Xray have introduced this unique active center differential, which is a high-performance, adjustable center gear differential for XB808 buggies, vastly improving the buggy’s speed and handling characteristics. The special design of the internal components, using different angled segments, allows the diff gears to engage on-power to increase the forward traction and stability of the buggy, making it faster and easier to drive. Developed for improving steering for high traction off-road tracks, it must be used with the previously released front active differential. While it s a performance option for serious racers who want to gain an edge on superior speed and handling, it is also of great benefit to any level of driver that wants to a more aggressive car with more turn in response.

CNC-machined on precision German long-turn machines they are additionally ground and strategically lightened to reduce rotating weight, then further hardened to ensure maximum strength and extra-long lifespan. Final precision hand-grinding ensures a very high tolerance to ensure an ultra-smooth tight fit in the diff body and diff gear.
