Center drive upgrade for Kraton 1/5

The MAKX1953TS kit provides a matched 53T center gear and 19T idler in M1.0 module, engineered as a direct center differential replacement for ARRMA Kraton 1/5 models. Both gears are produced from 20CrMnTi steel to offer better resistance to wear under sustained 8S brushless conditions while keeping the original tooth profile and module.

This set is intended solely for RC drivetrain applications and installs into the vehicle’s center differential housing. Check bearing fits and gear alignment during assembly. Because tooth counts and module are unchanged, the gears maintain the Kraton gearbox geometry and the stock pinion/spur ratio relationships.

Practical guidance: clean the contact surfaces, ensure correct idler positioning, and fine tune gear mesh before road testing. The stronger steel alloy helps reduce pitting and flexing that can occur with softer metals in high-power setups.

Compatible Models

  • ARRMA 1/5 Kraton 4X4 8S BLX Brushless Speed Monster Truck RTR-ARA110002
  • ARRMA 1/5 Outcast 4WD 8S BLX Stunt Truck RTR-ARA5810
  • ARRMA 1/5 Kraton 8S EXB 4X4 Roller Brushless Speed Truck-ARA5208
  • ARRMA 1/5 Kraton 4X4 8S BLX EXB Brushless Monster Truck RTR-ARA5808V2
  • ARRMA 1/5 Outcast 8S EXB 4X4 Roller Brushless Stunt Truck-ARA5210
  • ARRMA 1/5 Outcast 4X4 8S BLX EXB Brushless Stunt Truck RTR-ARA5810V2

This steel gear pair is recommended where longevity and repeatable center diff behavior are required, notably in high-output 8S Kraton applications that stress drivetrain components.

Will these gears fit my Kraton without modification?

Yes. The MAKX1953TS kit matches the original module and tooth counts, allowing bolt-in fitment in standard Kraton center differential housings that use ARA310919 and ARA310921.

How does 20CrMnTi compare to other alloys?

20CrMnTi is chosen for its balance of toughness and wear resistance, reducing the risk of deformation and surface pitting versus softer gear alloys in high-torque environments.

Exactly what parts are supplied?

The kit contains one 53T center differential gear and one 19T idler gear, both in module 1.0 and matched to each other for center assembly use.

Any special break-in required?

Run a short low-load bedding period and then recheck mesh and bearing positions. This helps stabilise contact patterns and detects any assembly issues early.

Will these change my gear ratios?

No. Because the set preserves the original tooth counts and module, it does not alter factory pinion or spur ratio relationships when installed as intended.

Are these suitable for competition use?

They are engineered for high-stress environments and can be used in demanding applications, but check class rules if competing, and perform routine inspections after heavy runs.
