Xray XB8-series 44T & 45T differential gears

Coming from Xray and made for the XB8 series of buggies and GT cars are new 44T and 45T differential gears. Both are machined from high-quality steel with a hardened surface further increasing durability. Using different gears allows to adjust the final drive ratio and also the top speed and bottom end power. The smaller 44T gear will increase top speed, make for smoother bottom end power and decreased wheel spin while the larger 45T gear leads to “medium” top speed, bottom end power and wheel spin. The gears are available separately and they are usable on the XB8’17 and the new GTX8.

4theTop XB8 2017 carbon fibre brake conversion kit

Coming from 4theTop and made for Xray’s XB8 2017 buggy is a carbon fibre brake conversion kit. It includes a ball-raced carbon fibre centre differential plate for better and more consistent braking as well as a set of carbon fibre brake discs. Their design in combination with the material used will make for less centre diff fading as the diff case and thus the diff oil will stay cooler even during long finals, resulting in improved overall performance. On top of this will the brake action fade less, again making for a more consistent car over the run.

RDRP XB4/XB2 aluminium wing plate

Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced their new aluminium wing plate for the Xray XB2 and XB4. The part is a direct fit on all Xray 1/10th buggies and the 1-piece 7075-T6 aluminium construction improves the durability and aerodynamic efficiency of all buggy wings with flat middle section, as it makes for less wobble and thus a more securely fitted assembly. On top of this will the plate greatly improve visual impact thanks to its anodised surface and the machined edge details. The wing plate is available in black or orange anodising.
