Sharper corner control with the Tamiya 54897 Ball Differential Set II

For drivers wanting cleaner throttle response, the Tamiya 54897 Ball Differential Set II OP-1897 replaces standard bevel gears to give more consistent power to the driven wheels. That consistency helps when powering out of corners on loose or hardpack surfaces.

Compatible kits and supplied components

This ball differential is suitable for several Tamiya models, for example the Buggy Champ (2009), Sand Scorcher (2010), and Fighting Buggy (2014). Contents include a 1150 ball bearing, eight 3mm differential balls, plus 4mm and 5mm screws so you have everything required for the basic swap.

Adjustable without stripping the gearbox

The design allows on-car adjustment so you can tune differential action between runs. That keeps downtime low and lets you experiment with settings trackside.

Yes, the ball diff helps smooth power delivery which can translate to more predictable behaviour on loose or mixed surfaces. Results depend on car setup and tyre choice.
Replacement 3mm balls and 1150 bearings are common service parts. Source them from hobby shops or parts suppliers if you need spares after wear or damage.
For racing, drivers often run a firmer preload for sharper exits. For casual bashing, a lighter setting gives smoother behaviour. Tune in small steps and record your preferred settings.
