Technical Performance
The Traxxas Spur 46-tooth (1.0 metric pitch) TRX6447 is engineered with precision to deliver reliable performance in demanding driving conditions. As a drivetrain spare part, this spur gear plays a crucial role in the power delivery chain of your RC model, converting rotational force from the motor into forward motion through the vehicle's wheels. The 46-tooth count combined with the 1.0 metric pitch specification means this gear is designed for use in vehicles where a balanced approach to acceleration and top speed is desired. Different tooth counts allow RC enthusiasts to fine-tune their vehicles: lower tooth counts typically favour higher top speeds with reduced acceleration, while higher tooth counts increase acceleration at the expense of top speed. The 46-tooth configuration sits in the middle ground, making it versatile for various running conditions. The gear ratio achieved when pairing this spur gear with a compatible pinion gear determines the overall performance character of your vehicle, so consulting your owner's manual for recommended gearing options specific to your model is essential. This genuine Traxxas component is manufactured from high-quality materials selected for their durability and wear resistance, ensuring this spur gear can handle repeated bashing and racing without premature tooth wear or failure.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What models is the Traxxas Spur 46-tooth TRX6447 compatible with? — This spur gear is designed for use with the Traxxas WideMaxx Monster Truck range, including the TRX89086-4-RNR (Rock N Roll), TRX89086-4-GRN (Green), and TRX89086-4-RED (Red) variants. Always check your vehicle's manual to confirm compatibility before installation, as using incorrect gear sizes can damage your drivetrain.
- Why would I need to change my spur gear? — Changing your spur gear allows you to tune the performance characteristics of your RC car without expensive motor upgrades. A different tooth count changes the gear ratio, which affects how your vehicle accelerates and reaches top speed. Experimenting with different spur gear sizes is a cost-effective way to optimise your setup for different running conditions, terrains, or driving styles. Whether you want quicker acceleration for tight tracks or higher top speed for open areas, swapping the spur gear can make a real difference.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — This is a spare part rather than a complete vehicle, so it's ideal for anyone already running a compatible Traxxas model who wants to experiment with performance tuning. If you're new to RC and looking to understand gear ratios, this is an excellent learning tool. However, you'll need a compatible vehicle and some mechanical knowledge to install it properly. We recommend consulting your vehicle's owner's manual for detailed installation instructions.
- What is the difference between this 46-tooth spur gear and other tooth counts? — Spur gears come in different tooth counts, each affecting your vehicle's performance. The 46-tooth configuration offers a balanced approach to both acceleration and top speed. Lower tooth counts (like 40 or 42) allow higher top speeds but reduce acceleration, making them better for open tracks. Higher tooth counts (like 50 or 52) increase acceleration but reduce top speed, making them better for tight technical courses. The 46-tooth represents a middle-ground option suitable for general driving and testing.
- How do I install the spur gear? — Installation procedures vary depending on your specific Traxxas model. Please consult your vehicle's owner's manual for detailed installation instructions, as improper installation can damage your drivetrain. Generally, you'll need to remove the transmission cover, carefully remove the old spur gear, and install the new one ensuring it meshes correctly with the pinion gear. Proper mesh alignment is crucial for smooth operation and longevity.
- Will this improve my RC car's performance? — This spur gear allows you to tune your vehicle's performance, but it won't necessarily improve it — rather, it allows you to optimise it for your specific needs. By selecting the right tooth count for your running conditions, you can achieve better performance for your particular use case. Some users report improved handling and responsiveness after finding the optimal gear ratio for their driving style.
