Key Features
- Genuine Traxxas Engineering — This is an authentic Traxxas OEM component manufactured to the exact specifications required for E-Revo, E-Revo Brushless Edition and Summit models, ensuring perfect fitment and reliable performance compared to third-party alternatives.
- Centre Differential Configuration — The centre differential is the heart of your RC car's drivetrain, and this output assembly is precision-engineered to manage power distribution smoothly and efficiently between front and rear axles.
- Front or Rear Compatibility — This universal differential output can be used in either the front or rear position on your model, providing flexibility for maintenance, repairs and customisation of your setup.
- Excludes Rear Brake Kit — This component comes without the rear brake kit (part TRX5417), allowing you to source this separately if needed or use with existing brake components you already have in your spares collection.
- Drop-in Replacement Design — Installation follows standard Traxxas design principles with clear removal and reassembly procedures, making this suitable for experienced builders and those upgrading existing models.
- Critical Drivetrain Component — As the output assembly connects your transmission to your RC car's drive shafts and wheels, maintaining this component in top condition is essential for optimal handling and performance consistency.
Technical Performance
The differential output is a precision-engineered drivetrain component that sits at the core of your E-Revo, E-Revo Brushless Edition or Summit's power delivery system. Manufactured from durable materials selected for their strength and reliability, this output assembly must handle the tremendous forces generated during acceleration, cornering and landing from jumps. The design integrates seamlessly with Traxxas's proven differential system, which has become the benchmark for performance in the RC car UK market. The output shaft slots into the bulkhead assembly and connects directly to the drive shafts via 15mm screw pins, creating a solid mechanical bond that transmits power without slippage or deflection. Whether you're running a brushless motor system producing significant power output or maintaining a brushed setup, this differential output is engineered to manage the load efficiently. The centre differential configuration allows independent speed variation between axles, which is crucial for maintaining traction during cornering on varied terrain. Quality control and precision manufacturing mean that this component will integrate perfectly with your existing drivetrain without requiring modification or adjustment, delivering the reliability that Traxxas owners have come to expect from genuine OEM parts.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What models is this differential output compatible with? — This TRX5416 differential output is specifically designed for Traxxas E-Revo, E-Revo Brushless Edition and Summit RC models. It serves as the centre differential output and can be installed in either the front or rear position depending on your setup requirements and maintenance needs.
- How do I know if I need to replace my differential output? — Signs that your differential output may need replacement include grinding noises from the drivetrain, loss of power transmission to the wheels, visible damage to the output shaft or slots, or if you're rebuilding your differential assembly as part of routine maintenance on a heavily-used model.
- Is this a difficult component to install? — Installation requires mechanical knowledge and basic tools including 2.0mm and 2.5mm hex wrenches, small needle nose pliers and various socket sizes. Traxxas provides detailed removal and installation instructions that walk you through the process step-by-step, though experience with RC car maintenance is helpful. The component must align with slots moulded into the bulkhead and connect to drive shafts via 15mm screw pins.
- Does this include the rear brake kit? — No, this version (TRX5416) comes without the rear brake kit. If you require the brake kit, you should look at part number TRX5417 which includes both the differential output and the rear brake kit assembly as a complete package.
- Why would I choose this component over aftermarket alternatives? — As the genuine Traxxas OEM part, this differential output is engineered specifically for your model and guaranteed to fit and function correctly. Traxxas invests heavily in research and development to ensure perfect integration with all other drivetrain components, providing reliability that aftermarket parts simply cannot match. Using genuine parts also maintains your vehicle's warranty and ensures consistent performance.
- What tools do I need to install this? — You'll need a 2.0mm hex wrench, 2.5mm hex wrench, small needle nose pliers, and various socket sizes to remove body mounts, bulkhead fasteners and drive shaft connections. A comprehensive tool set designed for RC car maintenance will cover all requirements.
