Compact Durability for 48-Pitch Drivetrains

The RACE OPT 48P Spur Gear 82T is produced in POM to combine resilience with smooth operation for model car gearboxes. This 82-tooth spur is a practical choice when servicing or refreshing 48-pitch drivetrains.

Performance Traits of POM

POM is prized for its wear resistance and low friction characteristics, delivering steady meshing and lower noise under normal running conditions. It stays dimensionally stable during typical hobby use.

Suitable Vehicles and Uses

Intended for 48-pitch gear systems, the spur fits a wide range of hobby models that accept 48P pinions. Use it for maintenance replacements or modest gearing adjustments where reliable tooth contact is required.

What should I watch for after installing the RACE OPT 48P Spur Gear 82T?

After fitting, run the vehicle slowly to verify gear mesh, listen for abnormal noise, and recheck grub screw tightness after a short test run.

Is POM resistant to moisture and grime?

POM resists moisture better than some plastics, but keeping the gearbox sealed and clean will always help prolong gear life in dirty conditions.

Can this spur be used for both on-road and light off-road models?

Yes, provided the vehicle uses 48-pitch components. For harsher off-road use consider monitoring wear more frequently and protecting the gearbox from ingress.

How do I choose the correct replacement spur tooth count?

Match the original tooth count to maintain final drive ratios, or change the tooth count deliberately if you want to alter acceleration or top speed characteristics.

Any compatibility concerns with common gearboxes?

Most hobby gearboxes that accept 48-pitch spurs will accept this part, but verify shaft diameter and mounting method before purchase to ensure a correct fit.
