Drop-In Differential Case for NDF-01

The Tamiya 5404009 Differential Case is produced to suit the NDF-01 chassis and acts as a practical spare to keep your model running reliably. It offers protection for the gearset and helps retain steady power transfer.

Compatibility and Role

Designed for a direct fit on the NDF-01 platform, this case protects internal gearing and preserves gear mesh. Its sturdy construction reduces deformation under load, helping to limit premature wear.

Installation Advice for Hobbyists

Work on a clean bench and verify bearings and pinions before assembly. Correct positioning and torque on screws will prevent binding and help the car drive predictably in varied conditions.

Will this part affect gear ratio?

No, the differential case itself does not change gear ratios. It houses and secures the gears that determine ratios, so replace like-for-like to retain original gearing.

Is special grease required for assembly?

Use a suitable RC gear grease for the bevel and spider gears, and light oil for bearings. Correct lubrication reduces friction and extends service intervals.

Can I reuse the old screws and hardware?

You can reuse hardware if it is undamaged, but inspect threads and heads for wear. Replace stripped or corroded screws to avoid future failures.

How do I check for differential play after fitting?

Rotate the wheels by hand and feel for smooth engagement. Excessive slack or grinding indicates the need to recheck bearing seating and gear alignment.
