Tamiya 54158 aluminum differential case for reliable running

The Tamiya 54158 Aluminum Differential Housing Set upgrades the look and strength of your F104 with a blue anodised finish. It promotes smoother differential action while offering easy access for servicing sessions. The unit stays secure during wheel removal, making it practical for quick checks and routine maintenance.

Compatibility details and fitting advice

This housing supports both F104 and F103 chassis configurations. To fit it on an F103 you must add item 54162 to correct the axle length prior to installation. That ensures correct gear mesh and prevents undue stress on driveline components.

Very pleased with the service. I will order again soon. Thanks

Does the aluminium housing change cooling of the diff?

Aluminium sheds heat better than plastic, so it can help keep internal temperatures a little lower during long runs, though the effect is modest.

Should I replace bearings when upgrading the housing?

Inspect bearings for play or roughness and replace if needed. Fresh bearings help maintain smooth diff function after fitting the new housing.

Where can I get item 54162 if needed?

Item 54162 is available through official parts suppliers or hobby stores that stock Tamiya spares. Confirm compatibility before ordering to match your chassis variant.
