Overview
The Traxxas Gear Set, Differential (spider gears (4 pcs), spider gear shaft (2 pcs)) TRX8682 is an essential replacement and upgrade component designed specifically for the Traxxas E-Revo 2.0, one of the most popular high-performance electric RC vehicles available in the UK. Whether you're a seasoned RC enthusiast running your machine hard on the track or a weekend basher pushing your car to its limits, differential gears are critical components that will eventually require replacement due to normal wear and tear from intense driving. This genuine Traxxas spare part ensures you maintain the exact performance characteristics and reliability that your E-Revo 2.0 was engineered to deliver.
The differential system in any high-performance RC car is responsible for allowing the drive wheels to rotate at different speeds during cornering whilst still maintaining traction and power delivery. The spider gears within the differential are the hardworking components that enable this crucial function, and when they wear out or become damaged, your RC car's handling, acceleration, and overall performance will suffer noticeably. The TRX8682 gear set provides you with genuine Traxxas replacement components that are manufactured to the exact same exacting standards as the original equipment, ensuring perfect fit, durability, and performance compatibility with your E-Revo 2.0 brushless monster truck.
For RC car UK enthusiasts looking to maintain their investment and keep their Traxxas E-Revo 2.0 running at peak performance, this differential gear set is an affordable and essential spare part to have on hand. Whether you need to perform a full differential rebuild, upgrade a worn component, or simply maintain spare parts for competition or regular bashing, this Traxxas spare offers the authentic quality and reliability that serious RC drivers expect and depend on.
Key Features
- Four Spider Gears — This set includes four individual spider gears, which are the primary load-bearing components within the differential assembly that work together to distribute torque evenly to both drive wheels whilst allowing them to spin at different speeds during turning, which is essential for smooth cornering and maintaining traction throughout your driving experience.
- Two Spider Gear Shafts — The set provides two complete spider gear shafts, which are the precision-engineered axles upon which the spider gears rotate, and having replacement shafts ensures you can perform complete differential rebuilds or have spares ready for when the originals wear out from intensive RC driving.
- Genuine Traxxas OEM Parts — These are authentic Traxxas original equipment manufacturer components, meaning they are produced to the exact same specifications, tolerances, and quality standards as the parts used in new E-Revo 2.0 vehicles, guaranteeing perfect compatibility and reliability without any fitment issues or performance compromises.
- Direct E-Revo 2.0 Compatibility — This gear set is engineered specifically for the Traxxas E-Revo 2.0 platform, ensuring seamless integration with your existing differential housing and drivetrain components, with no modifications or adaptations required for installation.
- High-Performance Durability — The spider gears and shafts are manufactured from hardened materials designed to withstand the extreme forces, shock loads, and continuous stress generated by brushless motor power and aggressive driving techniques, making them suitable for both casual bashing and competitive racing applications.
- Essential Maintenance Component — Regular replacement of worn differential gears is crucial for maintaining your E-Revo 2.0's handling characteristics, acceleration response, and overall drivetrain efficiency, making this set an important part of any comprehensive maintenance programme.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Gear Set TRX8682 represents the precision engineering that Traxxas is renowned for throughout the RC car UK market and globally. The differential assembly is one of the most critical mechanical systems in any 4WD RC vehicle, particularly in high-performance brushless models like the E-Revo 2.0. The spider gears within this set are manufactured from hardened steel or equivalent high-strength materials designed to handle the tremendous torque multiplication produced by modern brushless motor systems paired with Traxxas's precision transmission gearing. Under normal driving conditions, the differential gears and shafts experience constant rotational stress, impact loads during acceleration, and torsional forces during cornering manoeuvres. The materials and manufacturing processes used in this OEM component ensure longevity and reliability even under extreme conditions. When properly installed and maintained, these replacement gears will restore your differential to factory performance specifications, ensuring smooth, responsive handling through corners and consistent power delivery to both rear wheels. The engineering behind these components reflects Traxxas's commitment to providing aftermarket support that matches the quality of their vehicles, allowing serious RC enthusiasts to maintain their equipment to the highest standards and keep their E-Revo 2.0 performing at its peak for years of enjoyment.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Why would I need to replace my differential gears? — Differential gears experience constant stress during driving and will eventually wear out, especially if you drive aggressively or competitively. Worn gears cause poor handling, reduced traction, and inconsistent power delivery. Replacement gears restore your E-Revo 2.0 to factory performance specifications and ensure smooth, responsive handling.
- Is this a complete differential kit or just replacement gears? — This is a gear set containing the spider gears and shafts only. You will need to have an existing differential housing and assembly to install these components into, or you may need additional parts if performing a complete differential rebuild. Check your vehicle's manual for a complete parts list if you're unsure.
- How difficult is it to install these differential gears? — Installing differential gears requires disassembly of the differential housing, careful removal of the old gears and shafts, and precise installation of the new components. This is a moderate-level maintenance task that requires some mechanical knowledge and the proper tools. Many RC enthusiasts perform this themselves, whilst others prefer to have a specialist RC shop handle the work. Refer to your Traxxas E-Revo 2.0 manual for detailed installation instructions.
- Will these gears work with other Traxxas models? — These components are specifically designed for the Traxxas E-Revo 2.0. Whilst some Traxxas vehicles may share similar differential designs, you should always verify compatibility with your specific vehicle model before purchasing. Using incorrect parts can result in poor fitment and performance issues.
- Are these genuine Traxxas parts or aftermarket components? — These are genuine Traxxas OEM (original equipment manufacturer) parts, manufactured to the exact same specifications as the components used in new E-Revo 2.0 vehicles. This guarantees perfect compatibility, reliability, and performance.
- How long do differential gears typically last? — The lifespan of differential gears depends heavily on driving style, vehicle maintenance, and conditions. Aggressive driving, high-powered brushless setups, and competitive use will wear gears faster than casual recreational driving. Inspect your differential regularly and replace gears when you notice excessive wear, chipping, or performance degradation.
