The rebuild set comes complete with all the gears and shims needed for one differential, making installation straightforward for anyone with basic mechanical knowledge and the right tools.
Key Features
- LTC High Tooth Count Design — The innovative low torque capacity gear arrangement features a high tooth count with smaller individual teeth, which creates smoother and more consistent differential action throughout driving conditions, eliminating the annoying on-power locking that can compromise traction and control in competitive racing.
- Reduced On-Power Locking — The advanced gear profile actively resists locking when you apply throttle, which significantly improves traction control and drivability, giving you more confidence and control whether you're accelerating out of corners or maintaining speed on straightaways.
- Straight Tracking Out of Turns — Test drivers confirm that vehicles equipped with these LTC gear sets exhibit noticeably improved straight-line tracking immediately after exiting corners, which translates to faster lap times and more predictable handling on any RC racing circuit.
- Enhanced Turning Ability — The differential design allows your RC buggy to rotate more freely in tight turns, meaning you can take corners with more confidence and precision without the vehicle feeling sluggish or under-responsive to steering input.
- Plastic Construction — This variant utilises plastic gears instead of metal, offering a cost-effective upgrade path that's perfect for drivers who want Factory Team performance improvements without the premium pricing of metal gear sets, whilst maintaining excellent durability and reliability.
- Complete Rebuild Set — All necessary components are included: the full set of gears and shims required for rebuilding one complete differential, so you don't need to source additional parts or worry about compatibility issues.
- Factory Team Quality — Backed by Team Associated's reputation for precision engineering and competitive racing heritage, these differential components are designed and tested to withstand the demands of serious RC racing.
Technical Performance
The RC10B74 FT LTC Differential Rebuild set represents a sophisticated approach to differential engineering specifically tailored for the RC10B74 series platform. The plastic gear construction in this AS92307 variant provides an excellent balance between performance and affordability, making it an ideal upgrade for racers who understand that differential setup can significantly impact overall vehicle handling and lap times. The high tooth count design reduces gear noise whilst simultaneously improving the consistency and smoothness of power delivery through the differential. The inclusion of precision-manufactured shims ensures proper gear mesh and backlash adjustment, which is critical for optimal differential performance. The engineering philosophy behind this LTC design centres on creating a differential that responds intuitively to driver inputs whilst maintaining traction control in both acceleration and deceleration phases. The smaller tooth profile compared to standard differentials allows for finer adjustments in torque biasing characteristics, making this rebuild set particularly valuable for drivers who run on different surfaces throughout the year and need a differential that performs well on dirt, clay, carpet and astro turf equally. Construction quality is exemplary throughout, with each component manufactured to the exacting standards expected from a Factory Team product. The plastic gears are engineered from durable compounds that provide thousands of hours of reliable operation under racing conditions, whilst remaining affordable enough that rebuilding and refreshing the differential between race seasons becomes practical and economical.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is an LTC differential and why would I want one for my RC buggy? — LTC stands for Low Torque Capacity, which refers to a differential design that uses a high tooth count with smaller individual teeth. This geometry creates smoother and more responsive differential action that resists locking under power, giving you better traction control and more predictable handling. LTC differentials are particularly valued in competitive RC racing because they help maintain consistent traction through corners whilst allowing free rotation when needed, resulting in faster and more consistent lap times.
- Is this plastic version as good as the metal version? — Both the plastic and metal variants use the same innovative LTC gear design and engineering, so they deliver identical performance characteristics in terms of differential action, smoothness and responsiveness. The plastic version offers the same Factory Team quality and racing performance at a more accessible price point, making it an excellent choice for racers who want proven performance improvements without the premium cost of metal gears.
- How difficult is it to install this differential rebuild set? — Installation requires basic mechanical knowledge and proper tools, as you'll need to disassemble your existing differential, clean all components, install the new LTC gears and shims, and reassemble everything with the correct tolerances. If you're experienced with RC car maintenance and have the appropriate tools, this is a straightforward upgrade. If you're less experienced, your local RC track or hobby shop may offer installation services.
- What differential oil should I use with these new gears? — Factory Team provides specific recommendations based on your racing surface. For dirt and clay racing, use 15k weight for the front, 200k for the centre, and 10k for the rear. For carpet and astro turf racing, use 20k weight for the front and 15k for the rear. Correct oil viscosity is crucial for optimal differential performance, so always follow these recommendations based on your primary racing surface.
- Will this work with my current differential housing? — Yes, this rebuild set is designed to work with the existing differential housings on RC10B74.1 and RC10B74.1D models. You simply need to remove your old gears and shims, clean the housing thoroughly, and install the new Factory Team LTC components.
- Can I use this differential rebuild on both front and rear differentials? — This rebuild set contains components for one differential, so if you want to upgrade both front and rear differentials, you would need to purchase two sets. However, you may also want to consider upgrading differentials progressively, starting with either front or rear to see how the improved performance affects your overall setup.
- What makes the high tooth count design better than standard differentials? — The high tooth count with smaller individual teeth creates more contact points between gears, which distributes forces more evenly and allows for smoother power delivery. This design resists sudden locking and unlocking, providing more linear and predictable differential response. The result is better traction control, fewer traction-related handling surprises, and the ability to drive with more confidence and consistency lap after lap.
