Techra T4 Stock Racing hard-coated front spool cups

Coming from Techra and made for the Xray T4 touring car are hard-coated aluminium front spool cups. The lightweight parts are machined from 7075-T6 aluminium and they scrub about 5g of weight compared to Xray’s optional spring steel cups while offering higher rigidity than the standard composite parts. Their hard-coated surface in combination with Techra’s delrin drive shaft caps make them very durable, although they are only recommended for stock racing.
