This partnership allows RC4WD to bring many new scale items to the RC hobby, ensuring that every detail matches the quality and design philosophy of the real thing. The diff cover is CNC machined from aluminium and features a smooth anodised finish, delivering authentic scale looks alongside genuine durability improvements for your AR44 axle assembly.
Key Features
- CNC Machined Aluminium Construction — The diff cover is precision CNC machined from high-quality aluminium, ensuring consistent dimensional accuracy and professional-grade finishing that cannot be achieved through plastic moulding alone. This manufacturing process guarantees that every edge is crisp and every surface perfectly flat, delivering the authentic scale appearance that discerning RC crawler enthusiasts demand.
- Smooth Anodised Finish — The aluminium body receives a smooth anodised coating that not only looks authentic but also protects the underlying metal from corrosion and wear. This finish is durable enough to withstand regular trail use, mud, water and the elements commonly encountered during scale crawler adventures.
- High-Fidelity Scale Detailing — Every aspect of this diff cover is designed to replicate the real ARB product with stunning accuracy. The crisp detail work and proportions complement the SCX10 II platform perfectly, making it an essential component for builders who care about scale authenticity and visual realism in their trail trucks.
- Licensed ARB Design — This is an officially licensed product developed in partnership with ARB 4x4 Accessories, meaning the design, branding and overall aesthetic have been approved by the company that manufactures the full-size equivalent. The ARB logo and styling are authentic, adding genuine brand presence to your scale model.
- Complete Hardware Package — The diff cover arrives with all necessary fasteners and even includes an ARB decal sheet, so you have everything required to install and present this accessory on your AR44 axle without needing to source additional parts from specialist RC car UK retailers.
- Perfect Compatibility with SCX10 II — Specifically engineered for the Axial SCX10 II truck platform using AR44 axles, this diff cover integrates seamlessly with your existing setup. The dimensions and mounting points are precisely calculated to ensure a perfect fit every time.
Technical Performance
This diff cover represents the pinnacle of scale realism in RC crawler accessories. Measuring just 30.9mm in total height, 33.0mm in width, and 16.3mm in thickness, the cover is proportionally accurate to the real ARB product whilst remaining appropriately scaled for the 1/10 AR44 axle assembly. Weighing only 10.0 grams, the aluminium construction provides substantial durability without adding unnecessary weight to your crawl truck's unsprung mass. The CNC machining process ensures tolerances tight enough for professional-grade assembly, whilst the smooth anodised finish provides real-world durability against corrosion, UV degradation and mechanical wear. The engineering quality is evident in every detail — from the precisely machined mounting bosses to the accurately replicated ARB badging. For UK RC enthusiasts building a competition-grade scale crawler or simply wanting the best visual authenticity for weekend trail sessions, this is an accessory that will not disappoint. The hardware included comprises M2 stainless steel socket head screws and M2.5 socket head cap screws in black finish, matching the professional aesthetic of the anodised aluminium body.

If your SCX10 II is running AR44 axles, installation will be straightforward using the included hardware.
- What are the exact dimensions of this diff cover? — The RC4WD ARB Diff Cover measures 30.9mm in total height, 33.0mm in width, and 16.3mm in thickness. These carefully calculated proportions ensure it complements the scale of your AR44 axle whilst maintaining authentic visual realism relative to the full-size ARB product.
- Do I need any additional tools or parts to install this? — No, everything you need for installation is included in the box. The package contains all necessary fasteners (stainless steel socket head screws and socket head cap screws) plus an ARB decal sheet. You will only need a small Allen wrench (hex key) to tighten the screws, which is a standard tool in any RC enthusiast's toolkit.
- How much does this diff cover weigh? — The complete assembly weighs just 10.0 grams, making it extremely lightweight whilst maintaining the structural integrity and durability provided by the CNC machined aluminium construction. This minimal weight addition means you won't negatively impact your crawler's performance or handling characteristics.
- Is this suitable for serious trail crawling or just for display? — This diff cover is designed for both purposes. The CNC machined aluminium construction with smooth anodised finish provides genuine durability suitable for regular trail use, mud, water and outdoor conditions.

- What makes this different from a plastic alternative? — The aluminium construction and CNC machining process guarantee superior dimensional accuracy, durability and authentic detailing compared to injection-moulded plastic. The anodised finish provides real corrosion protection, and the precision manufacturing means every surface is perfectly flat and every edge crisp. This is a professional-grade accessory, not a budget alternative.
