Xray Active Center Differential bevel gears

New for their active center differential, Xray have released large bevel gears in 43T, 42T & 41T which have been machined from special Hudy steel material that has been specially developed for gear-type products. They have been additionally hardened and precision ground to fit the tightest tolerance requirements for perfect fit with the diff outdrives. The gears are individually machined on a precision German gear machine and every gear is individually tested, inspected, and run in. The diff gear is then laser engraved with for easy and instant recognition. Their special heat treatment makes the gear very hard and strong not only on the surface but also in the core, thus give the gear an extraordinarily-long lifespan with very low wear comparing to standard gears.
