In its latest Kyosho MP11 option parts release, T-Works has added these 7075-T6 Aluminium Centre Diff Lower Mounts. With a blackened finish and refined bevel design, it features high torsion resistance and firmly locks the centre differential and CVD drive shafts for improved transmission accuracy. Its structural design conducts heat directly from the centre differential to the chassis base for rapid heat dissipation and effectively lowers the operating temperature of the centre differential. Stainless steel gaskets replace the original plastic versions, distributing screw locking pressure to prevent chassis deformation, ideal for gear replacement and assembly.
