Key Features
- 72-Tooth Design — The 72-tooth configuration is engineered to provide the correct gear ratio for optimal power delivery and acceleration characteristics in compatible Traxxas RC models, ensuring balanced performance whether you're focused on top speed or torque.
- 32-Pitch Specification — The 32-pitch rating indicates precise tooth spacing that meshes perfectly with compatible pinion gears, maintaining efficient power transfer from the motor to the wheels and reducing mechanical losses in your drivetrain.
- Integrated Bushing — The built-in bushing provides essential support for the gear shaft, reducing radial play and wear on both the spur gear and the supporting bearings, which directly translates to smoother operation, quieter running, and a longer service life for your entire drivetrain assembly.
- Genuine Traxxas Component — As an official Traxxas part, this spur gear is manufactured to exacting standards and undergoes rigorous quality control, ensuring it meets the same specifications and durability requirements as the original equipment fitted to new models.
- Replacement Spare Part — Designed specifically as a replacement component, this gear allows you to restore your RC car to factory specifications or upgrade your drivetrain with genuine OEM parts, maintaining compatibility and reliability with your existing setup.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Spur gear (72-Tooth) (32-pitch) with bushing is manufactured to the highest engineering standards expected from Traxxas, a leader in RC vehicle innovation and performance. The 72-tooth spur gear works in conjunction with compatible pinion gears to create the gear ratio that determines your vehicle's acceleration profile and top speed capabilities. The 32-pitch specification ensures precision tooth engagement, which is critical for smooth power transmission and minimal backlash in the drivetrain. The integrated bushing is a key design feature that differentiates this component from simpler alternatives; it provides radial support for the gear shaft, minimising wobble and deflection under load, which is especially important during aggressive driving, high-speed runs, or competitive racing where drivetrain stress is at its maximum. This bushing-equipped design reduces wear patterns on both the spur gear teeth and the supporting ball bearings, protecting your investment and extending the operational life of your RC car's transmission system. The gear is constructed from durable materials engineered to withstand the rigorous demands of RC motorsport, from casual weekend bashing to serious track competition across the UK racing scene.
