Overview of the 52-tooth steel diff

This fully assembled rear differential is designed for compatible TAMIYA 1/10 models. The BBX52S replaces the BBX BB-01 factory rear differential (54471), transforming the ball-type arrangement into a 40Cr steel bevel-gear unit with 52 teeth. It is delivered preassembled and includes thin stainless washers for fine adjustment of bearing clearance.

Fitment notes: BBX models require removal of the two foam spacers prior to installation, while XV01 installs without spacer removal. Differential fluid is not included and must be added at assembly. To equip both ends of a car with this unit, order two sets.

Service and setup advice: two 10x12x0.3mm stainless shims are provided to address bearing play; use a medium-strength threadlocker on screws to reduce the risk of loosening in use. No aftermarket machining is necessary beyond routine rear gearbox access.

  • Rear Complete Differential 52T - 1pcs
  • Stainless Steel Washer 10x12x0.3 - 2pcs

The BBX52S is a straightforward metal differential upgrade for compatible TAMIYA models where a stronger bevel-gear solution is wanted; consult the chassis notes before fitting.

BBX models need the two foam spacers removed prior to installation. XV01 chassis can accept the BBX52S without spacer changes. Follow the chassis-specific guidance for correct installation.
The package contains the complete differential assembly and two stainless 10x12x0.3mm washers only; bearings and differential oil are not included and should be sourced separately if needed.
After installation, rotate the assembly by hand to verify smooth mesh and use the supplied shims to remove any noticeable lateral play at the bearings. Adjust until rotation is free but without excess endplay.
Yes. Applying a medium-strength threadlocker to mounting screws helps maintain clamp and prevents loosening under running loads.
