high competition R/C car for the most demanding racers, developed with attention to the smallest details and backed by premium service & support…a luxury masterpiece.

USA Champion.

At some of the world’s most competitive off-road race – the USA National Championship, it was the XRAY’s Ty Tessmann who brought the first USA National Champion title for the XB2 platform using some of the prototypes of the new 2018 parts. Tested and successfully run in the highest competition races now you can enjoy the winning platform.

Made in Europe.

Designed, developed, and fully manufactured in-house at the XRAY factory in Slovakia, Europe, using the most high-tech German and Swiss machines and premium European materials, crafted with XRAY's legendary attention to detail by our artistic production specialists. The XB2 is truly a masterpiece.

Perfection.

Designed in virtual reality using the world's most sophisticated CAD tools, and manufactured using the world's best machining and molding machinery, the XB2 achieves a level of premium perfection in all details that is second to none.
