Upgrade the rear end of your TA08 PRO with a lighter ball diff

The Tamiya 22040 TA08 Lightweight Ball Differential Set 37T OP-2040 provides a lower-mass alternative to standard diffs, helping the TA08 PRO rotate more freely where traction is scarce. When mounted in the rear, it creates a controlled limited-slip characteristic that improves corner stability and throttle control.

Core components inside the set

The kit contains parts selected to cut weight and boost driveline consistency:

  • Aluminum Differential Joints: Durable A and B joint elements for accurate operation.
  • Lightweight Ball Differential Pulley: A 37T pulley crafted to be lighter without sacrificing durability.
  • Differential Plates and Screws: Fitted plates and fasteners for dependable assembly.
  • High-Quality Bearings and Steel Balls: 850 bearings and steel balls supplied for smooth, low-friction performance.
  • Compatibility: Intended for TA08 PRO use and compatible with TA07 and TRF420 chassis families.

Setup recommendations

Install this ball differential to tame oversteer on slick circuits. If you face high-grip conditions, switch to an oil-filled gear diff to get firmer overall response and sharper turn-in.

Use a light diff grease sparingly on contact surfaces if recommended in your setup notes. Over-greasing can mask the ball diff behavior, so apply minimal amounts and test on track.
This ball diff is best suited to low-grip road and touring surfaces where progressive slip helps. For drifting, setups usually prefer different diff characteristics and may need tuning to achieve sustained slides.
Inspect balls and bearings after every few runs on abrasive surfaces. Replace worn steel balls and keep bearings clean to preserve smooth diff action and predictable handling.
