Longer Running for Your Diffs with Tamiya 53970

Preventing dust from reaching moving parts is an easy way to reduce rebuilds. The Tamiya 53970 Dust Protector Seal helps stop abrasive particles entering the differential, which keeps gear meshes cleaner and reduces wear over time.

Which Models It Fits

This protector is compatible with Tamiya TRF501X, TRF415 series, and TA05 chassis, and offers a tight fit to keep contaminants out. It suits kit tuners and weekend bashers who want lower maintenance demands.

Simple Installation and Care

Fitting the seal is quick and can be done during a normal maintenance session. Clean the seating area, press the seal into place without forcing it, and check periodically for deterioration to keep it performing well.

Will this seal stop sandy debris from entering the gear case?

It greatly reduces sand and fine grit entry when correctly fitted, though very fine dust can still find its way in over long periods. Regular inspection helps catch buildup early.

Is the Tamiya 53970 easy to remove for servicing?

Yes. The seal is designed for straightforward removal and refitting during maintenance. Use a gentle prying action and avoid damaging the seal lip when removing it.

Should I lubricate the seal area before installation?

A light smear of compatible grease on the seating surface can help the seal seat evenly and reduce wear on the lip. Avoid excess lubricant that could attract more dirt.
