These hardened steel spider gears are a precision aftermarket replacement intended for TRAXXAS E-REVO style 1/10 4WD differentials. The ER1200S/G2 gear set replaces softer factory spiders to reduce wear in high-torque and sustained-load environments.
Service and installation follow standard differential teardown procedures: remove the diff cover, extract the spider carrier, replace the spider gears, confirm lateral play and gear mesh, and reassemble with the chosen diff oil. No specialised tooling is required beyond typical hobbyist tools, though a dial indicator or feeler gauges can help confirm optimal mesh for competitive tuning.
From an engineering perspective these steel spiders are a durability and service-life upgrade. They maintain consistent gear engagement under elevated torque, reducing progressive wear on mating gears and helping maintain predictable drivetrain behaviour in tuned or heavyweight setups.
