CR Chrome Differential Housing Upgrade โ Front & Rear (Traxxas 4X4)
Upgrade your Traxxas 4X4 vehicle with the CR Chrome Differential Housing from Cobra Racing โ a premium front and rear differential housing upgrade designed to improve durability, drivetrain stability, and visual impact.

(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 โ an often-overlooked but critical part of a proper upgrade.
