Xray pan car gear differential sets

Following a couple of teaser images Xray have finally introduced their all-new pan car gear differential sets for 1/10th and 1/12th on-road cars. The lightweight gear diff will increase on-power steering and traction especially in high to very high bite conditions while being virtually maintenance-free due to a complex sealing system. In addition the whole assembly is super efficient and smooth, which further improves the car’s overall performance. The diffs come as complete kits to replace the standard ball differentials, with no extra parts needed and they are available for Xray’s X12 1/12th pan cars, X10 200mm 1/10th kits as well as the X1 1/10th formula chassis.
