Overview
The Team Associated RC28R Gear Differential Set (AS21642) is an official spare part designed to keep your RC28R running at peak performance. Whether you're a dedicated racer, weekend basher, or RC car enthusiast in the UK, maintaining your vehicle's drivetrain is essential for consistent handling and smooth power delivery. This genuine Team Associated component is the perfect solution when your original differential shows signs of wear or requires routine maintenance during servicing.
If you own an RC28 Team Kit, you'll appreciate the importance of having authentic replacement parts on hand. The differential is a critical component of your RC car's drivetrain system, responsible for distributing engine power to the wheels whilst allowing them to rotate at different speeds during cornering. Over time, differentials can wear and lose their effectiveness, leading to unpredictable handling characteristics and reduced performance on the track or off-road terrain. This official Team Associated gear differential set restores that smooth operation and ensures your RC28R maintains the precision handling you expect from a quality race-spec vehicle.
As an authorised Team Associated retailer, RC Model Shop stocks only genuine parts to ensure your RC28R receives the quality it deserves. This replacement differential set is ideal for competitive racers who demand reliability, casual hobbyists performing regular maintenance, and anyone looking to restore their RC28R to like-new condition. Keep your RC car UK investment in top shape with this essential spare part.
