Renew Your XV-02 Differential with the 40T Ring Gear Set

The Tamiya 51696 Ring Gear Set is intended as a drop-in repair kit for the XV-02 gear differential. The bundle includes a 40T ring gear, a 15T bevel pinion, a gasket and the differential case so you can rebuild the unit with correct parts.

What Each Part Does

Ring Gear (40T): Converts pinion rotation into the differential gear train for steady drive.
Bevel Pinion Gear (15T): Engages the ring gear to maintain smooth power transmission.
Gasket: Prevents diff oil loss and keeps debris out of the gear cavity.
Differential Case: Keeps all gears aligned and resists flex under torque.

Use Cases and Fitment

Built for use with the Tamiya XV-02 chassis, this gear set replaces worn internal parts to restore handling and driveline reliability. It is suitable for routine servicing and for replacing damaged components after heavy use.

Is a full differential rebuild required to fit these parts?

You can replace individual items, but a full rebuild is recommended to check bearings, seals and gear wear for best long term performance.

Are replacement bearings needed when installing this set?

Bearings should be inspected and replaced if they show play or roughness. New bearings improve longevity and help the new gears run quietly.

What checks should I perform after assembly?

Verify gear mesh, confirm the gasket seal, top up diff oil and perform a short test run to listen for chatter or binding. Re-torque fasteners after the first session.
