Xray XB8-series 44T & 45T differential gears

Coming from Xray and made for the XB8 series of buggies and GT cars are new 44T and 45T differential gears. Both are machined from high-quality steel with a hardened surface further increasing durability. Using different gears allows to adjust the final drive ratio and also the top speed and bottom end power. The smaller 44T gear will increase top speed, make for smoother bottom end power and decreased wheel spin while the larger 45T gear leads to “medium” top speed, bottom end power and wheel spin. The gears are available separately and they are usable on the XB8’17 and the new GTX8.
