Reinforced Diffs and Upper Bulkheads

This aftermarket assembly replaces the stock front and rear differentials and upper bulkheads on TRAXXAS XRT 8S vehicles. Differential bevels and pinions are machined from heat-treated 4140 carbon steel to increase torsional strength and wear resistance. The housings and upper bulkheads are CNC machined from 7075-T6 aluminium to add rigidity while retaining sensible mass for RC performance. The kit is aimed at heavy-duty RC use where repeated impacts and high torque are common.

Included with the kit are a 32T diff bevel gear and 10T pinion gears produced to module M1.6, plus the bearings and gaskets required for the assembled differentials. The metal gearset and alloy housings help stabilise differential action during torque spikes and reduce wear on plastic factory gears by moving load to tougher materials.

This kit suits hobbyists focused on tuning and durability, delivering a straightforward metal upgrade that keeps the original mounting geometry while enhancing load-bearing capacity.

Set bearing preload and adjust gear mesh so there is minimal but smooth clearance between bevel and pinion gears. Verify backlash under light torque and perform a short run-in at low power before full-load testing.
The stiffer housings and hardened gears can make drivetrain response more predictable under load, which may translate to more consistent traction and handling during aggressive driving or jumps.
Run the assembled diffs at low speed with light loads for a short period to seat gear surfaces, then inspect mesh and fastener torque before returning to normal operation.
Use the supplied grade 12.9 screws and follow recommended torque values for your vehicle; proper torque prevents loosening while avoiding excessive preload on bearings.
