TLR 22-series aluminium gear differential set

Team Losi Racing’s new gear differential for the 2WD 22-series of vehicles has been designed to drop right into the 22-series transmission cases, so there is no need hand-fit, modify or alter the car to make it fit. Besides providing improved performance on all types of surfaces, the gear diff can be accurately and consistently tuned using diff fluid. The case is machined from 7075-T6 aluminium to balance out weight, durability and performance. The unit is compatible with all 22-series buggies and trucks, and it can be used with 3-gear, 4-gear and laydown transmission cases.
