Key Features
- Metal Construction — Unlike standard plastic gears that can wear, strip, or break under heavy load, metal gears offer substantially greater durability and longevity, making them the preferred choice for serious RC enthusiasts who want their vehicle to perform reliably over many hours of use.
- V2 Design — This updated second-generation design incorporates refinements based on extensive field testing and user feedback, ensuring improved mesh tolerance, smoother engagement, and reduced noise compared to earlier iterations.
- Genuine OEM Part — As an official Axial product, this gear set is engineered to exacting manufacturer specifications and integrates perfectly with your Capra 1.9 UTB without fitment issues or compatibility concerns.
- Drop-In Replacement — The Metal Gear Set, V2 is designed as a direct replacement for the factory transmission gears in compatible models, allowing straightforward installation without modifications or additional engineering required.
- Enhanced Load Capacity — Metal gears can withstand significantly higher torque and shock loads compared to plastic alternatives, making them essential for off-road bashing, rock crawling, and high-performance driving conditions typical of UK RC terrain.
Technical Performance
The Metal Gear Set, V2 for the Capra 1.9 UTB represents a critical powertrain upgrade for RC car enthusiasts throughout the UK who understand that drivetrain durability directly impacts vehicle reliability. Metal gearing systems operate with superior wear characteristics, maintaining consistent gear mesh quality throughout extended use whilst plastic gears gradually degrade under repeated shock loads and sustained driving conditions. The engineering approach utilises precisely machined metal components that distribute forces more evenly across tooth contact surfaces, resulting in smoother power delivery, reduced slippage, and more predictable handling characteristics. This transmission upgrade is particularly valuable for owners who operate their brushless RC vehicles at high power levels, frequently drive across rocky terrain, or engage in aggressive driving styles that stress standard plastic components beyond their design limits. The V2 iteration specifically addresses manufacturing tolerances and mesh geometry refinements that optimise the balance between smooth operation and maximum load-carrying capability. Whether you're exploring technical trails, participating in competitive racing events, or simply maximising the lifespan of your RC investment, upgrading to metal gears represents one of the most effective performance and durability enhancements available for the Capra 1.9 UTB platform.
