Upgrade the TB-04 Differential with Tough Steel Bevels

For drivers upgrading a Tamiya TB-04 or TB-04 PRO chassis, the Tamiya 54540 steel bevel gear set delivers a robust replacement for fragile stock gears. Steel bevels tolerate higher torque and repeated use better than standard plastic parts.

Key Points for the Tamiya 54540 Gear Set

Material: Durable steel gives improved wear resistance over plastic options.
Compatibility: Intended specifically for TB-04 and TB-04 PRO chassis types.
Components: Contains two 20T bevel gears and four 12T bevel gears, enough for one differential assembly.

Installation and Maintenance Guidance

Prior to fitting the Tamiya 54540 gears, clean the differential internals and remove any debris. Apply a suitable metal-compatible grease, ensure correct mesh settings, and recheck after a few short runs to confirm everything is seating correctly.

Fantastic I received every part I ordered in perfect condition.

Will these gears fit other differentials?

They are made for the TB-04 gear differential layout. Other differentials may differ in dimensions, so check compatibility before buying.

Do steel gears need a different lubricant?

Use a grease formulated for metal gears. Avoid excessively thick pastes that can restrict movement; a light to medium metal gear grease works well.

How can I reduce wear after upgrading?

Keep the differential clean, maintain correct gear mesh, replace worn bearings, and avoid sustained overloading to maximise the service life of the Tamiya 54540 gears.
