GPM Racing 20CRMNTI Steel + 7075 Alloy Complete Center Differential 63T 0.5 Mod for Arrma 1/16 Mini Kraton 3S Dsc 4x4 RTR Brushless Speed Truck (MAKM63S)

Centre Differential Upgrade for ARRMA Mini Kraton 3S

This GPM MAKM63S complete center differential is an RC-scale replacement unit designed for ARRMA Mini Kraton 3S 1/16 models. The assembly combines 20CrMnTi steel differential gears with a 7075 alloy housing to deliver a robust, pre-assembled center diff intended to reduce internal slop and support more consistent torque transfer through the drivetrain.

Internally the unit uses thicker gear geometry and tighter meshing to minimise power loss from the motor to the wheels, helping the motor’s output reach the gearbox more efficiently under load. The gear set maintains the original 63T count and 0.5 module, so it matches the stock tooth profile and mesh pattern.

The center differential is supplied fully assembled and does not include differential oil, so users must fill their preferred diff fluid during installation. GPM recommends using 50K CST silicone oil for the front differential, 30K CST for the rear differential, and 500K or 1000K CST for the center differential depending on desired lock-up and handling. Medium-strength thread locker is advised on suspension and diff fasteners to maintain stability under track or bashing conditions.

The MAKM63S can be paired with GPM motor plate MAKM018, which accepts 15T–34T motor gears at 0.5 module and fits motor shafts with a 3.175mm bore. That pairing is useful when upgrading motor gearing while retaining proper mesh with the center differential.

Compatible Models

• ARRMA 1/16 Mini Kraton 3S DSC 4X4 RTR Brushless Speed Truck-ARA2508S
• ARRMA 1/16 Mini Kraton 3S DSC 4X4 RTR Brushless Speed Truck-ARA2508

The MAKM63S is a rugged, pre-assembled metal centre diff that keeps the stock 63T 0.5 module while offering hardened steel gears and an alloy case for improved drivetrain consistency; pick diff oil to tune handling to your needs.

Is the MAKM63S a straight swap for the stock unit?

Yes. It retains the 63T 0.5 module so it fits the Mini Kraton 3S gearbox without modification in most cases.

What should I consider when choosing centre diff oil?

Higher viscosities produce stronger lock-up and more predictable power transfer; lower viscosities allow freer action. Choose 500K or 1000K for firm lock-up depending on conditions and driving preference.

Does the alloy housing change durability?

The 7075 alloy housing increases rigidity and protects the internal gears better than standard plastic housings, improving long-term reliability under load.

Any fitment tips for best performance?

Check gear mesh carefully, use the recommended thread locker on diff and suspension fasteners, and fill the centre with your chosen oil before running to ensure the intended handling characteristics.

Will this work with the MAKM018 motor plate?

Yes. The MAKM63S is compatible with the MAKM018 plate, which accepts 15T–34T pinions at 0.5 module and a 3.175mm motor shaft bore for correct mesh. Write Product Review Please sign in your account before you can write any review. Sign In Close
