Coming from Xray and made for their XB4 2020 1/10th scale 4WD buggy is a 41T steel bevel gear. Designed for the use with the kit’s large volume differential, the precision-cut gear is best used when smaller front tyres are run, as the 41T bevel gear will result in an overdrive characteristic that will help to compensate for the larger rear tyres. The split design of the gear differential features a separate lightweight crown gear and a separate diff cover. The split design results in significantly lower weight and allows for easier maintenance and setup. The crown gear is CNC-machined from spring steel and ultra-hardened, making it super strong, reliable and very durable.
