About this part
Top-Tier Dirt Off-Road Racing 2WD Buggy
Engineered for pure racing precision, the XRAY XB2’26 is a next-generation 1/10 electric 2WD buggy built to dominate any surface. With all-updated chassis options, refined geometry, and lightweight titanium components, it delivers unmatched control, traction, and speed — straight from the box to the podium.
About the XB2’26 2WD Buggy
Precision-Built Chassis Options
The XRAY XB2’26 offers two specialized 2.5mm Swiss 7075 T6 aluminum chassis plates—mid-length for carpet (XB2C) and short for dirt (XB2D). Each layout is milled for optimal flex, balance, and control, providing superior traction and cornering stability. Whether on high-grip carpet or loose dirt, both chassis designs deliver predictable handling and podium-level performance.
Refined Suspension Geometry
The XB2’26 introduces updated suspension holders, stronger rear roll center mounts, and optimized toe angles — 1° for carpet and 3° for dirt. The aluminum I.S.S.™ system allows quick geometry changes, while the 6-dot rear shock tower and shorter shock caps enhance corner stability and suspension travel. Combined with stiffer 4-dot springs and precise shock tuning, it ensures responsive handling across surfaces.
Lightweight Titanium Upgrades
Engineered for efficiency, the XB2’26 includes ultra-light titanium turnbuckles, shock pivot balls, and rear shock mounts. These precision components reduce overall weight, enhance durability, and improve responsiveness. The result is sharper steering, smoother suspension movement, and a refined driving feel that gives racers an edge in both speed and reliability.
Optimized Drivetrain Efficiency
With lighter differential outdrives, the XB2’26 reduces rotational mass for faster acceleration and more efficient braking. The Carpet Edition features a precision gear differential with steel satellite gears, while the Dirt Edition includes a smooth, durable ball differential with HUDY Super Diff Grease. Both setups deliver excellent traction and consistency on their respective track types.
Adaptable Racing Performance
Built with versatility in mind, the XB2’26 integrates a universal 3-gear gearbox platform, adjustable differential height, and finely tuned electronics placement for perfect weight balance. Updated front and rear wings maximize downforce and stability, while precision steering and suspension geometry make the XB2’26 a true competition machine—ready to dominate any surface.

After a couple decades away from the hobby having owned multiple nitro touring cars and rc10’s long ago, building this XB2C has been very satisfying. The parts bags were complete, all the parts in them were good quality, and the manual was excellent. I built it up as per manuals specs and paired it with a 21.5T R1 motor. Went to my first carpet track and the car was surprisingly very forgiving considering how inexperienced I am. I was able to string laps together and left with an intact buggy! The quality of plastic and manufacturing from Xray is fantastic. Needless to say, the hobby is back in my life and I want to build more!
Blown away by the instruction manual! Puts the others to shame. Thing went together like butter and this thing hit the track ready to go! I can’t say enough how well it drives. I’m new to XRAY and it looks like I won’t be going anywhere for awhile. Parts look to be a little harder to get than AE and TLR but it’s a trade off I will take.
Amazing build!! Im very excited about this car. I almost have it completed. I took my time with this build and its so worth it. The detail of the car is legendary. I can't wait to hit the track!
All three reviewers gave the XRAY XB2D 2026 1/10 Electric 2WD Competition Buggy Kit five stars, and all three reviews concern the same variant. Reviewers praise the instruction manual, the completeness and quality of the parts bags, and the ease of assembly. One reviewer who tested the buggy on carpet found it forgiving for a less experienced driver and reported no damage after running laps. Another described the handling as very good. One reviewer noted that replacement parts may be harder to source than from AE or TLR, and considered this an acceptable trade-off. The sample is small, and no reviews discuss durability over time or detailed performance comparisons.
- + Excellent instruction manual
- + Complete, good-quality parts bags
- + Easy, enjoyable assembly
- + Forgiving handling on carpet
- − Replacement parts harder to source than AE or TLR
