Xray have released these large bevel gears for the centre differential on the XB808. Machined from special Hudy steel material that has been specially developed for gear-type products, the gears have been additionally hardened and precision ground to fit the tightest tolerance requirements, for a perfect fit with the diff out drives. The gears are individually machined on a precision German gear machine and every gear is individually tested, inspected, and run in. The diff gears are then laser engraved for easy and instant recognition and a special heat treatment makes the gear very hard and strong, not only on the surface but also in the core, thus giving the gear an extraordinarily long lifespan with very low wear compared to standard gears.
