XRAY has released the 2019 edition of the XB2D 1/10-scale 2wd buggy, which features a long list of new features included the "all-in-one concept" allowing for mid or front motor build option.

XRAY says, "New All-In-One concept offers great setup versatility to find the best configuration for any track condition. When grip is low, the mid motor position shifts weight to the rear tires for increased rear traction and stability. When track conditions improve and grip is up, the front motor position lowers CG and moves weight forward for increased steering and better corner speed."
