Overview
The ARRMA Aluminium Center Diff Holder in striking red is an essential upgrade for owners of the ARRMA 1/7 Limitless V2 Speed Bash Roller and other compatible RC vehicles. This precision-engineered component replaces the original centre differential housing, providing a lightweight yet robust solution for serious RC enthusiasts who demand performance and reliability from their speed bash machines. Whether you're a competitive racer pushing your RC car UK limits or a weekend basher looking to enhance your vehicle's durability, this aluminium centre diff holder delivers the engineering excellence ARRMA is renowned for.
Manufactured to the highest standards, this red anodised component is not just a functional upgrade—it's a visual enhancement that gives your RC model that authentic ARRMA factory appearance. The aluminium construction offers significant advantages over standard plastic alternatives, including superior heat dissipation during extreme RC action and a reduction in overall vehicle weight, both of which contribute to improved handling characteristics and sustained performance during extended driving sessions. For anyone serious about maintaining their brushless RC buggy or speed machine in peak condition, this is a genuine OEM spare part that ensures perfect compatibility and long-term reliability.
RC Model Shop stocks this exact component as part of our comprehensive range of ARRMA spares and upgrades, meaning you can source everything you need to keep your ready to run RC vehicle performing at its best. We understand that serious RC hobbyists need access to quality replacement parts quickly and reliably, which is why we maintain stock of essential components like this centre diff holder.
Key Features
- Precision Aluminium Construction — Manufactured from lightweight aluminium alloy with exact tolerances, this centre diff holder provides consistent hardware fit and reduces overall vehicle weight compared to plastic alternatives, directly improving acceleration and handling performance on the track or in the bash arena.
- Anodised Red Finish — The durable anodised coating provides both aesthetic appeal with authentic ARRMA styling and enhanced corrosion resistance, ensuring the component maintains its appearance and structural integrity through countless hours of use in various weather conditions.
- Excellent Heat Dissipation — Unlike plastic components, the aluminium material actively dissipates heat generated during extreme RC action, protecting internal drivetrain components and extending the lifespan of your transmission during high-performance driving sessions.
- Machined Mounting Holes — Precision-machined mounting holes ensure accurate positioning of your vehicle's transmission components, eliminating alignment issues that can cause uneven wear, noise, and performance degradation.
- OEM Quality Assurance — As a genuine ARRMA spare part, this centre diff holder meets factory specifications and quality standards, ensuring complete compatibility with your Limitless V2 Speed Bash Roller or other supported models without modification or fitment issues.
- Easy Installation — Designed specifically for the ARRMA Limitless V2 platform, installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC maintenance knowledge, making this an accessible upgrade for both experienced builders and those new to RC car UK hobbies.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Aluminium Center Diff Holder represents a significant step up from the plastic centre differential housing found on stock vehicles. The material choice is critical to RC vehicle performance: aluminium offers superior stiffness compared to plastic whilst remaining significantly lighter than steel or brass alternatives. This balance of weight reduction and increased rigidity directly translates to improved cornering performance, better weight distribution, and more predictable handling characteristics during high-speed manoeuvres. The anodised red finish provides not just visual appeal but also protection against oxidation and corrosion, essential for vehicles regularly exposed to moisture, salt spray from beach driving, or winter conditions in the UK. The precision-machined mounting holes ensure that transmission components align perfectly, eliminating play and backlash that would otherwise compromise drivetrain efficiency. When combined with compatible motor plates—available for motors up to 40mm diameter with 25mm mounting pitch (ARA320665), up to 50mm diameter with 25mm pitch (ARA320721), or up to 56mm diameter with 30mm pitch (ARA320722)—this centre diff holder creates a platform for flexible motor upgrades and customisation. The engineering philosophy behind this component emphasises reliability and longevity; by distributing heat more effectively than plastic alternatives, the aluminium construction reduces thermal stress on internal gears and bearings, directly extending component lifespan during sustained high-performance driving.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the ARRMA Aluminium Center Diff Holder compatible with my Limitless V2? — Yes, this component is specifically designed for the ARRMA 1/7 Limitless V2 Speed Bash Roller and is listed under model code C-ARA7116V2. Always verify your vehicle's exact model before purchase to ensure compatibility with your specific RC model.
- What are the advantages of aluminium over plastic for a centre diff holder? — Aluminium offers several key benefits: superior heat dissipation during extreme RC action, which protects internal components and extends drivetrain lifespan; lightweight construction that improves vehicle acceleration and handling; greater rigidity that eliminates flex and improves precision of component alignment; and enhanced durability for long-term use without deformation under stress.
- Will this component work with any brushless motor? — This centre diff holder works with motors up to specific size parameters, determined by which motor plate you select. The three available motor plate options support motors up to 40mm diameter with 25mm pitch, up to 50mm diameter with 25mm pitch, or up to 56mm diameter with 30mm pitch. Most standard 1/7 scale RC brushless motors fall within these parameters, but always verify your motor specifications before purchase.
- How difficult is it to install the aluminium centre diff holder? — Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC maintenance knowledge. The component bolts directly to your Limitless V2 frame using standard hex bolts and the precision-machined holes ensure correct alignment. If you've performed basic RC servicing before, you'll find installation accessible; if not, we recommend consulting the ARRMA manual or watching installation guides specific to the Limitless V2 platform.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Whilst this is a genuine OEM spare part suitable for any Limitless V2 owner, it's primarily a replacement component rather than a beginner-focused product. If your centre diff holder is damaged or you're looking to upgrade from plastic to aluminium, this is an excellent choice; however, beginners should ensure they have the necessary mechanical knowledge or access to installation guides before purchasing.
- What is the difference between this aluminium holder and the stock plastic version? — The stock Limitless V2 typically features a plastic centre diff holder. This ARRMA aluminium upgrade provides superior heat dissipation, reduced weight, greater structural rigidity, and enhanced durability during extreme bashng and competition driving. The anodised red finish also provides better corrosion resistance and a more professional appearance.
- Does this component work with my existing drivetrain? — The centre diff holder is designed to house your existing differential gears and works with standard ARRMA transmission components. However, you will need to pair it with one of the three available motor plates depending on your specific brushless motor size to complete the assembly and ensure proper motor mounting and alignment.
