The Kyosho LA427-78 is a 48 pitch, 78-tooth spur gear supplied as an aftermarket replacement for Lazer ZX7.5 cars. It functions as the main large gear within the on-road drivetrain, intended for hobbyist and tuning use.
Being a mechanical drivetrain component, this spur affects final drive ratio and torque transfer when paired with a chosen pinion. It mounts to the ZX7.5 spur shaft using standard hardware, so confirm spur mount geometry and shaft size before fitting to avoid misalignment.
Recommended installation steps: set and measure a small backlash at the pinion interface, ensure concentric mounting with no axial movement, and use a light gear lubricant on tooth faces if part of your upkeep routine. Manually spin the drivetrain once installed to confirm smooth engagement prior to powered runs.
A practical spare for those restoring or adjusting gear ratios on Lazer ZX7.5 based RC cars, the LA427-78 allows straightforward adjustments to handling and speed characteristics.
