Key Features
- Metal Construction — This centre differential set is manufactured from premium metal materials rather than plastic, providing significantly enhanced durability, resistance to wear, and longevity under the high-stress demands of nitro RC racing. Metal components maintain their tolerances better over extended use and withstand repeated stress cycles that would compromise plastic alternatives.
- 2-Speed Differential Configuration — The 2-speed design allows drivers to switch between two different lock-up settings, optimising differential behaviour for various track surfaces, weather conditions and driving styles. This adjustability makes the centre diff more versatile and enables fine-tuning of vehicle handling characteristics to suit specific racing scenarios.
- Direct HoBao Factory Component — As an authentic HoBao spare part (model number H90090), this centre diff set is manufactured to original equipment specifications and guarantees perfect compatibility with HoBao Hyper GTS nitro RC cars. Using genuine factory parts ensures optimal performance and reliability compared to third-party alternatives.
- Competitive Racing Performance — Designed specifically for racers who demand precision handling and predictable traction control, this centre differential upgrade is ideal for competitive nitro RC buggy and truggy racing where differential performance directly impacts lap times and cornering stability.
- Easy Installation — As a direct replacement component for HoBao Hyper GTS models, installation requires only standard RC tools and basic mechanical knowledge, making this upgrade accessible to experienced RC enthusiasts without requiring professional service.
