A critical part of any modern race RC vehicle is the differential. Performing quick changes, maintenance, and rebuilding are vital for optimal differential performance. But let's face it: doing this can be a messy, unorganized, and a frustrating experience.

Viking Design Works recognized a need for improvement. We are pleased to announce our newest product; the Differential Service Station. This unique and innovative tool smooths out the process to rebuild most 1/10 and 1/8 scale differentials from now on, and adds a lot of value and style to your race program.

Features:

Keeps all differential parts and chassis/transmission screws clean and organized in outdrive and screw recess areas
Tool holds all aspects of servicing work, frees up BOTH hands for the servicing process
Angled orientation and backing plate makes installing differential balls in the differential gear less cumbersome. It is easier to find the installed "sweet spot" and eliminating the possibility of pushing the ball too far
Service station simplifies thrust bearing assembly by holding the trust bearing screw vertically and independently
Two 1/10 scale outdrive holders
Two 1/8 scale outdrive holders
Built in phone holder fits a variety of models and case thicknesses
Small and very lightweight, fits a variety of pit boxes
Sleek and sharp design inspired by the Stealth Fighter
3D Printed one-by-one homegrown using plastic made in the USA
