Better sealing for Tamiya oil-filled differentials

If you service Tamiya differentials regularly, the Tamiya 42259 5mm Gear Differential O-Rings are a practical spare. These red rings suit oil-filled sealed gear differentials installed in models such as the TA-05, TA-06, XV-01 and TRF417. The marginally smaller inner diameter compared to standard black O-rings produces a snug seal that helps prevent oil leakage and prolong differential integrity.

Overview of Tamiya 42259 features

Material: Elastic rubber chosen for durability
Color: Red for easy identification during strip-downs
Compatibility: Appropriate for TA-05, TA-06, XV-01 and TRF417 chassis
Function: Reduces oil loss to maintain differential performance
Quantity: Eight pieces included per pack

Do these O-rings suit older Tamiya kits?

They are designed for oil-filled sealed gear differentials and will fit older Tamiya units that use the same 5mm sizing, but check the groove and shaft dimensions before fitting.

Will the red colour affect heat or wear?

Colour is for identification only; the red rubber material performs like other quality O-rings and will wear similarly under normal use. Replace when you observe cuts or flattening.

How many spares should I carry to events?

One set per car is a sensible minimum. Keep extra rings in the pit kit for quick in-field repairs or differential rebuilds between runs.
