The Traxxas 4981X spool is a differential eliminator designed exclusively for off-road RC use, locking the axle solid to deliver equal, uninterrupted power to both wheels. Rather than allowing the differential to distribute torque independently between wheels, the spool removes that function entirely — a common choice for straight-line bashing and certain off-road driving styles where a locked axle is preferred. Note that this spool requires the separate Traxxas #4981 ring gear to function, so check you have that part before fitting. The style code TRX4981X is listed as a match for the Traxxas 49104-1 platform, so verify fitment against your specific model before ordering.
Key Features
