Key Features

• Milled from high-grade 6061-T6 aluminium — This aerospace-grade aluminium alloy is renowned for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, meaning your differential housing will be incredibly durable without adding unnecessary weight to your RC vehicle. The 6061-T6 designation indicates the alloy has been heat-treated to maximum hardness, providing superior rigidity for precise differential operation under extreme driving conditions.
• Brilliant anodised finish in green — The anodisation process creates a hard, protective oxide layer on the aluminium surface that resists corrosion, oxidation, and wear from dirt, mud, and water exposure. The vibrant green colour is both eye-catching and practical, helping you quickly identify this component during maintenance or repairs on your RC vehicle.
• Precision machined construction — Each housing is machined to exacting tolerances to ensure perfect dimensional accuracy. This precision engineering guarantees that the differential housing will integrate seamlessly with your existing drivetrain components, eliminating any fitment issues and ensuring smooth, reliable operation of your RC car's differential system.
• Factory fit and finish quality — Genuine Traxxas components are made by the same engineers who designed your vehicle, which means this housing is engineered to the exact specifications required by your RC truck or monster truck. You'll experience the same quality control and attention to detail that goes into every Traxxas product.
• Fits front or rear position — The versatile design of this differential housing means you can use it at either the front or rear of your vehicle, giving you flexibility when upgrading or repairing your RC setup. This compatibility saves money by allowing a single upgrade to work across multiple positions on your chassis.
• Premium quality construction throughout — From the material selection through to the final finishing process, every aspect of this differential housing reflects Traxxas's commitment to building products that last. RC enthusiasts across the UK trust Traxxas components because they consistently deliver reliability and performance.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Differential Housing (Front & Rear) represents the pinnacle of drivetrain component engineering for high-performance RC vehicles. Constructed from 6061-T6 aluminium—a material widely recognised for its use in aerospace and precision engineering applications—this housing delivers the strength required for demanding driving conditions whilst maintaining the lightweight characteristics essential for optimal RC performance. The material has been specifically selected for its machinability, allowing Traxxas engineers to precision-mill each housing to exact specifications that guarantee perfect alignment with all mating components. The anodised finish provides a durable, corrosion-resistant protective layer that withstands the rigours of mud, water, and debris exposure that comes with regular RC use. This differential housing is compatible with multiple X-Series Traxxas vehicles including the X-Maxx (available in multiple colour options including orange, blue, red, and green), X-Maxx Ultimate variants, X-Monster chassis, and the XRT platform (VXL-8S and Ultimate editions). The engineering precision ensures that whether you're operating a brushless 8S LiPo-powered monster truck or a 4WD buggy platform, this housing will perform consistently under high-stress conditions. The milled construction allows for optimal internal geometry, supporting reliable differential action during high-speed cornering and demanding off-road bashing sessions across UK terrain.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Which Traxxas models is this differential housing compatible with? — This differential housing is specifically designed for X-Series Traxxas vehicles, with confirmed compatibility for the X-Maxx (Belted 4WD Brushless RTR 8S Monster Truck in orange, blue, red, and green variants), X-Maxx Ultimate (in blue and green X variants), X-Monster chassis, and XRT models including the XRT VXL-8S (available in green, black, blue, and orange) and XRT Ultimate (in blue and green X variants). It fits both front and rear positions, offering flexibility for your upgrade needs.
• Why upgrade to an aluminium differential housing? — Upgrading to a high-quality aluminium differential housing significantly improves the durability and performance of your RC vehicle's drivetrain. The 6061-T6 aluminium provides superior strength compared to standard plastic housings, resists damage from impacts during aggressive bashing sessions, and maintains dimensional accuracy over extended use. The precision engineering ensures your differential operates smoothly and reliably, which is especially important when driving high-performance brushless RC vehicles that demand precise drivetrain functionality.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — Whilst this differential housing is a performance upgrade rather than a beginner component, it's suitable for anyone looking to improve their RC vehicle's reliability and durability. If you're already running a Traxxas X-Series vehicle and want to strengthen your drivetrain or replace a worn component, this is an excellent choice. However, beginners should first become comfortable with basic RC operation before tackling drivetrain upgrades.
• How does the anodised finish protect the aluminium? — The anodised finish creates a hard, protective oxide layer on the aluminium surface that prevents corrosion and oxidation. This is particularly important for RC vehicles that encounter mud, water, and salt exposure during outdoor use. The brilliant anodised green finish not only looks stunning but actively protects your investment by preventing the underlying aluminium from deteriorating, ensuring your differential housing maintains both its appearance and structural integrity for years of reliable service.
• Can I use this on both front and rear differentials? — Yes, this is one of the key advantages of this component. The design is universal for front or rear mounting, allowing you to use a single part number for either position on your vehicle. This versatility makes it convenient for upgrades or repairs, as you won't need to stock separate front and rear versions.
• What is the difference between this and plastic differential housings? — Aluminium differential housings like this Traxxas component offer several advantages over plastic alternatives: they provide superior strength and impact resistance, maintain precision alignment under high-stress conditions, dissipate heat more effectively, resist damage from aggressive driving, and maintain their dimensional accuracy over extended use. The 6061-T6 aluminium construction means this housing can withstand the demands of high-performance brushless RC trucks far better than plastic variants, making it an investment in long-term reliability.
