- 32 pitch specification — The 32 pitch design features thicker, more robust teeth compared to standard 48 pitch gears, allowing the component to handle significantly greater loads and stresses without stripping or breaking, which is essential for high horsepower applications.
- High-performance plastic construction — Engineered from durable plastic material, this spur gear balances weight savings with exceptional strength, ensuring your RC car maintains optimal performance without unnecessary bulk.
- Purpose-built for Axial vehicles — Specifically designed for Axial RC models, this component integrates seamlessly with Axial drivetrain systems and engineering standards, guaranteeing compatibility and reliable operation.
- Upgrade from stock components — By replacing standard 48 pitch gears with this 32 pitch option, you'll immediately notice improved durability and reliability, particularly under high-load conditions and demanding driving scenarios.
Technical Performance
The AXIAL Spur Gear 32P 56T is engineered to deliver exceptional performance in high horsepower applications where standard components simply cannot cope with the demands placed upon them. The 32 pitch specification represents a substantial upgrade from the more fragile 48 pitch gears, with tooth geometry and material thickness optimised for demanding driving conditions. At 56 teeth, this spur gear provides the ideal balance between durability and performance, delivering smooth power delivery while maintaining exceptional strength under stress. The plastic construction has been refined through years of Axial engineering to ensure it can withstand the rigours of serious RC driving, whether that's competitive racing, weekend bashing, or challenging terrain exploration. For RC enthusiasts operating in the UK market seeking to build a truly reliable drivetrain, this component represents a proven upgrade path with real-world performance benefits. The gear meshes precisely with standard 32 pitch pinions to maintain optimal contact patterns and power transmission efficiency, ensuring that the upgrade translates into tangible improvements in vehicle reliability and longevity rather than merely theoretical gains.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between 32 pitch and 48 pitch spur gears? — The primary difference lies in tooth thickness and overall durability. 32 pitch gears feature significantly thicker, more robust teeth compared to 48 pitch alternatives, making them substantially stronger and capable of handling far greater torque loads. This upgrade is essential for high horsepower RC applications where standard gears would strip or break. The 32 pitch design sacrifices slight increases in top-end speed for dramatically improved reliability and longevity, making it the choice of serious RC enthusiasts who demand maximum drivetrain durability.
- Will this spur gear fit my RC car? — The AXIAL Spur Gear 32P 56T is confirmed compatible with the Axial 1/10 SCX10 II Deadbolt 4WD Brushed RTR model. For other Axial vehicles or different manufacturers' RC cars, you should verify compatibility before purchasing. This component requires a vehicle equipped with 32 pitch drivetrain components and the specified slipper plate and clutch pads for proper installation.
- What additional parts do I need to install this spur gear? — To complete the installation of this spur gear, you will need the AX31026 Slipper Plate and the AX31068 Slipper Clutch Pads. Additionally, you must use a 32 pitch pinion gear to mesh with this spur gear, as mixing pitch sizes will result in poor meshing and drivetrain failure. All three components work together as a system to provide reliable power transmission.
- Is this a genuine Axial part? — Yes, the Z-AX31027 is an official Axial spare part manufactured to exact original specifications. When you purchase this component, you're investing in genuine Axial engineering and quality assurance, ensuring compatibility and reliability with your RC vehicle.
- Why should I upgrade to 32 pitch gears? — If you operate a high horsepower RC vehicle or regularly push your car to its limits, upgrading to 32 pitch gearing provides substantial reliability benefits. The thicker teeth resist stripping and breaking, the stronger construction handles greater torque loads, and the overall drivetrain becomes far more durable. For serious RC enthusiasts in the UK who demand long-lasting performance, this upgrade represents genuine value.
