- Drive Dog Carrier Included — The drive dog carrier is a critical component that works alongside the output gears to ensure smooth power transmission and engagement between your motor and wheels, making this a complete drivetrain solution in a single package.
- Genuine Traxxas Manufacturing — As an official Traxxas replacement part, this component is engineered and manufactured to the same specifications as the original equipment, guaranteeing compatibility and performance with your RC model.
- Drivetrain Spares Category — Specifically classified as a drivetrain spare part, this component directly addresses transmission and power delivery systems, making it essential maintenance for any serious RC enthusiast in the UK who wants to keep their vehicle running at peak efficiency.
- Direct Replacement Solution — This part is designed as a replacement component, meaning it's the correct choice when your existing output gears have worn, stripped, or become damaged through normal use and driving.

Technical Performance
The Traxxas Output gears, forward & reverse / drive dog carrier represents precision engineering at the heart of your RC vehicle's drivetrain system. Output gears are among the most heavily stressed components in any RC car or truck, as they must translate the rotational energy from your brushless or brushed motor into reliable forward and reverse motion whilst handling the torque and loads generated during acceleration and cornering. The drive dog carrier is the mechanical interface that ensures the gears engage and disengage smoothly, providing crisp power delivery without hesitation or slippage. Traxxas has engineered this component set to withstand the demands of both casual driving and competitive racing applications, though as noted by experienced users, the standard polymer construction, whilst adequate for most driving conditions, may be subject to stripping under extreme stress or with exceptionally powerful motor setups. The durability of any drivetrain component depends on several factors: the quality of maintenance you perform on your RC vehicle, the driving style and terrain you're using, the power level of your motor setup, and how frequently you operate your vehicle. For owners seeking maximum longevity and ultimate durability under competition conditions, aftermarket metal gear options may be considered as future upgrades, though the original Traxxas specification gears provide excellent value and performance for the vast majority of UK RC enthusiasts.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What vehicles is the Traxxas TRX5395 output gear set compatible with? — This genuine Traxxas replacement part is specifically designed for Traxxas Revo models and other compatible Traxxas vehicles that use this drivetrain configuration. Always verify your specific model number before ordering to ensure compatibility with your RC car or truck.
- How often do I need to replace my RC car's output gears? — Output gear replacement frequency depends entirely on your usage patterns. Regular casual bashers might replace gears annually or less frequently, whilst competitive racers or owners with high-power motor setups may need replacements more regularly. Signs that replacement is needed include loss of power delivery, difficulty engaging forward or reverse, grinding noises, or visible gear damage when you inspect your drivetrain.
- Are these gears suitable for high-performance setups? — The Traxxas Output gears, forward & reverse / drive dog carrier are genuine factory-specification components that work well for standard and moderately upgraded setups. However, as experienced users have noted, polymer gears can strip under extreme stress from very powerful brushless motors or in intensive competition use, which is why some enthusiasts eventually upgrade to aftermarket metal alternatives for maximum durability.
- Is this a complete drivetrain replacement or just gears? — This product is a complete package that includes both the forward and reverse output gears plus the drive dog carrier, making it a comprehensive drivetrain solution. You won't need to order separate components to complete your repair.
- Can I install this myself, or do I need professional help? — Output gear replacement requires moderate mechanical knowledge and comfort working with your RC vehicle's drivetrain. Most experienced RC enthusiasts in the UK can handle this job themselves using basic tools and a service manual, though some may prefer to have a professional service centre handle the installation to ensure perfect reassembly.
- How does this compare to metal gear alternatives? — Genuine Traxxas polymer output gears offer outstanding value, reliability for normal use, and reduced friction compared to metal alternatives, resulting in slightly better efficiency. However, metal aftermarket options provide superior durability under extreme stress and competition conditions at the cost of slightly increased weight and friction. Your choice depends on your driving style and whether durability or performance efficiency is your priority.
