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.

LRP BEC, Engine Monoblock & Starter box

Three releases that we skipped over earlier in the week from LRP are a new heavy duty BEC, one-piece aluminium engine mount and new competition starter box. The BEC is a new extremely strong voltage regulator for use with LiPo receiver batteries in nitro models and works perfectly with heavy cars and powerful servos, such as those found in 1/5th – 1/8th scale models. The new one-piece blue anodized aluminium motor mount for the S8-BX and S8-TX stiffens up the chassis around the engine and of course enables a quick engine removal and remounting. Finally, similar to the one released by Nosram on Friday, LRP have also released their new Spec.2 compact and lightweight starter box that has a new higher positioned starter wheel for more precise car positioning and faster starts.
