Strengthen Your TB-04 Differential with Steel Bevels

For TB-04 and TB-04 PRO owners looking to reduce gear failures, the Tamiya 54540 steel bevel gear set offers a durable alternative to plastic internals. The steel construction helps resist wear from powerful motors and frequent running.

Notable Points About the Tamiya 54540 Set

Material: Hard-wearing steel gives a longer lifespan than standard plastic gears.
Compatibility: Specifically intended for TB-04 and TB-04 PRO chassis variants.
Components: Includes two 20T bevel gears and four 12T bevel gears, enough for one differential assembly.

Practical Installation Notes

Before installing the Tamiya 54540 gears, wipe all parts clean and inspect for burrs. Set correct gear mesh and lubricate with a quality metal gear grease. Recheck the gear mesh after early running sessions to ensure smooth operation.

Fantastic I received every part I ordered in perfect condition.

Can I fit these to older TB-04 variants?

They are designed for TB-04 and TB-04 PRO chassis. Check housing dimensions on much older or modified TB-04 variants before fitting.

Will steel gears increase drivetrain noise?

Metal gears can be slightly louder than plastic, but correct mesh and lubrication will keep noise to a minimum while improving durability.

Should I change other differential parts when upgrading?

Inspect bearings and the differential case; replacing worn bearings or shims helps the new Tamiya 54540 gears run reliably under load.
