Technical Performance
The ARRMA CNC Metal Crown Gear 37T represents the transmission engineering that goes into every ARRMA brushless RC vehicle. The CNC manufacturing process cuts each tooth with precision tolerances, eliminating the slight imperfections found in injection-moulded plastic gears and ensuring consistent, smooth power delivery across all driving conditions. Metal construction provides superior wear resistance compared to standard composite gears, meaning this component will maintain its precision even under sustained high-load racing or aggressive bashing. The 37-tooth specification is engineered to work in precise harmony with the 13-tooth input gear (AR310886) and composite differential case (AR310772), creating a transmission system optimised for the 3S and 4S LiPo battery performance envelope that ARRMA's brushless motors are designed around. Whether you're running a 3S 775 brushless motor (as found in many ARRMA RTR models) or upgraded to 4S power, this crown gear maintains the correct gearing ratios for optimal acceleration, top speed, and efficiency. The metal construction also dissipates heat more effectively than plastic alternatives, keeping the transmission cooler during extended running sessions and prolonging overall component lifespan. For UK-based RC enthusiasts running any of the compatible ARRMA brushless models — from the Big Rock monster truck to the Typhon buggy — this crown gear delivers the OEM-specification performance and durability that serious racers and bashers depend on.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does a crown gear do in an RC transmission? — The crown gear (also called a ring gear) is a key component in RC vehicle transmissions that meshes with the input pinion gear and transfers rotational force to the differential assembly. It effectively reduces speed while increasing torque, creating the final drive ratio that determines your vehicle's acceleration and top speed characteristics. In ARRMA's brushless systems, the crown gear works in concert with the input gear to optimise performance across the entire 3S and 4S LiPo power range.
- Why should I choose a metal crown gear over plastic? — Metal crown gears offer significantly superior durability compared to plastic composite alternatives. They resist wear more effectively, maintain precise tooth geometry even under high-load racing conditions, dissipate heat more efficiently, and typically last considerably longer before requiring replacement. If you're a competitive racer or frequent basher, a metal crown gear represents a worthwhile investment in transmission longevity and consistent performance.
- Is this crown gear suitable for both 3S and 4S LiPo batteries? — Yes, this CNC Metal Crown Gear 37T is engineered to work with both 3S and 4S brushless systems in compatible ARRMA vehicles. The 37-tooth specification and metal construction provide the strength and durability needed for the higher torque demands of 4S power, whilst maintaining optimal gearing for 3S systems. Always verify your specific model's compatibility using the fitment list provided.
- How do I know if my crown gear needs replacement? — Signs of crown gear wear include: grinding or metallic noises during acceleration, hesitation or loss of power during hard driving, visible tooth wear or damage when inspecting the gear, and difficulty achieving consistent top speed. If you notice any of these symptoms in your ARRMA brushless RC vehicle, replacement with this genuine OEM part will restore transmission performance.
- Will this improve my RC car's performance? — This is a direct replacement component, not a performance upgrade. If you're installing it as a new part in a vehicle with a worn transmission, you'll experience restoration of original factory performance — smoother acceleration, more consistent power delivery, and elimination of any grinding or slipping noises. For performance modifications, you would need to change the tooth count (different gear ratios), which would require a different part number.
- What other parts do I need to complete a transmission assembly? — To complete a full transmission assembly, you'll require the CNC Metal Input Gear 13T (AR310886) and the Composite Differential Case (AR310772). These three components work together as an integrated system, and all three are necessary for proper function.
