Technical Performance
The Team Associated TC7.2 Gear Diff Case represents genuine OEM engineering applied to one of the most critical components of your 1/10-scale touring car's drivetrain. The aluminium construction provides measurable advantages over plastic alternatives commonly found in budget spare parts. Aluminium's superior thermal conductivity helps dissipate the heat generated during differential operation, maintaining optimal oil viscosity and reducing wear on internal gear components during extended running sessions. This becomes particularly important when running at high speeds or in competitive track conditions where differential temperature can rise significantly. The precision-engineered aluminium housing maintains exact concentricity with your differential gears, ensuring smooth engagement and eliminating the play or deflection that can develop in plastic cases over time. For RC touring car enthusiasts across the UK who demand reliability and performance, this genuine Associated component represents an investment in your vehicle's longevity and consistent on-track performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this the correct diff case for my Team Associated TC7.2? — Yes, this is a genuine OEM-specification aluminium gear diff case manufactured by Team Associated specifically for the TC7.2 platform. Part number AS31783 is the correct component for your touring car's differential assembly.
- What is the advantage of an aluminium diff case over plastic? — Aluminium offers superior heat dissipation, which helps maintain optimal oil temperature and viscosity during running, resulting in better differential performance and longer component lifespan. Aluminium also provides better structural rigidity, eliminating the flexing or play that can develop in plastic cases over extended use.
- Do I need any tools or special knowledge to install this diff case? — Installation of a differential housing requires disassembling your current differential, transferring the internal gears and components to the new case, and reassembling with proper differential oil. If you're experienced with RC car maintenance, you can perform this yourself; otherwise, we recommend consulting your vehicle manual or seeking assistance from experienced RC enthusiasts.
- Is this a genuine Team Associated part or a third-party alternative? — This is a genuine Team Associated manufactured component, not an aftermarket alternative. When you purchase from RC Model Shop, you're guaranteed authentic OEM parts with full compatibility and the quality standards you expect from Associated.

This aluminium case serves as either a like-for-like OEM replacement for a damaged case or as an upgrade from plastic alternatives. Simply transfer your existing differential components into the new case and reassemble according to your TC7.2 manual.
- What maintenance does my differential require after installing this new case? — After installation, ensure you use quality differential oil appropriate for your running conditions (typically 50,000 cSt to 100,000 cSt for touring cars). Change the oil periodically depending on running frequency, and keep the differential clean from dirt and debris to maintain smooth operation.
