Overview
The ARRMA Center Diff Gear Spacer is an essential drivetrain component for maintaining optimal differential performance in your 1/5 scale RC model. These precision-engineered spacers are specifically designed for ARRMA's high-performance 1/5 scale vehicles, ensuring smooth gear engagement and reliable power delivery. Whether you're a dedicated RC enthusiast enjoying weekend bashing sessions or a competitive racer pushing your brushless RC truck to the limit, having quality replacement parts like centre diff spacers on hand is crucial for keeping your vehicle running at peak performance.
Differential spacers play a vital role in the drivetrain assembly, controlling gear clearances and ensuring that power is distributed evenly across all drive wheels. Over time, spacers can wear or become damaged through normal use, particularly in high-performance 1/5 scale RC applications where torque levels and speeds place considerable stress on drivetrain components. The ARRMA Center Diff Gear Spacer provides an authentic replacement option that restores your vehicle to factory specifications and maintains the precise engineering tolerances that ARRMA builds into their RC cars and trucks.
If you're looking for genuine ARRMA spare parts in the UK, this centre diff spacer represents excellent value for serious RC hobbyists who understand the importance of maintaining their equipment with authentic components rather than inferior aftermarket alternatives. This is the ideal solution for RC model owners who want to keep their 1/5 scale ARRMA vehicles performing as intended.

Technical Performance
The ARRMA Center Diff Gear Spacer is engineered to exacting standards that match the performance capabilities of modern 1/5 scale brushless RC vehicles. In 1/5 scale applications, centre differential spacers are critical components that maintain precise gear mesh and control the mechanical advantage between the input shaft and output shafts. The spacer's thickness and material composition directly affect how smoothly power flows through the differential assembly, which is particularly important in high-torque brushless RC truck applications where drivetrain reliability can determine whether you complete a run successfully or suffer a mechanical failure. ARRMA's engineering ensures that these spacers integrate seamlessly with the rest of the drivetrain assembly, maintaining the exact clearances needed for optimal performance. This component is designed to work specifically with ARRMA 1/5 scale models, ensuring compatibility with the larger scale components and more powerful motors typical of this vehicle class.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a centre diff gear spacer and why do I need one? — A centre differential spacer is a precision component that maintains exact clearances between gears within the centre differential assembly. It controls how tightly the gears mesh together and ensures smooth power delivery from your motor to the wheels. Over time, spacers can wear out or become damaged, requiring replacement. Having spare spacers on hand allows you to maintain your 1/5 scale ARRMA vehicle properly and keep it performing at factory specifications.
- Which ARRMA vehicles are compatible with this centre diff spacer? — This spacer is designed for ARRMA 1/5 scale models, including the Outcast 4X4 8S BLX EXB Brushless Stunt Truck and similar 1/5 scale ARRMA vehicles. Before purchasing, verify your specific model number against the compatibility information provided to ensure proper fit.
- Do I need special tools to install these spacers? — Installing centre diff spacers typically requires disassembly of the centre differential assembly, which is a straightforward task for most RC enthusiasts with basic mechanical knowledge and standard RC tools. If you're unfamiliar with differential servicing, many RC hobby shops in the UK offer installation services.
- How often should I replace my centre diff spacers? — Spacer replacement depends on usage intensity and driving conditions. Weekend bashers might change them annually, while competitive racers may inspect and replace them more frequently. Regular inspection during routine maintenance helps identify wear before problems develop.
- Is this pack sufficient for complete differential servicing? — This pack contains two spacers. Depending on your specific ARRMA model's differential design, you may need additional spacers for a complete centre differential rebuild. Check your vehicle's manual or contact RC Model Shop to confirm the total number required for your particular model.
