Get Solid Gear Mesh on Your XV-02 with the 40T Set

The Tamiya 51696 Ring Gear Set provides the replacement pieces needed to bring an XV-02 differential back to reliable service. The package contains a 40T ring gear, a 15T bevel pinion, a gasket and the differential case for a straightforward rebuild.

Component Breakdown

Ring Gear (40T): Ensures consistent rotation between the input and spider gears for smooth drive.
Bevel Pinion Gear (15T): Works with the ring gear to keep torque transfer efficient and predictable.
Gasket: Keeps lubricant inside the diff and stops contamination from entering.
Differential Case: Holds gear geometry steady, especially under tight cornering loads.

Where and When to Use This Set

Designed specifically for the Tamiya XV-02 chassis, this ring gear set is ideal when replacing worn teeth or rebuilding the differential during a service. It restores drivetrain integrity for both casual running and more demanding sessions.

Can I swap this into a different diff case?

The parts are sized for the XV-02 diff arrangement. Mixing with other diff cases may work only if dimensions and shaft locations match exactly.

Should I change diff oil after fitting the new gears?

Yes, fit the gears, seal the case and add the appropriate diff oil to achieve the desired traction and protect the new teeth.

Is any shimming required for correct gear mesh?

Some spacing adjustments may be necessary to set a quiet, even mesh. Use feeler methods or the vehicle assembly guide to confirm the correct backlash.
