Previously available for the Active diff on the XB808, Xray have released these lightweight outdrive adapters for the standard front & rear differentials. Made from Hudy spring steel, one of the toughest steel material available, the outdrives have been strategically machined to be lighter than the standard versions, while their special elongated design secures the drive shafts so they do not fall out in heavy jumps. 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.

Two new products from KM Racing, the first is this carbon fibre upper deck for the Mugen MTX4 1/10th scale. Lighter than the standard version, through extra milling of the surface, it is otherwise virtually identical to the original. For the Xray NT1 their is a new adjustable rear anti-roll bar. Machined from aluminium, more flex is given through the addition of central slot, and of course the stiffness of the ARB is easily adjusted by rotation of the steel blades.

Xray have released this set of CNC-machined FRP chassis and front/rear upper decks for the T2R Pro. The main advantage of the FRP material is its flex allowance. Due to the flex, the chassis and top decks create more traction and stability on low-traction asphalt tracks compared to standard graphite material. Knowing that every small detail impacts the handling and performance of a high-performance car, Xray CNC-machines every chassis in-house using the most modern German milling machines. fully robotically-operated and controlled to ensure that every chassis meets the tightest manufacturing tolerances. Suitable for the T2‘009, T2‘008 and T2R Pro.
