Metal diff conversion

Arrma Typhon 223S BLX DSC · ARA4306V4

This swaps the axle differential's composite main gear for a matched metal-gear assembly or rebuild. It is an option when replacing worn gears, but installation on this exact Typhon edition still needs confirmation and the material change alone does not prove greater durability.

Upgrade notes

  • Requires ARA311153: Matching metal input gear · 13T, 1.35 Mod.
  • Already listed for the Typhon 223S; inspect yours before reuse.

Exact-edition installation not yet confirmed.

Installation notes

  • Choose either the complete assembly or a rebuild.
  • Rebuild: ARA311152 needs the ARA311154 case and ARA311153 input gear.
  • Inspect reused parts. This is not a complete installation checklist.
  • Applies to the front and rear differentials, not the center differential.
  • Scope: Typhon 223S BLX ARA4306V4 and Kraton 4S BLX V2 ARA4408V2. Other editions need separate checks.
  • Metal gearing alone does not establish a durability improvement or a higher battery rating.
