Key Features
- Tough Composite Material — The centre diff gear cover and mount are manufactured from durable composite material that delivers long-lasting durability and consistent fit and removal, meaning you won't experience stripped threads, loose connections, or parts that wear out prematurely even with frequent maintenance cycles.
- Moulded ARRMA Livery — Each component features moulded ARRMA branding that not only gives your RC monster truck cool looks and aesthetic appeal, but also provides quality assurance and confirms you're purchasing genuine ARRMA spare parts from an authorised retailer.
- Perfect Fitment — This centre diff gear cover set is engineered to fit the ARRMA 1/8 KRATON 6S EXB 4X4 RTR Speed Monster Truck with absolute precision, ensuring the components sit flush, function properly, and maintain the integrity of your differential assembly during high-speed runs and aggressive cornering.
- Complete Replacement Set — The package includes both the centre diff mount and the gear cover itself, giving you everything needed to perform a full centre differential cover replacement without sourcing additional parts from multiple suppliers.
- Maintenance Essential — Keeping spare differential covers in your RC toolkit is essential for serious hobbyists, allowing you to maintain your truck's performance and extend the service life of your drivetrain components.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Centre Diff Gear Cover Z-ARA311188 is engineered to withstand the demands of high-performance 4WD RC monster truck operation. The composite material construction provides an excellent balance between weight savings and durability, ensuring minimal stress on the differential gears whilst remaining robust enough to survive impacts, crashes, and the vibrations associated with aggressive off-road bashing. The centre differential is one of the most critical components in a 4WD RC vehicle, as it distributes engine torque between the front and rear axles whilst allowing them to rotate at different speeds during cornering. By replacing worn or damaged gear covers promptly, you maintain proper engagement and prevent debris ingress that could compromise performance. The moulded design ensures consistent fit tolerances, meaning the cover seats properly against the differential housing and provides adequate protection to internal mechanisms. For the KRATON 6S EXB platform, which is capable of impressive speeds and acceleration thanks to its brushless 6S LiPo compatibility, maintaining pristine differential components is non-negotiable for reliability. Regular inspection and timely replacement of worn parts like this centre diff cover set will keep your RC car UK investment performing at factory specifications for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the ARRMA Centre Diff Gear Cover Z-ARA311188 compatible with my RC monster truck? — This centre diff gear cover set is specifically engineered for the ARRMA 1/8 KRATON 6S EXB 4X4 RTR Speed Monster Truck (model C-ARA8708V6T1). Whilst ARRMA shares many design principles across their vehicle range, differential components are model-specific, so always verify compatibility before ordering to ensure perfect fitment and function.
- Why do I need a replacement centre diff gear cover? — The centre differential gear cover protects internal gearing mechanisms from debris, moisture, and damage whilst containing lubricant. During regular use and aggressive bashing, these composite covers can crack, strip, or wear. Replacing a damaged cover is far more economical than replacing the entire differential assembly, and it restores your truck's performance and reliability to factory specifications.
- How often should I replace my centre diff gear cover? — There is no fixed replacement interval; the centre diff cover should be replaced whenever it becomes visibly cracked, broken, or loose. Inspect your differential covers regularly after bashing sessions. High-competition users might keep spares on hand for quick field repairs, whilst casual weekend bashers may only need replacements every few years depending on usage intensity and crash frequency.
- Will this improve the performance of my KRATON 6S EXB? — A new centre diff gear cover itself won't directly increase speed or acceleration, but it will restore your truck to optimal factory performance by ensuring the differential operates correctly. A damaged or worn cover can allow debris ingress or cause misalignment, which reduces efficiency. By maintaining components like this, you preserve the inherent performance potential of your brushless RC monster truck.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, replacing a centre diff gear cover is one of the simpler maintenance tasks you can perform on your RC car UK. The components simply mount to the differential housing with minimal fasteners. If you're new to RC maintenance, this is an excellent project to start with, and having spare parts like this on hand demonstrates responsible ownership of your vehicle.
- What tools do I need to replace the centre diff gear cover? — Replacement typically requires only basic hex key tools to remove the fastening screws. Consult your KRATON 6S EXB instruction manual for the specific tool sizes and torque specifications. You may also want to have fresh differential lubricant available to ensure proper assembly and smooth operation after installation.
