JQ Products have released this smaller 41T front diff crown gear for THE Car. This gear makes the front tyres pull more when on power, in relation to the rear. Most drivers who have tried this gear, feel that it makes the car easier to drive, specially on power, as the rear end stays more planted. It also changes the feel of the steering and for most drivers makes it easier to hold their line in corners.

X Factory made the first one specially for the Bill Bridges benefit race last month, and they were so popular that they decided to produce them for the public.

Cut from T6 alloy and hard anodised in black colour the chassis give the buggy a 10mm shorter wheelbase for improved rear traction, turn in and agility. Added front kick-up gives a safer and more composed steering while the flat rear part of the chassis plate gives greater standard anti-squat and also moves the rear gearbox providing a slight increase in weight loading towards the rear of the car. All chassis are checked for trueness and accuracy.
