FAQ

Give Your TB-04 Extra Durability with Steel Bevel Gears

The Tamiya 54540 steel bevel gear set is a straight-forward upgrade for TB-04 and TB-04 PRO chassis owners who need tougher differential internals. Steel gears cope better with high-torque motors and frequent running than standard plastic counterparts.

Highlights of the Tamiya 54540 Kit

Material: Steel gear construction improves resistance to wear and deformation.
Compatibility: Engineered for TB-04 and TB-04 PRO chassis systems.
Components: Pack includes two 20T bevel gears and four 12T bevel gears, enough for one gear differential.

Best Practices for Fitment

Ensure the differential housing and teeth are clean before fitting the Tamiya 54540 gears. Use an appropriate metal gear grease, set gear mesh carefully, and run-in the unit gently. Periodic checks will extend service life.

Fantastic I received every part I ordered in perfect condition.

Do these replace the stock bevel gears directly?

Yes, the Tamiya 54540 bevel gears are sized to replace the standard bevel gears in a TB-04 gear differential unit.

Are upgrades to bearings recommended when using steel gears?

Upgrading worn bearings is recommended since metal gears transfer more load to bearings. Healthy bearings help prevent premature wear in the new gears.

How do I check gear mesh after install?

With the differential assembled, rotate the output and inspect tooth contact. Adjust shims or carrier position until teeth engage smoothly without binding or excessive clearance.
