Refurbish Your Tamiya 1/10 Differential for Consistent Performance

The Tamiya 50388 RD Differential Ball Plate Set is aimed at 1/10 scale Formula 1 and two-wheel drive sport cars, for example the FW-14 Williams Renault. This kit supplies the essential components to rebuild the diff plate and maintain steady handling on road or track.

What the Set Contains

The set includes the key items required for proper differential function:

Ball Thrust Bearing: One 1150 size bearing to reduce internal drag and promote smooth rotation.
Thrust Washers: Two pieces to keep pressure even across the assembly.
Disk Springs: Two 5mm springs to preserve preload and balance.
Differential Spacer: One aluminum spacer for accurate spacing and gear mesh.
Steel Balls: Eight 3mm balls built for reliable rolling contact and longevity.
Pressure Disk: Two disks to distribute load across the thrust surfaces.

Is the 50388 kit suitable for road and carpet tracks?

Yes, the components are standard diff hardware. Proper assembly and lubrication are important for predictable behaviour on smooth surfaces like road or carpet.

Are the steel balls replaceable with ceramic options?

The kit includes steel 3mm balls. If you prefer ceramic upgrades, verify size and hardness compatibility before swapping to avoid fit issues.

How do I clean these parts during maintenance?

Disassemble the diff, wipe components with a suitable solvent, inspect for wear, and re-lubricate bearings and balls with diff grease before reassembly.
