Xray 120° Active Diff segments

Xray have released new Active Diff segments, which are CNC-machined from very tough steel and have very precisely-machined “V” ramp grooves with 120° angle for easy disengagement adjustment. The segment is hardened to ensure long life and durability and the segments are laser engraved for easy recognition. The 120° segments give more immediate response both on and off power. On-power the diff becomes very hard immediately (no delay), while off-power the diff becomes free immediately (no delay). Sold in a set of 2, they are ideally suited for use on slippery and/or flat tracks.

Xray LiPo balancing chassis weights

More new items from Xray who have released this set of LiPo balancing chassis weights. Due to the light weight of LiPo batteries, your car may not be perfectly balanced and so these new weights are developed to help balance the left and right sides of the car. The weights are situated in the center of the chassis to keep the weight in the center of the car for better reaction and roll. Batteries are moved outward so they can be more easily inserted and aluminium holders prevent batteries from coming out. Suitable for the T2’008, T2’009 and T2R PRO 6-cell chassis only.

Xray XII Thicker Chassis & Rear pod

New from Xray is this optional CNC-machined 4-cell chassis for the XII made from 2.5mm high-grade graphite material with a specially-designed compound for carpet racing and asphalt racing. The chassis layout is optimally designed to provide proper stiffness for excellent handling, while being flexible enough to generate good grip and traction. This thicker and therefore harder chassis is best used in higher-traction conditions and should be used with the 2.5mm rear pod lower plate.

Xray 41T Diff Gears

New for Xray’s standard, and active, differential are these 41-tooth large bevel gears that have been machined from special Hudy steel material, which is specially developed for gear-type products. The gear has been additionally hardened and precision ground to fit the tightest tolerance requirements 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 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. This gear is recommended for slippery tracks and offers increased stability while introducing a slight amount of on-power understeer.
