Overview
The Traxxas Centre Differential Kit (TRX10760R) is an essential upgrade component for Mini Maxx RC car enthusiasts in the UK who demand improved performance and durability. This complete differential kit comes fully assembled and ready to install, featuring a high-quality steel spur gear and aluminium carrier design that transforms how your RC vehicle handles power delivery. Whether you're a seasoned RC car UK competitor or an enthusiast looking to enhance your Mini Maxx's capabilities, this centre differential represents a significant performance upgrade that serious RC hobbyists rely on.
The centre differential transfers power to the front and rear differentials independently, enabling smooth power delivery across rough terrain and maximising your corner speed for competitive advantage. This is the kind of precision engineering that separates casual RC bashers from those serious about getting the most from their ready to run RC setup. The sealed design comes pre-loaded with silicone oil, which helps prevent unloading and ballooning of the front tyres — a critical concern for drivers pushing their Mini Maxx to its limits on challenging terrain.
This upgrade is specifically designed for Mini Maxx owners who want to improve driveline durability and distribute power more evenly for maximum acceleration. The all-metal construction and professional-grade engineering make this a trusted choice among RC enthusiasts throughout the UK who understand that quality drivetrain components directly impact vehicle longevity and performance consistency.
Key Features
- All-Metal Construction with Aluminium Carrier — The differential features a robust all-metal design with an aluminium housing that provides ultimate durability and longevity, ensuring your investment in this upgrade lasts through countless hours of RC driving enjoyment.
- 47-Tooth Steel Spur Gear — The included 47-tooth, 32-pitch steel spur gear is precision-engineered to handle the demands of aggressive driving and provides reliable power transmission without the wear and degradation associated with lower-quality materials.
- Sealed Design with Silicone Oil Pre-Load — The differential comes sealed and pre-loaded with silicone oil, which actively prevents unloading and ballooning of the front tyres during acceleration and cornering, maintaining consistent handling characteristics even in demanding driving situations.
- Independent Front and Rear Power Distribution — This centre differential kit transfers power to the front and rear differentials independently, allowing your Mini Maxx to navigate rough conditions smoothly whilst maximising corner speed for competitive performance.
- Shock Absorption and Driveline Protection — The differential absorbs driveline shocks to improve overall vehicle durability, protecting other drivetrain components from excessive wear and extending the service life of your RC car.
- Adjustable Performance via Fluid Viscosity — The sealed differential can be fine-tuned by using different silicone oil viscosities for specific driving conditions, allowing you to optimise handling characteristics for your preferred terrain and driving style.
- Fully Assembled and Ready to Install — This is not a complex kit requiring extensive assembly; it arrives fully assembled and ready for installation, saving you time and ensuring professional-quality results.
- Complete Kit with No Hidden Requirements — The kit includes the complete centre differential assembly with all necessary components, requiring only the standard driveshaft replacement (10757-series) and addition of the 10762 differential pinion gear for full installation.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Centre Differential Kit TRX10760R represents precision engineering designed specifically for Mini Maxx RC vehicles seeking professional-grade performance upgrades. The differential features a 47-tooth, 32-pitch steel spur gear manufactured to exacting tolerances, ensuring smooth power delivery and minimal drivetrain noise. The all-metal construction with aluminium carrier housing provides exceptional durability whilst maintaining a lightweight design that doesn't compromise vehicle dynamics. The sealed differential comes pre-loaded with silicone oil, creating a controlled environment that prevents unloading and ballooning of front tyres — a critical performance factor for drivers taking their RC cars to their limits. The engineering allows for sealed differential adjustment using different silicone oil viscosities, enabling you to tailor differential lock characteristics for specific driving conditions, whether you're tackling sandy terrain, rocky trails, or smooth carpeted surfaces. The independent power distribution to front and rear differentials means your Mini Maxx maintains traction and acceleration characteristics even when encountering uneven terrain or during aggressive cornering. This is the kind of engineering detail that transforms casual RC hobby driving into serious, competitive-level performance. For drivers using NiMH and 2-cell LiPo batteries, this centre differential provides the ideal performance balance. Traxxas recommends the 6780 centre differential kit for those running 3-cell LiPo battery configurations, ensuring you select the appropriate differential for your specific power source.
