This high-quality 43T Spiral Main Diff Gear is the perfect part to carry in your RC tool box.
Overview
The ARRMA Diff Gear Main 43T Spiral (Z-AR310497) is an essential replacement differential gear for serious RC enthusiasts and competitive drivers in the UK. Whether you're running an ARRMA MOJAVE 6S V2 BLX or upgrading your drivetrain, this precision-engineered component is the perfect part to carry in your RC tool box for emergency repairs or preventative maintenance on the track or at the bash site. Differential gears are critical components in any RC car, buggy or truck, responsible for transferring power smoothly from the motor to the wheels whilst allowing independent wheel rotation during cornering.
Built from super-tough steel, this 43-tooth spiral main diff gear has been manufactured to the exacting standards that ARRMA is recognised for across the RC hobby world. The spiral tooth design offers superior performance compared to straight-cut alternatives, delivering smoother power delivery and reduced noise during operation. This is a genuine ARRMA spare part, not an aftermarket alternative, ensuring perfect compatibility and reliability with your model.
For RC car enthusiasts in the UK who demand nothing but the best performance from their vehicles, investing in genuine OEM spare parts like this differential gear ensures your RC remains in peak condition. Whether you're a weekend basher enjoying outdoor RC adventures or a competitive racer pushing your machine to the limit, maintaining your drivetrain with quality components is essential for consistent performance and longevity.
Key Features
- Super-tough steel construction — Manufactured from premium-grade steel, this differential gear is engineered to withstand the extreme stresses and impacts of serious RC driving, delivering long-lasting durability and reduced wear even in the most demanding conditions.
- Precision-manufactured teeth — Every tooth on this 43T spiral gear has been precisely cut and finished to exacting tolerances, ensuring smooth and reliable power transfer from your motor to the drivetrain without slippage, vibration or grinding noise.
- Spiral tooth design — Unlike straight-cut differential gears, the spiral tooth configuration provides superior meshing characteristics, resulting in quieter operation, smoother acceleration and more efficient power delivery to your wheels.
- OEM ARRMA part — This is a genuine manufacturer spare part, not a third-party aftermarket clone, guaranteeing perfect fit and compatibility with all supported ARRMA models.
- Essential backup component — Every serious RC enthusiast should carry spare drivetrain parts like differential gears; this allows you to get back on the track quickly if damage occurs during intense driving sessions.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Diff Gear Main 43T Spiral represents precision engineering at its finest for the RC hobby. At 43 teeth, this main differential gear is specifically designed for ARRMA's 6S brushless platform, delivering the optimal balance between acceleration and top speed for models like the MOJAVE 6S V2 BLX. The spiral tooth geometry is critical to performance; unlike conventional spur gears with straight teeth that can cause sudden mesh and backlash, spiral teeth engage progressively and smoothly, distributing load more evenly across multiple teeth simultaneously. This results in dramatically reduced noise, less mechanical stress on neighbouring components, and superior efficiency in power delivery. The super-tough steel material specification means this gear can handle continuous high-torque applications without stripping or wearing prematurely, even when running on high-performance brushless systems with significant motor output. The precision manufacturing tolerances ensure that each tooth is perfectly formed, allowing mesh with pinion gears without play or wobble. This is the exact component your ARRMA model came with from the factory, making it the ideal replacement when wear or damage occurs to your original differential gear.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this differential gear compatible with my ARRMA RC model? — Yes, this Z-AR310497 main differential gear is specifically designed for ARRMA MOJAVE 6S V2 BLX models in both Red/Black and Green/Black colour variants. Check your model number against the compatibility list to confirm fit. If you're unsure, contact our team of experienced RC enthusiasts at RC Model Shop who can verify compatibility with your specific vehicle.
- What is a differential gear and why do I need one? — The differential gear is a critical component in your RC car's drivetrain that allows the front and rear wheels to rotate at different speeds when cornering, whilst still receiving driving power from the motor. Without a properly functioning differential with intact teeth, your RC will experience poor handling, increased tyre wear, and transmission noise. The 43-tooth configuration in this part is optimised for acceleration and speed control on the MOJAVE 6S V2.
- What's the difference between spiral and straight-cut differential gears? — Spiral-cut differential gears, like this one, have teeth angled at an angle to the axis of rotation. This design provides smoother engagement, quieter operation, and more efficient power transfer compared to straight-cut gears which have teeth parallel to the rotation axis. Spiral gears also experience less shock when teeth mesh, resulting in greater durability and longer service life.
- How often should I replace my differential gear? — Under normal RC driving conditions, a quality differential gear like this should last through many seasons of bashing or racing. However, you should inspect your differential regularly for signs of tooth wear or stripping, particularly if you notice noise from the drivetrain or inconsistent wheel rotation. Keep a spare in your RC tool box for emergencies.
- Is this suitable for both beginners and experienced RC drivers? — This is a replacement spare part rather than a complete ready-to-run RC car, so it's intended for anyone who already owns an ARRMA MOJAVE 6S V2 BLX and understands basic RC maintenance. If you're new to the hobby and need a complete RC car to get started, RC Model Shop can help you find the perfect ready-to-run option.
