Xray NT1 CVD Rear Driveshaft set

Xray have released the latest in their extensive line of options for their NT1 200mm car, the CVD rear drive shaft set. This efficient and performance enhancing rear CVD set replaces the standard rear drive shaft and drive axle and is rebuildable with separately-available spare parts.

All major CVD components are strategically lightened without compromising strength, and are manufactured from world-renowned HUDY Spring Steel™ to handle the drivetrain stresses and dramatically reduce wear.
