Xray XB808 Center Diff Spur gears

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.

X-Factory X-5 CNC Machined Pulleys

X-Factory have announced that beginning immediately all X–5 Squared conversion kits will contain CNC machined pulleys as standard. These great new pulleys are individually machined from Delrin on a CNC mill and so they have perfect teeth and are perfectly round. All X–5 Squared kits now contain one CNC machined drive pulley and two CNC machined differential pulleys. The new pulleys are from the same supplier as the company’s former D.D.P. machined pulleys and are the same top quality, but X Factory has purchased in quantity to obtain far better pricing, so what was formerly an expensive option is now standard equipment in all kits.

Serpent S400 Aluminium CVD Shafts

New for the Serpent S400 are these anodized aluminium CVD drive shafts. Super lightweight, they are 3 grams lighter than the steel versions, giving a saving of 12 grams when used throughout the car. This weight gain means reduced rotating mass, which translates into faster acceleration and top speeds. Sold in a set of 2, they are suitable for the front and rear of the car, but due to the current power being delivered by modern electronic equipment it is advised to use them only the rear, as when used on the front they may wear quicker than the standard steel versions.
