Refine Manta Ray performance with the Tamiya 53070 ball diff

The Tamiya 53070 Ball Differential Set is aimed at enthusiasts running 1/10 scale electric off-road cars who want steadier traction and improved drivability across mixed surfaces.

Main components and practical benefits

This differential kit includes parts chosen for reliability and control:

  • Differential Spur Gear: Precision plastic spur gear designed to balance weight and strength for smooth power transfer.
  • Metal Components: A set of metal pressure plates, thrust washers and joint parts that reinforce the gearbox under load.
  • Disk Springs and O-Rings: These provide accurate tensioning and effective sealing to keep the differential responsive.

Assembly and upkeep advice

During assembly, coat the components with the provided diff grease to reduce wear and improve smoothness. Regular inspections after rough or wet runs will help you spot seal wear or spring fatigue before they affect handling.

Having purchased multiple items from these guys I couldn't be more happier to carry on purchasing parts for my RC cars.

Is the Tamiya 53070 easy to service at home?

Yes, routine servicing is straightforward with basic RC tools. Remove the gearbox, clean components, inspect springs and seals, then reapply grease before reassembly.

Can I adjust the differential to suit tarmac or dirt?

You can alter disk spring preload and experiment with grease viscosity to tailor slip and lockup characteristics for harder or looser surfaces.

Are there upgrade paths from this diff?

Upgrades typically include alternate spring rates, different grease types, or hardened metal internal parts. Check compatibility before buying any third party upgrades.

What signs show the differential needs replacement?

Look for excessive play, noisy operation, leaking seals or inconsistent locking. If repairs do not restore smooth action, consider replacing the unit.
