TRAXXAS SLEDGE Center Differential 52T SLE52S Upgrade by GPM  [SLE52S]

52T center differential replacement overview

The SLE52S center complete differential is a ready-to-fit replacement designed for the TRAXXAS 1/8 4WD SLEDGE MONSTER TRUCK platform. It combines a 52T straight-cut main gear with hardened 20CrMnTi steel internals and 7075 aluminium housings to enhance component life under demanding conditions, and it ships fully assembled to reduce installation time.

Key points: the 52T straight-cut gear is specified at a 1.0 module for predictable meshing, drive shafts use a high-strength alloy for effective torque transfer, and rubber-sealed bearings are included for straightforward fitment. The assembly replaces factory part number #9585 and does not include differential oil; users must supply and fill fluid per the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations.

Installation tips: confirm alignment and fit before final fastening, and consider medium-strength thread adhesive on exposed external screws to lessen the chance of loosening in service. Refer to the TRAXXAS manual for the recommended differential oil grade and fill procedure.

Engineered for users who want a direct swap with upgraded materials and easy servicing, the SLE52S provides a practical drivetrain enhancement for the listed TRAXXAS Sledge vehicles.
