Available now at RC Model Shop, your trusted UK RC retailer, the Oxer Diff Guard comes as a complete kit with both front and rear guards plus all necessary fasteners. This is one of those smart upgrades that serious RC enthusiasts add to their builds because the investment in protection pays for itself the first time it prevents damage during a heavy impact or rough terrain encounter.

Key Features

• Genuine RC4WD Component — This is an official RC4WD part (VVV-C1513), manufactured to the brand's exacting standards, ensuring perfect compatibility and fitment with your Yota 2 axle setup. Genuine parts are always your safest choice for reliability and durability.
• 3D Printed in Aluminium Design — The guard utilises advanced aluminium 3D printing technology, which provides an optimal balance between strength and lightweight construction. Aluminium is renowned for its excellent impact resistance and durability whilst keeping weight to a minimum, which is critical for maintaining your RC car's performance characteristics.
• Tight-Fit Design — Engineered with precision tolerances, the guard fits snugly around your differential housing without unnecessary gaps or loose movement. This tight fit ensures maximum protection and a professional appearance that looks like an integral part of your axle rather than an awkward aftermarket addition.
• Protective Differential Housing Shield — The primary function of this guard is to shield the differential housing from knocks, impacts and abrasion that occur during trail running and off-road use. The differential is an expensive, precision component, and protecting it from damage is a cost-effective way to avoid repair bills.
• Includes Front and Rear Guards — This package delivers both a front and rear diff guard, so you get complete protection across your entire Yota 2 axle setup with a single purchase. This is more economical and convenient than buying guards separately.
• Complete Hardware Included — The kit comes with 10 M2 x 10mm steel socket head cap screws (RC4WD part Z-S0849), giving you all the fasteners you need for installation. No hunting for obscure hardware sizes – everything you need is in the box.
• Lightweight at Only 19.5g — With a total weight of just 0.68oz (19.5g) for the complete set, these guards add negligible weight to your axle assembly, meaning they won't compromise your RC car's handling, acceleration or battery runtime.

Technical Performance

The Oxer Diff Guard represents thoughtful engineering applied to a specific protection need. Manufactured using 3D printing technology in aluminium, the guards combine the strength needed to absorb impacts and shield from abrasion with the precision fitment that RC enthusiasts demand. The aluminium material choice is significant – it's substantially stronger than plastic alternatives whilst remaining lightweight enough that the 19.5g total weight has negligible impact on your vehicle's overall mass and performance. The tight-fit design means the guards sit flush against the differential housing, providing comprehensive coverage without rattling or shifting during use. The inclusion of stainless steel socket head cap screws (M2 x 10mm) ensures secure attachment and longevity; socket head cap screws are far superior to standard fasteners as they provide better grip and are less prone to stripping. For RC enthusiasts running their vehicles on challenging terrain – whether that's rocky trail courses, sandy washes, or technical crawling obstacles – these guards act as a first line of defence, absorbing punishment that would otherwise damage the expensive cast metal differential housings on your RC4WD Yota II axles. The front and rear pairing ensures balanced protection across your entire drivetrain.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will the Oxer Diff Guard fit my RC4WD Yota 2 axle? — Yes, provided you own one of the compatible models listed above. The guard is specifically engineered for the Yota II Ultimate Scale Cast Axle series (both standard and Chrome versions, both front V2 and rear configurations). However, we always recommend checking clearances and fastener compatibility on your specific vehicle before installation. If you're unsure about compatibility with your exact setup, contact our team at RC Model Shop and we'll be happy to clarify.
• What is the purpose of a differential guard? — The differential is one of the most critical and expensive components in your RC car's drivetrain. During off-road trail running and rough terrain use, the differential housing is constantly exposed to impacts from rocks, roots, curbs and other obstacles. A diff guard absorbs these impacts and protects against abrasion, preventing expensive damage repairs. For anyone regularly using their RC car for trail work, this is a smart preventative investment.
• Is installation difficult? — Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC experience. The guards mount to your existing axle housing using the included M2 x 10mm socket head cap screws. You'll need a small hex key (Allen wrench) to tighten the fasteners. The tight-fit design means the guards align easily without excessive fiddling. If you're familiar with basic RC maintenance and upgrades, you'll have these installed in minutes.
• Will adding these guards affect my RC car's performance? — No, not measurably. At just 19.5g total weight for both guards, they add negligible mass to your axle assembly. This minimal weight addition will have no discernible impact on your vehicle's handling, acceleration, top speed or battery runtime. The guards are designed to sit flush against the housing, so they don't create aerodynamic drag or interfere with suspension movement.
• Are these genuine RC4WD parts? — Yes, absolutely. These are official RC4WD components (part number VVV-C1513) manufactured by RC4WD. When you purchase from RC Model Shop, you're buying authentic OEM (original equipment manufacturer) parts with full RC4WD backing. Genuine parts ensure perfect fitment, superior quality and reliability.
• Can I use these guards on other axle brands? — No, these are specifically engineered for RC4WD Yota II axles. While they might physically fit on some other similarly-sized axles, we cannot guarantee fitment or function. For best results and to avoid fitment issues, use them only with the compatible axle models listed above.
