Xray XB4 composite 6° C-hub

Xray have produced this graphite moulded composite C-hub for right & left steering block on the XB4 & XT4. The specially-formulated graphite composite material is a perfect balance between reliability and performance. With the caster pre-set at 6° the roll centre position can be quickly & easily adjusted by inserting different thickness shims atop the caster block, between the block and vertical ball stud. This graphite C-hub is suitable for most track conditions, especially for high- and very-high-traction tracks. Large openings allow for quick & easy assembly/disassembly of the CVDs meaning the entire CVD assembly can be easily inserted/removed through the C-hub without the need for disassembly. The large openings also prevent jamming of the CVD within the C-hub during serious crashes.

Xray X4 aluminium steering block

New from Xray for the X4 is this optional aluminium steering block CNC-machined from premium lightweight T6 aluminium. Ultra-strong construction, it provides very long life and durability in even the most extreme racing conditions. A direct replacement for the standard composite hubs, using the steering blocks in an aluminium material reduces flex, improves consistency and will free up the car, mainly for high grip conditions and especially in spec racing classes. The X4 hub features new suspension geometry for improved steering and traction and contain an updated drive axle that moves the driveshaft pivot point deeper into the hub, in line with the hub’s rotational axis between the upper and lower arm. This alignment improves driveline efficiency and handling. The aluminium front steering plates and rear ARS plates are easily mounted depending on the hub’s location and the design of the hub is universal with the same part used at all four corners with corresponding extensions.

Exotek Racing XB2 7075 alloy idler gears

Exotek Racing have introduced these hard anodised 7075 alloy idler gears for the complete Xray XB2 series of gear boxes. Available in 38T, 36T and 25T, they are a must have for high powered racing applications. This is much stronger than the stock plastic idler gear but not indestructible so it is important to use black or white grease on the gears and reapply frequently to prolong its life along with proper slipper adjustments.
