Key Features
- 47-Tooth Differential Gear — The large-diameter diff gear is the central component that distributes engine power to both rear wheels whilst allowing them to rotate at different speeds during turns, which is essential for maintaining traction and reducing tyre scrub on cornering.
- 12-Tooth Pinion Gear — This small, high-precision pinion pairs with the differential to create your overall gear ratio, directly affecting acceleration, top speed and torque delivery characteristics of your RC model.
- Losi Genuine Component — As original equipment manufacturer parts, these gears are precision-engineered to exact Losi specifications, ensuring perfect mesh, durability and performance matching that of your original factory setup.
- Compatible with Losi 8 and 8T RTR — Specifically designed for the popular Losi 8 and 8T ready to run models, ensuring perfect fitment and seamless integration into your existing drivetrain without modification.
- Drivetrain Durability — Quality gear materials and manufacturing ensure these components withstand the stresses of aggressive driving, high-speed bashing and competitive racing without premature wear or breakage.
Technical Performance
The rear differential gear and pinion system forms the heart of your Losi 8 or 8T RTR's power delivery architecture. The 47-tooth differential gear works in conjunction with the 12-tooth pinion to establish your vehicle's final drive ratio, influencing everything from launch acceleration to top-end speed capability and overall powertrain efficiency. These are genuine Losi components manufactured to factory specifications using appropriate materials and precision engineering techniques that ensure smooth operation, minimal backlash and extended service life. The gears are designed to handle the torque loads generated by the Losi 8 and 8T platforms, whether you're running them in stock configuration or with upgraded motors and batteries. Proper gear mesh and engagement are critical to achieving silent, efficient power transfer and maintaining the responsive handling characteristics Losi vehicles are known for. Regular inspection and maintenance of these drivetrain components helps identify wear patterns early, preventing catastrophic failure and keeping your RC model performing at peak efficiency.
