The 8980 complete center differential kit has been discontinued and is no longer available as an assembled unit.
The Traxxas 10280X aluminum center differential is the recommended upgrade path for Maxx and Maxx Slash owners. It uses a finned aluminum carrier for improved heat dissipation and comes pre-loaded with 20-million weight silicone oil — a significant step up from the stock 8980 in both durability and performance, with direct fitment to the same platform.

Owners needing specific internals rather than a complete unit may find individual components still available. Key parts from the 8980 assembly include the 44-tooth center differential gear (8688), hardened steel output gears (8684), and the spider gear set (8682). Availability of individual components varies — search the JackWagon catalog or ask in-store.
