Precision Roll with Tamiya Ceramic 3mm Diff Balls

Owners of TRF machines looking for crisper diff feel can fit the Tamiya 42142 3mm ceramic differential balls to reduce play and provide a smoother rolling action. These ceramics are intended as a direct upgrade over standard metal balls for better consistency.

Why Ceramics Offer Smoother Operation

Ceramic material tends to hold shape and resist surface damage, offering more predictable movement inside the diff. That stability matters when pushing for repeatable lap times or when running several back to back heats.

Best Uses for Club Racers and Tuners

Delivered as a set of 12, these balls suit racers and tuners who want low-maintenance parts that support steady handling. Fit them as part of routine upgrades to improve longevity and reduce the need for frequent diff rebuilds.

Yes, ceramics can give a cleaner, less notchy feel on smooth surfaces like asphalt, helping the car maintain traction during steady throttle application.
Assembly is the same as for steel balls, but take care to keep parts and hands clean. Avoid dropping the balls onto hard surfaces to prevent chipping.
Yes, ceramics are compatible with standard diff cups and gears, but inspect mating surfaces for wear before refitting to ensure optimal performance.
