This spur gear is intended for RC-scale 48 pitch gear trains and functions as a replacement component for standard 48-pitch drivetrains. It is used within model gearboxes and drivetrains when altering gear ratios or renewing worn items in electric or nitro vehicles.
Fitment requires a matching 48 pitch pinion to secure correct tooth engagement. Set mesh carefully: establish a nominal backlash, rotate the drivetrain manually to confirm smooth interaction, then secure all fixings and verify again after a short running period. Avoid forcing gear engagement and check alignment after initial operation.
Altering spur tooth count will change the overall gear ratio and thus affect acceleration and top speed. Carry out gear changes as part of an organised tuning plan and re-evaluate motor and ESC settings to achieve the desired driving characteristics.
