Overview
Protect your X-Maxx rear differential and add a clean visual upgrade with the Hot Racing CNC 6061 Aluminum Rear Differential Cover. CNC-machined from solid 6061 aluminum and finished with a vibrant blue anodized coating, this direct-replacement diff cover replaces the stock plastic part with a stronger, more rigid component that's built to survive rocks, ledges, and the inevitable contact with hard obstacles that comes with bashing a Traxxas X-Maxx.
Beyond the visual upgrade, the aluminum construction also helps dissipate heat away from the differential under heavy load — an underrated benefit when you're hammering 8S brushless power through the drivetrain. It's a quick, affordable upgrade that pays off in both protection and aesthetics.
