Keep the TB-04 diff sealed and serviceable

Hobbyists rely on the Tamiya 51553 gear differential gasket set to maintain the sealed differential on the TB-04 chassis. These gaskets help preserve oil inside the unit and prevent contamination that can change diff behaviour.

Where it fits

This gasket set matches the TB-04 sealed differential housing for an accurate fit. Swapping in new gaskets is a straightforward upkeep task that keeps ride characteristics consistent for track days or trail runs.

Fitting advice

Ensure faces are free of old lubricant and dust before installing new gaskets. Regular checks and timely replacement will reduce the chance of leaks and protect gears and bearings inside the differential.

Check the gaskets whenever you service the differential or notice a change in handling. For cars used frequently, inspect them at every major service interval.
Properly sealed diffs maintain consistent oil levels, which helps keep diff performance stable. New gaskets stop leaks that can otherwise alter the diff's behaviour over time.
Reusing old gaskets may risk imperfect sealing. If the gasket shows compression marks or damage, fit a new one to be safe.
After fitting the gasket, refill the diff with the same oil weight you used previously to keep handling consistent. Avoid overfilling which can cause pressure at the seals.
