WHAT A CENTER DIFFERENTIAL DOES
In a four-wheel-drive RC drivetrain, a center differential allows the front and rear drivetrains to rotate at different speeds while still transmitting drive to both ends of the vehicle. This can reduce driveline wind-up and gives the chassis another tuning point for acceleration, corner entry and overall front-to-rear power delivery.
DIFFERENTIAL-FLUID TUNING
As with other fluid-filled RC differentials, changing center-differential fluid viscosity changes how freely the front and rear outputs can differentiate under load. Thicker fluid generally increases coupling between the front and rear drivetrains, while thinner fluid allows greater speed difference. The ideal setup depends on surface grip, tires, power system and driving style.
CUSTOMER-REPORTED INSTALLATION / PERFORMANCE
CEN's own CKM0201 product page includes a customer review reporting that the center differential installed quickly and that the vehicle's performance improved after installation. This is customer-reported experience, not a quantified CEN engineering claim, so GASHEAD RC does not represent a specific performance gain as manufacturer-certified data.
COMPATIBILITY
CEN lists CKM0201 specifically for the Rally 1 / M-Sport platform. Verify the CKM0201 part number against your vehicle before installation, particularly if the center drivetrain, spur gear, motor mount, center shafts or related driveline components have been modified.
INSTALLATION & SERVICE NOTES
- Confirm correct gear mesh and free drivetrain rotation after installation.
- Inspect bearings, outdrives, shafts and mating gears for wear before assembling the new center differential.
- After installation, rotate the drivetrain by hand and verify there is no binding before applying power.
- If the differential is opened for service, rebuild it cleanly and use an appropriate differential fluid and fill procedure.
- Recheck hardware after the first run, especially on a high-power 1/8-scale drivetrain.
PACKAGE CONTENTS
CEN identifies CKM0201 as a Complete Center Differential Set. The official product image shows the center-differential components supplied as a kit. CEN's public product text does not provide a complete itemized component count, individual gear-tooth counts or a detailed hardware list, so GASHEAD RC does not publish unverified quantities.
MANUFACTURER DATA NOT PUBLISHED
CEN's current CKM0201 listing does not publish the internal gear ratio, spur-gear tooth count, differential-case material, bevel-gear material, factory fluid specification, exact oil fill volume, output dimensions, bearing sizes, total assembled weight, torque capacity or quantified front/rear torque-distribution characteristics. Those values are intentionally not estimated or invented.
Manufacturer application and product designation reviewed against CEN Racing's official CKM0201 product page, KAOS Rally 1 Upgrades catalog and M-Sport parts catalog. Product specifications and packaging may be revised by the manufacturer without notice.
