Overview
The Traxxas Hardened Steel Center Differential Output Gears (2) TRX6782X represent a premium drivetrain upgrade for serious RC enthusiasts in the UK who demand maximum durability and performance from their vehicles. These heavy-duty replacement gears are engineered to withstand the extreme stresses of high-performance RC driving, whether you're bashing at speed or competing on the track. If you own a compatible Traxxas model and want to elevate your centre differential performance, these hardened steel gears deliver the strength and reliability that discerning RC car UK drivers expect.
Built with hardened steel construction, these centre differential output gears are specifically designed to replace worn or damaged components in your RC vehicle's drivetrain. The upgrade path from standard components to hardened steel versions is a recognised performance modification throughout the RC hobby, delivering noticeably improved durability during aggressive driving. Whether you're running a ready to run RC or a competition-grade machine, having a robust centre differential system is crucial for consistent performance and longevity.
These gears work seamlessly with standard centre driveshafts or can be paired with the upgraded 9655X hardened steel centre CV driveshafts for maximum drivetrain reinforcement. The inclusion of 2.5x12 mm drive pins ensures complete compatibility and straightforward installation. Available as a pair, these gears provide the redundancy you need for demanding RC sessions without worrying about component failure.
Key Features
- Hardened Steel Construction — Manufactured from hardened steel rather than standard materials, these gears offer significantly greater strength and wear resistance, ensuring they withstand the extreme forces generated during high-speed driving, jumps, and aggressive cornering without stripping or deforming.
- Centre Differential Output Gears — Specifically engineered as centre differential components, these gears are critical for proper power distribution across your RC vehicle's drivetrain, ensuring balanced traction and handling performance in all driving conditions.
- Sold in Pairs — The package includes two complete gears, providing you with everything needed for a full centre differential service or upgrade, and giving you a spare pair for backup during intensive driving sessions.
- Compatible with Standard and Upgraded Driveshafts — These gears work with both standard centre driveshafts and the premium 9655X hardened steel centre CV driveshafts, allowing you to upgrade your drivetrain progressively or all at once depending on your needs.
- Includes Drive Pins — Each pair comes complete with 2.5x12 mm drive pins (2), eliminating the need to source additional fasteners and ensuring you have everything required for immediate installation.
- Genuine Traxxas Part — As an official Traxxas replacement component, you can trust that these gears meet the exact specifications and quality standards established by the manufacturer, guaranteeing fitment and performance.
- Performance Upgrade Option — Upgrading to hardened steel differential gears is a recognised performance modification that extends component lifespan significantly, making this an excellent investment for RC enthusiasts who want their vehicles to last longer between maintenance cycles.
Technical Performance
These hardened steel centre differential output gears represent a significant upgrade in drivetrain engineering. The hardened steel material offers superior strength compared to standard brass or aluminium alternatives, providing greater resistance to stripping, wear, and deformation under load. The centre differential is one of the most critical components in your RC vehicle's powertrain, responsible for distributing engine power between the front and rear axles whilst allowing them to rotate at different speeds during cornering. By upgrading to hardened steel gears, you dramatically improve your vehicle's ability to handle aggressive driving, jumps, and high-speed manoeuvres without experiencing drivetrain failure. The inclusion of the 2.5x12 mm drive pins ensures secure attachment and prevents slippage during operation. Compatibility with both standard and upgraded 9655X hardened steel centre CV driveshafts means you can build a fully reinforced drivetrain system tailored to your specific driving style and performance requirements. Whether you're driving a stadium truck, short course truck, or another Traxxas model, these gears provide the reliability and durability that serious RC car UK drivers demand from their machines.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What models are these centre differential output gears compatible with? — These TRX6782X gears are replacement components designed for specific Traxxas models with 10280A centre differential systems. Check your vehicle's manual or contact our knowledgeable team at RC Model Shop to confirm compatibility with your specific model, as they are not compatible with all Traxxas vehicles.
- Why should I upgrade to hardened steel centre differential gears? — Hardened steel gears offer substantially greater durability and strength compared to standard alternatives. If you drive your RC vehicle frequently, perform jumps and stunts, or compete on track, upgrading to hardened steel components significantly extends component lifespan and reduces the risk of drivetrain failure during intensive use.
- Can I use these gears with my existing centre driveshaft? — Yes, these gears are designed to work with standard centre driveshafts. However, for maximum drivetrain performance and reliability, Traxxas also offers the 9655X hardened steel centre CV driveshafts, which pair perfectly with these output gears to create a fully reinforced system.
- Are these genuine Traxxas parts? — Yes, the TRX6782X is an authentic Traxxas replacement component manufactured to the exact specifications and quality standards established by Traxxas. When you purchase from RC Model Shop, you receive genuine parts with full compatibility assurance.
- How difficult is it to install these gears? — Centre differential service is an intermediate-level maintenance task that requires disassembling the differential, removing old gears, and installing new ones. We recommend consulting your vehicle's instruction manual and potentially seeking guidance from experienced RC enthusiasts or our team if this is your first time performing this maintenance.
- What is the difference between these hardened steel gears and standard gears? — Hardened steel gears undergo a special heat-treatment process that increases their hardness and wear resistance dramatically. This makes them significantly more durable under stress, resistant to stripping, and less prone to deformation during aggressive driving compared to standard brass or aluminium alternatives.
