TRAXXAS SLEDGE 52T Center Complete Differential Upgrade for 1/8 4WD SLEDGE - SLE52S by GPM  [SLE52S]

Robust center differential for SLEDGE

The SLE52S center complete differential is a direct-fit RC replacement designed for the TRAXXAS 1/8 4WD SLEDGE MONSTER TRUCK platform. The assembly pairs a 52T straight-cut main gear with hardened 20CrMnTi steel internals and 7075 aerospace-grade aluminium housings to extend component life under heavy load, and ships fully assembled to speed installation.

Key mechanical notes: the main 52T gear uses a 1.0 module straight-cut profile for predictable meshing, cross shafts are specified as 4140 carbon steel for effective torque transfer, and rubber-sealed bearings are included to simplify fitment. The unit replaces factory part number #9585 and does not include differential oil, which must be supplied and filled separately following the vehicle manufacturer’s guidance.

Installation and service guidance: the differential arrives pre-assembled, so confirm fitment before final tightening. It is recommended to use medium-strength screw glue on external fasteners to reduce the risk of loosening during running. For differential fluid type and fill procedure, consult the TRAXXAS manual for the correct viscosity and volume.

For builders prioritizing drivetrain durability and consistent center behavior, the SLE52S assembly provides a straightforward, material-focused upgrade path for the specified TRAXXAS Sledge platform while maintaining serviceability and adjustability.
