Xenon Racing 84 pitch prototype gears

Xenon Racing are currently testing new ultra-fine 84 pitch spur gears and pinions for the use with direct drive pan cars. With 64 pitch being tried and tested over decades the finer 84dp items will make for even higher efficiency and lower running noise. Prototypes of the gears will be in use at this year’s IFMAR Electric On-Road World Championships in the U.S. and it is understood that a decision whether the gears will make it into production or not will be made afterwards depending on the testing results.

Xenon EP Buggy ride height gauge

Japanese company Xenon, who are present at the World Championship in Thailand, showed us one of their new products designed for the electric buggy market. The clever ride height gauge has been machined from a piece of black anodised aluminium, with a hole down the centre to reduce height. It works in a similar fashion to their innovative ride height guage in that rotating the tool gives it different heights to measure. Simple and effective, it can measure ride heights from 21mm to 28mm.
