Description
Overview
The Tamiya TT-02 Differential Locking Block (54649) is a precision-machined aluminum component that replaces your kit-standard gear differential to provide a locked differential effect. This upgrade eliminates differential slippage, transferring 100% of power equally to both wheels for enhanced traction during acceleration and more predictable handling characteristics.
Made from lightweight aluminum with a stylish blue anodized finish, this locking block is particularly valuable for drift applications where a locked rear differential helps achieve proper car posture for controlled slides. For grip racing, the locked diff provides advantages at corner exit and during standing starts where traction is critical for getting off the line quickly.
