Xray RX8 lightweight front middle shaft

For serious racers conscious of weight savings, Xray have created this new optional front middle shaft for the RX8. CNC-machined from Hudy Spring Steel, it has been strategically lightened by 55% compared to the standard front middle shaft. The front middle shaft is highly wear resistant at contact points, helping to increase the lifespan of the shaft bearings, while rotating mass is reduced without sacrificing strength or durability.
