- 37-Tooth Ring Gear — The ring gear provides optimal torque distribution and power transmission, ensuring smooth acceleration and reliable performance across varying terrain and driving styles.
- 13-Tooth Front and Rear Pinion Gears — The matched pinion gear set delivers consistent power delivery to both front and rear differentials, maintaining balanced handling and traction.
- Universal Fitment (Front or Rear) — The design allows installation in either front or rear positions on compatible Traxxas models, providing flexibility for your specific setup requirements and maintenance needs.
- Genuine Traxxas Component — Manufactured by Traxxas to original equipment specifications, ensuring compatibility, durability, and performance consistency with your RC vehicle.

Technical Performance
The Traxxas Assembled Differential TRX10880 is engineered with precision to deliver reliable differential action in your RC vehicle. The 37-tooth ring gear and 13-tooth pinion configuration is specifically designed to provide smooth torque distribution and power delivery, optimising the performance characteristics of compatible Traxxas models including the Mini Maxx, Mini XRT, Mini Slash, and Mini Rally. The assembled construction means all internal components are pre-aligned and ready for immediate use, eliminating potential fitment issues and ensuring proper meshing between gears from the moment of installation. The gear teeth are manufactured to exacting tolerances, allowing for efficient power transmission with minimal losses during acceleration and cornering. The differential mechanism itself controls wheel speed differentials during turns, allowing the inside wheel to rotate slower than the outside wheel, which is crucial for maintaining traction and control during cornering manoeuvres. This makes the TRX10880 suitable for a wide range of driving conditions, from circuit racing to off-road bashing and trail running. For those maintaining or upgrading their Traxxas RC vehicles, this differential provides the reliability and performance that serious RC enthusiasts depend upon.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I install this differential myself, or do I need professional help? — The TRX10880 arrives completely assembled and ready to install, making it straightforward for most RC enthusiasts to fit into their vehicle. However, you may need to adjust the gear meshing clearance during installation to ensure optimal performance. If you're unfamiliar with differential installation, we recommend consulting your vehicle's manual or seeking guidance from experienced RC modellers at your local hobby shop.
- What models is this differential compatible with? — The TRX10880 is designed as a replacement differential for Traxxas Mini Maxx, Mini XRT, Mini Slash, and Mini Rally models. It can be fitted to either the front or rear position on these vehicles, providing flexibility in your maintenance and upgrade plans.
- Do I need to add differential oil, and if so, what type? — Yes, differential oil is required. Traxxas recommends using 50K cSt differential oil for optimal performance and protection of the internal gear components. You will need to add this oil yourself after installation; it's not included with the differential.
- How does the 37T ring and 13T pinion setup compare to other options? — The 37-tooth ring gear and 13-tooth pinion combination is engineered to provide a specific balance of torque and speed for the Mini Maxx, Mini XRT, Mini Slash, and Mini Rally platforms. This ratio is optimised for these vehicle designs and provides the manufacturers' recommended performance characteristics for normal driving conditions.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, the TRX10880 is suitable for beginners in terms of component quality and reliability. However, differential installation and adjustment require some mechanical knowledge. If you're new to RC maintenance, consider having an experienced RC enthusiast assist you during installation, or consult detailed guides and tutorials specific to your vehicle model.
- How long does a differential typically last? — With proper maintenance including regular differential oil changes and careful driving, a quality Traxxas differential should last many seasons. Regular inspection for wear and prompt replacement of damaged internal components will maximise the life of your differential system.
- Will this improve my RC car's performance? — If you're replacing a damaged or worn differential, the TRX10880 will restore your vehicle to its original performance characteristics. It's not designed as a performance upgrade over standard differentials, but rather as a genuine replacement component that maintains your vehicle's intended performance and handling balance.
