Restore XV-02 Drive Reliability with the 40T Ring Gear

The Tamiya 51696 Ring Gear Set contains the essential parts to repair or refresh an XV-02 gear differential. Included are a 40T ring gear, a 15T bevel pinion gear, a gasket and a differential case to keep the drivetrain functioning smoothly.

Parts Included and Purpose

Ring Gear (40T): Handles the main torque path and keeps wheel rotation in sync.
Bevel Pinion Gear (15T): Pairs with the ring gear to sustain efficient power delivery from the gearbox.
Gasket: Provides a seal to prevent oil escape and protect internals.
Differential Case: Secures the gear train and resists deformation under load.

Compatibility Notes

Specifically produced for the Tamiya XV-02 chassis, this set is the correct substitution for damaged or worn differential parts. Fit it during scheduled maintenance or as part of a rebuild to maintain handling and drivetrain efficiency.

Will this improve traction on rough surfaces?

Replacing worn gears restores consistent power transfer, which helps maintain traction. For surface-specific grip, pair with suitable tyres and diff oil.

Do I need special tools to install the ring gear?

Standard hobby tools are enough: hex drivers, pliers and a torque-aware driver for screws. A press or careful hand-fitting may be needed for the ring gear onto the case.

Can I reuse the old differential case with these gears?

If the old case is not warped and has no cracks, you can reuse it, but inspect bearing seats and shaft holes for wear before assembly.
