- Hardened Steel Construction — These gears are manufactured from hardened steel, providing superior durability and wear resistance compared to standard components, ensuring your transmission remains reliable through countless hours of bashing and competition use.
- 6-Bolt Design — The 6-bolt configuration ensures secure, vibration-free mounting to your axle assembly, maintaining precise gear mesh and alignment even under extreme off-road conditions and high-stress driving scenarios.
- AR45P Portal Axle Compatibility — Direct compatibility with Axial Capra F9 and SCX10-III vehicles equipped with AR45P portal axles means hassle-free installation without requiring additional adapters or modifications.

Technical Performance
The 6-Bolt 27/8 Overdrive Gear Set represents a carefully engineered balance between speed and reliability. The 27/8 ratio configuration (27-tooth pinion and 8-tooth gear) creates the 12% overdrive effect that translates into noticeably quicker acceleration and higher top-end velocity for your RC crawler or trail buggy. The hardened steel construction ensures these gears can withstand the constant stress of aggressive terrain and high-torque transmissions, whilst the precision 6-bolt interface maintains perfect gear mesh alignment even during the most demanding rock crawling sessions. For RC enthusiasts in the UK who demand quality components that won't let them down mid-competition or mid-adventure, this Axial transmission upgrade delivers the performance consistency and longevity you expect from genuine OEM parts. The engineering is specifically optimised for Axial's advanced portal axle systems, meaning installation and performance integration are seamless and trouble-free.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will the 6-Bolt 27/8 Overdrive Gear Set fit my Axial SCX10-III? — Yes, this gear set is specifically designed for Axial SCX10-III vehicles equipped with AR45P portal axles, making it a direct fit for most modern SCX10-III models. Installation is straightforward and requires no additional components or modifications for these vehicles.
- Can I use this gear set in my SCX10-II rock crawler? — The 6-Bolt 27/8 Overdrive Gear Set can be used in Axial SCX10-II vehicles with AR44-based axles, but you will need to purchase an AR44 6-Bolt Differential Locker separately to ensure proper compatibility and function.
- What does a 12% overdrive mean for my RC crawler's performance? — A 12% overdrive ratio means your vehicle will achieve approximately 12% higher top-end speed compared to stock gearing, whilst still maintaining strong torque delivery for climbing and technical terrain navigation. This makes overdrive gearing ideal if you want to add some extra speed capability to your ready to run RC crawler without sacrificing too much low-end power.
- Why are hardened steel gears better than standard gears? — Hardened steel gears are heat-treated to increase their hardness and durability, making them significantly more resistant to wear, stripping, and failure under stress. For UK RC enthusiasts who use their vehicles frequently or competitively, hardened steel components ensure longer service life and more reliable performance in demanding conditions.
- Is this a direct replacement for stock gearing? — For compatible Axial vehicles with the correct axle type (AR45P for Capra F9 and SCX10-III, or AR44 with Differential Locker for SCX10-II), this is a direct replacement that requires no additional modifications or adapters, making installation quick and straightforward.
- Do I need any special tools to install this gear set? — The source does not specify tools required, so we recommend consulting your vehicle's manual or contacting RC Model Shop directly for detailed installation guidance to ensure proper gear mesh and performance.
