42197 TRF417 Gear Differential Unit II

42197 TRF417 Gear Differential Unit II

The use of a gear differential unit is becoming a major trend at R/C touring car races around the world. This Gear Differential Unit uses oils with different viscosity for adjustment, which results in optimum power transmission from the high-power brushless motors as well as improved traction and acceleration. The unit is fully enclosed and the built-in gears are less likely to wear out compared with ball differentials.

The use of a gear differential unit is becoming a major trend in the touring car class that use very high power brushless motor technology. The Tamiya Gear Differential Unit uses oils with different viscosity to attain adjustment, which results in optimum power transmission from the high-power brushless motors in the market today. It also improves traction and acceleration. TRF Driver Marc Rheinard uses these units in the front and rear of his TRF417 when racing on carpet to minimize diff rebuilds that are common when using a traditional ball diff unit. The unit is fully enclosed and the built-in gears are less likely to wear out compared with ball differentials.

• TRF417 Gear Differential Unit II x 1pc.
• Aluminum Diff Cup Joint (exclusive to this item) x 2pcs.
• Bevel Gear: 12T/20T (Item 42185 TRF417 Gear Differential Unit includes bevel gears with 10T/20T).
• Compatible with TRF417, TRF416, 416WE 416X chassis machines.
• Silicone diff oils of 100000 weight are recommended as a starting point for the front and 1000 for the rear.
• Assembly tip! Use Green Slime or any type of sealer grease commonly used for R/C damper shocks for the gasket and rubber o-rings. This will create a better leak free seal between the diff cases.
