Durable Front/Rear Diff and Upper Bulkhead Assembly

This aftermarket kit is designed to replace the stock front and rear differential assemblies and upper bulkheads on TRAXXAS XRT 8S platforms. Differential bevels and pinions are produced from heat-treated 4140 carbon steel for improved strength and wear life. Housings and upper bulkheads are CNC machined from 7075-T6 aluminum to increase chassis stiffness where it matters while keeping weight reasonable. The kit targets heavy-duty RC use-cases and is intended to provide a tougher, more predictable drivetrain under sustained stress.

Spec highlights include a 32T bevel gear, 10T pinion gears, and module M1.6 component specification. Bearings and gaskets required for the assembled differentials are included to allow direct replacement of the factory parts. The alloy housings and hardened steel gears redistribute loads away from factory plastic components to reduce wear and improve long-term reliability.

This kit is a practical upgrade for UK hobbyists who want increased drivetrain robustness on 1/5 and 1/6 TRAXXAS platforms while keeping installation and tuning straightforward.

The components are intended for the listed XRT 8S variants and share the same mounting points and interfaces; confirm model numbers against the compatibility list before purchase.
No specialised tooling beyond standard RC workshop tools is required, but use a torque driver for the grade 12.9 screws and check bearing seating with appropriate presses or drivers.
Reusing the original plastic gears is not recommended; the kit supplies hardened steel bevels and pinions to replace factory plastic gearsets for improved longevity under high load.
Verify gear mesh, bearing preload, and fastener torque, then perform a short low-load run to confirm smooth operation before returning to full-power driving.
