Precision Spur Gear for XB2

The XRAY 365872 is a 72-tooth, 48-pitch composite spur gear manufactured from a hard composite mix. Its design removes non critical material to lower rotating weight while conserving the gear strength needed for competitive running.

Designed for Response

When paired with the 3-Pad Slipper Clutch, this spur reduces inertia to sharpen motor response and improve punch out of corners. The composite body means reliable wear characteristics across repeated sessions.

Fit and Service Tips

Prepared for direct fitment on XB2 2024 models, the gear installs with standard procedures and maintains accurate mesh with compatible pinions. Routine inspection and correct pinion spacing will help maximise service life.
Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some XRAY items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

Will this spur gear change gear ratios?

No, gear ratio is determined by the number of teeth on the pinion and spur. This 72T spur keeps the same ratio as other 72T spurs, but reduces rotating mass.

How do I check mesh with a 48-pitch pinion?

Fit the pinion, add thread locker to the set screw as needed, then check backlash by rotating the drivetrain and ensuring slight tooth play. Adjust shimming until smooth engagement is achieved.

Can I run this on both carpet and outdoor tracks?

Yes, the composite spur is versatile for different surfaces. Keep the drivetrain clean and inspect for debris more often after outdoor sessions to avoid accelerated wear.

Is there a recommended routine for preserving gear life?

Regularly clean and inspect the gear, maintain correct slipper clutch settings, and avoid excessive load spikes. Replacing worn pinions promptly will also help the spur last longer.

Does the composite material affect noise compared to metal gears?

Composite spurs often run quieter than some metal alternatives due to damping properties, but correct mesh and wear state are the main factors determining overall drivetrain noise.
