Xray XB808 10T Pinion Gear for 3 bearings

Xray have released this 3-bearing, 10-tooth bevel drive gear for the XB808 front/rear differential. Manufactured from premium Hudy spring steel, it has been precision machined on a special gear machine and heat treated for maximum strength, durability, minimal wear and extra-long lifespan. The 3-bearing pinion gear is a direct fit into the XB808 2010-spec bulkhead, requiring use of the special collars that provide even spacing between bearings. With capturing screws tightened, both bearings are strengthened in the block so they can support more load thus improving bearing lifespan.

Xray Column – Nationals all around

The 43rd installment in the Xray column from Xray owner and chief designer Juraj Hudy is now online. In this months column he talks about a break in his busy racing schedule and focuses on the National success of the team all around the world.

The most important part of the season within the last two years is coming and we do not want to keep anything for the last minute and be ready and prepared as much as possible. But still I know there will be last minute changes and quick decisions which will be required based on the feedback and results from the warm-ups, so I want to have majority of the regular work and basic projects ready ready now, to save the capacity for the absolute peak in the summer.
