Servicing the TB-04 sealed differential

The Tamiya 51553 gear differential gasket set is a straightforward service item for TB-04 owners who want to keep the sealed differential functioning correctly. These gaskets help retain oil and keep contaminants out of the geartrain.

Model fit

The gaskets are shaped for the TB-04 differential housing to offer an accurate fit. Replacing worn or flattened gaskets is a simple maintenance step that supports consistent diff performance on track or around the local layout.

Swap advice

Remove all old oil and adhesive residues before fitting new gaskets and inspect the housing faces for nicks or burrs. Regular checks and timely replacement will reduce the chance of leaks and extend differential life.

Signs include visible oil at the housing seam, loss of expected diff resistance, or oil contamination on surrounding parts. Any of these indicate a gasket change is due.
Only use gaskets that match the TB-04 housing dimensions. Third party parts may fit but always verify the sealing surface and thickness before relying on them.
Tighten screws in a criss cross pattern and incrementally to seat the gasket evenly. Avoid over tightening which can crush the gasket and cause leaks.
Keep spare gaskets flat and stored in a clean, dry container away from solvents and direct sunlight to prevent deformation before use.
