Based on its ultra-successful predecessor, XRAY proudly presents the new RX8E. The new electric kit incorporates the latest improvements and refinements of the RX8 platform developed by the team and race-proven in high-competition races around the world.

With attention to the smallest details and a mandate to simplify servicing of the car, the all-new RX8E features cross-platform compatibility to ensure you can use the same car platform for both nitro and electric powered version making it either RX8 or RX8E. Most of the parts between RX8 and RX8E are fully compatible.
