Losi 5IVE-T Billet Differentials from DarkSoul – Unleashed

The new DarkSoul Racing billet differential housings are machined from 7075 T6* aluminum to give you the strongest possible diff housing we can for your Losi 5IVE-T. We are offering two separate types of housings, the “Standard” housing has the same outer dimensions as the factory housing so it will fit into the front and rear diff cases.

The center diff is also constructed from 7075 T6 aluminum, but has a very unique design feature. We have designed and machined in a series of radial cooling fins that not only act as a great heat sink for the differential assembly, but also blow a small amount of air across the spur gear to help with further cooling. In our testing, we have seen temperature drops at the actual diff case and the front drive cup of as much as 50ºF , simply by switching to the Turbine Diff housing. Less heat equals less wear. As well, with the center diff running cooler, the differential will be more consistant in its performance.

Utilizing aluminum (as opposed to plastic) you will not have the issues of the plastic diff housing holes stripping out from rebuilds/fluid replacement, or flexing under the torque/HP of more powerful engines which ultimately cause the diffs to leak.

The billet diff kits include a new diff housing and diff cap (2 piece design), required assembly hardware, and a new diff housing to gear gasket, and spacer shims to properly space the bearing. It is required that you use a very small amount of liquid gasket when assembling the diff housing and cap as shown in the included instructions.

*7075 T6 aluminum has a maximum tensile strength of 83000 psi compared to 6061 T6 aluminum which has a maximum tensile strength of 45000 psi
