Overview
The Traxxas Output gears, differential (2) TRX9483 are essential replacement drivetrain components designed specifically for Traxxas Drag Slash RC vehicles. Whether you're a dedicated RC car enthusiast in the UK looking to maintain peak performance or someone new to the RC hobby who wants to keep their model running at its best, these differential output gears are a critical spare part to have on hand. The differential is one of the most vital systems in any RC car, allowing the wheels to rotate at different speeds during cornering whilst maintaining forward drive, making it essential for smooth handling and consistent performance on the track or at the bash spot.
Manufactured by Traxxas, a globally recognised leader in RC vehicles and spare parts, these output gears are engineered to exacting standards to ensure compatibility and reliability with your Drag Slash model. Available through RC Model Shop, these genuine OEM components represent the best choice for anyone serious about maintaining their RC investment. Whether you're replacing worn gears after extensive use, upgrading after a crash, or simply keeping spares in your maintenance kit, the TRX9483 offers you peace of mind that you're using authentic Traxxas parts designed and tested for your specific vehicle.
The differential output gears work in conjunction with your vehicle's differential assembly to distribute engine power efficiently to both wheels whilst allowing them independent movement. This becomes critically important when cornering at speed, as the outer wheel needs to travel further than the inner wheel. Quality differential gears ensure smooth power delivery, reduce stress on drivetrain components, and help maintain the handling characteristics that make Traxxas RC vehicles so popular amongst basher and racer alike across the UK.

- Pair of Output Gears Included — The package includes two output gears (one for each side of the differential), providing complete coverage for full differential replacement or maintenance, rather than requiring you to purchase gears separately.

- Direct Fit for Drag Slash Models — These gears are specifically designed for Traxxas Drag Slash vehicles, guaranteeing perfect fitment and performance without modification or adjustment needed during installation.

- Essential Spare Part for Regular Users — If you use your Drag Slash regularly for bashing or racing, keeping spare differential output gears in your parts kit is a sensible investment that keeps your RC car ready to run and minimises downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Why would I need replacement differential output gears for my Drag Slash RC car? — Differential output gears can wear over time with regular use, especially if you frequently drive in rough conditions or engage in intensive bashing. They can also be damaged in crashes or from impacts. When gears become worn or damaged, they can cause the differential to slip, produce noise, or lose efficiency. Replacement gears restore your differential to proper working order and ensure smooth, reliable power delivery to your wheels.
- Are these gears difficult to install myself? — Replacing differential output gears is a moderate-level maintenance task that most RC enthusiasts can undertake with basic tools and mechanical knowledge. Traxxas designs their vehicles for owner maintenance, and the differential assembly is generally straightforward to work on. If you're new to RC maintenance, there are many excellent video tutorials available online that walk you through the process step by step. If you prefer professional assistance, RC Model Shop can advise on local support or servicing options.
- How long will these gears last before needing replacement? — The lifespan of differential output gears depends on how intensively you use your RC car, the type of terrain you drive on, and how well you maintain your vehicle. Under normal conditions with regular maintenance, quality gears like these will typically last many months to over a year of regular weekend use. Harsh conditions, high-speed racing, or frequent crashes will naturally shorten gear life. Keeping your differential clean and properly lubricated helps extend the life of the gears.
- Will these fit other Traxxas models or only the Drag Slash? — These output gears are specifically designed for the Traxxas Drag Slash model and are engineered to match the specifications of that vehicle's differential system. Traxxas manufactures different differential gears for different models, so it's important to ensure you're ordering the correct part number for your specific vehicle. The model number TRX9483 is specifically for Drag Slash vehicles, so verify you have the right model before ordering.
