CR Chrome Differential Housing for Traxxas Slash & Rustler 4×4

CR Chrome Differential Housing Upgrade – Front & Rear (Traxxas 4X4)

Upgrade your Traxxas 4X4 vehicle with the CR Chrome Differential Housing from Cobra Racing — a premium front and rear differential housing upgrade designed to improve durability, drivetrain stability, and visual impact. Finished in a high-polish chrome coating, this setup delivers both performance gains and a standout look for serious RC builds.

This complete kit includes both front and rear housings, along with a full bearing refresh, making it a true drop-in drivetrain upgrade rather than a piecemeal add-on.

(Available in multiple colors)

Superior Build Quality

The Cobra Racing Chrome Differential Housing is manufactured from high-quality materials engineered to outperform stock plastic housings under real-world abuse. Designed to handle high torque loads and repeated shock impacts, these housings significantly reduce flex and long-term wear in the drivetrain.

Compared to stock housings, this upgrade delivers:

• Increased rigidity under load

• Improved gear alignment

• Greater resistance to heat and stress

• Longer service life in high-power setups

Improved Performance & Heat Management

Maintaining proper differential alignment is critical for smooth power delivery. These housings are precision-machined to ensure a consistent fit, reducing friction and improving drivetrain efficiency.

The integrated design helps manage heat generated by the differential during extended runs, contributing to:

• Smoother operation

• Better power transfer

• Improved consistency during hard driving

Included ABEC-5 Bearing Refresh

This kit includes a full set of ABEC-5 rubber sealed bearings for both the front and rear differentials. Replacing worn bearings during installation helps eliminate slop, reduce friction, and restore drivetrain smoothness — an often-overlooked but critical part of a proper upgrade.
