Key Features
- 54-tooth design — This tooth count represents a specific gear ratio that provides a balanced compromise between acceleration and top speed, making it suitable for various Traxxas RC models and driving conditions across diverse UK terrain and racing environments.
- 32-pitch specification — The 32-pitch (32DP) rating indicates the gear's diametral pitch, which determines compatibility with other drivetrain components and ensures proper meshing with your RC car's pinion gear for smooth, efficient power transfer.
- Integrated bushing — The built-in bushing eliminates the requirement for separate bushing installation, reducing assembly time, minimising potential alignment errors, and ensuring consistent performance straight from the box.
- Genuine Traxxas OEM component — As an official Traxxas manufactured part, this spur gear meets the manufacturer's exacting quality standards, guarantees compatibility with your specific RC model, and carries the assurance that you're installing authentic factory-specification equipment.
- Precision engineering — Manufactured using advanced techniques and premium materials, this gear delivers minimal backlash, smooth engagement, quiet operation, and extended lifespan compared to generic aftermarket alternatives.
- Direct replacement part — Designed as a plug-and-play replacement for worn or damaged spur gears, this component restores your RC car's original performance characteristics without requiring modification or adjustment to other drivetrain components.
Technical Performance

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a spur gear and why does my RC car need one? — A spur gear is a critical drivetrain component that transfers power from your motor to the transmission system in your RC car. The spur gear meshes with the pinion gear (attached to the motor shaft) to create the gear reduction that gives your vehicle its acceleration and torque characteristics. Without a properly functioning spur gear, your RC car cannot operate, and a worn or damaged spur gear will result in sluggish acceleration, reduced top speed, and potential damage to other drivetrain components.
- How do I know if my spur gear needs replacing? — Signs that your spur gear requires replacement include grinding or clicking noises during acceleration, delayed throttle response, visible tooth damage or wear, difficulty in smooth acceleration, or metal shavings in your differential or transmission case. Regular inspection of your spur gear during maintenance routines will help you identify wear before it causes additional drivetrain damage.
- Will this 54-tooth spur gear fit my RC car? — The TRX3454 is a genuine Traxxas OEM component designed for specific Traxxas RC models. You should verify compatibility with your specific vehicle model before purchase by checking your vehicle's manual or contacting RC Model Shop for confirmation. Different Traxxas models use different spur gear tooth counts, and installing an incorrect gear ratio can negatively impact performance.
- What is the difference between 32-pitch and other pitch specifications? — The pitch specification (in this case, 32-pitch or 32DP) refers to the diametral pitch, which determines the spacing and size of the gear teeth. Different RC vehicles use different pitch specifications, and gears must match in pitch to mesh properly and function correctly. You cannot interchange gears of different pitch specifications without causing performance problems or mechanical damage.
- Is this a direct replacement part? — Yes, the Traxxas Spur gear TRX3454 is designed as a genuine OEM replacement component that will directly replace the worn or damaged spur gear in compatible Traxxas RC vehicles without requiring modification or adjustment to other drivetrain components.
- How often should I replace my spur gear? — The lifespan of a spur gear depends on your driving style, maintenance practices, and the conditions in which you operate your RC car. Gentle drivers who maintain their vehicles regularly may achieve extended gear life, whilst aggressive bashers or racers may need more frequent replacement. Regular inspection and preventive maintenance will help you determine when replacement is necessary.
