Upon receiving this part I began to fit it only to realise that it has been machined wrong and the diff locking spool does not fit into the teeth in the samix diff case yet I have x3 hot racing ones and x4 yeah racing ones and it fits on all those perfectly plus the standard traxxas diff case ??
Had no issue with the teeth meshing correctly. The machine work appeared to be quality. There were no burrs and all surfaces were finished smoothly. Quality part for the front or rear diff.
Does not fit with stock trx4 parts. The mesh is too small. Tried 2 of them.
Reviewers disagree sharply on fit. Two verified-owner reviews report poor fit: one says the gear mesh is too small and the part did not fit stock TRX-4 parts after trying two units; the other says the locking spool does not engage the teeth in the Samix case, while the same spool fits other aftermarket cases and the stock Traxxas case. A third reviewer reports correct tooth meshing, smooth finishing and no burrs, calling it good quality for front or rear use. The reviews do not clearly establish whether the problem is isolated to particular batches. Reviews are few and conflicting.
- + Smooth surface finish
- + No burrs reported
- + Good machine work quality
