The Traxxas TRX5381X Spool Differential is a solid-axle differential eliminator designed for off-road RC use, providing a locked rear axle for consistent, direct power delivery to both wheels simultaneously. Unlike a standard open differential, the spool removes the differential action entirely, meaning both drive wheels turn at the same rate regardless of traction conditions. This makes it a specialist part suited to straight-line off-road bashing and racing applications where equal power split is a priority. Note that the spool is not suitable for on-road use, as the locked axle makes cornering on hard surfaces difficult and puts unnecessary stress on drivetrain components. To install TRX5381X, you will also need the Traxxas 5379X ring gear, which is sold separately and is required to complete the assembly.
