Key Features
- Moulded Plastic Construction — The transmission gears are manufactured from durable moulded plastic material, which provides an excellent balance between weight savings and operational durability. This construction method ensures consistent gear tooth profiles and smooth meshing, critical for reliable torque delivery without introducing unnecessary vibration or noise into your crawler's drivetrain.
- Authentic Axial Engineering — As a genuine manufacturer component, this gear set is designed with Axial's extensive crawler development expertise built in. You can trust that the specifications, tolerances and materials have been validated through Axial's rigorous testing processes, ensuring compatibility and performance that aftermarket alternatives may not provide.
- Wide Transmission Compatibility — This gear set is engineered to work seamlessly with Wraith, SCX10 and AX10 transmissions. This broad compatibility means you have flexibility in your platform choice whilst maintaining access to this reliable replacement component, making it an excellent choice for builders with multiple Axial platforms in their collection.
- Essential Drivetrain Maintenance — Over time, transmission gears experience wear from the forces and stresses inherent in crawler driving. This replacement gear set allows you to restore your transmission to factory specifications, maintaining the precise gear ratios and engagement characteristics that keep your crawler performing as intended.
- OEM Quality Assurance — Purchasing genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) components ensures you're getting the exact specifications and quality standards that Axial engineered your vehicle around. This eliminates compatibility questions and performance uncertainties that can arise from using unvalidated third-party alternatives.
Technical Performance
The Scorpion Gear Set represents Axial's commitment to delivering transmission components that perform reliably under the sustained stresses of crawler operation. Crawler driving differs fundamentally from other RC disciplines, demanding transmissions that can deliver consistent torque across varying terrain whilst maintaining precision gear engagement. The moulded plastic construction of these gears has been carefully engineered to provide the optimal balance between weight and durability — light enough to keep your crawler responsive and efficient, yet robust enough to handle the repetitive loading cycles that characterise technical rock crawling and competition driving. The gear design ensures smooth meshing and minimal backlash, which directly translates to improved throttle response, better traction control and more predictable handling characteristics. Whether you're navigating the technical demands of a challenging natural terrain course or competing in structured RC crawler events, maintaining your transmission with quality OEM components like this gear set helps ensure your vehicle responds exactly as designed. The molded plastic material has been selected through Axial's extensive testing to provide consistent performance across temperature ranges and driving conditions commonly encountered by RC crawlers in the UK, ensuring reliable operation whether you're driving in summer heat or winter cold.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What transmissions is the Axial Scorpion Gear Set compatible with? — This gear set is specifically designed to fit and function with Wraith, SCX10 and AX10 transmissions. Before purchasing, verify that your crawler uses one of these transmission platforms. If you're unsure which transmission your model uses, check your vehicle's documentation or contact our expert team for assistance identifying your specific platform.
- When should I replace my crawler's transmission gears? — Transmission gears should be inspected regularly for signs of wear such as chipped teeth, visible damage or a grinding sensation when driving. If you notice delayed throttle response, slipping under load or excessive noise from the transmission area, it may be time to replace your gear set with fresh OEM components. Regular maintenance and prompt replacement of worn gears helps prevent damage to other transmission components.
- Is this suitable for beginners in RC crawlers? — Whilst this is a replacement component rather than a complete transmission, it's an excellent choice for crawler drivers of all experience levels who understand basic vehicle maintenance. If you're new to RC crawlers and aren't confident about transmission maintenance, we recommend consulting our experienced team in store or online — we're happy to provide guidance on installation and maintenance procedures.
- What is the difference between genuine Axial gears and aftermarket alternatives? — Genuine OEM Axial components are engineered and tested specifically for your vehicle, ensuring exact compatibility, appropriate material specifications and proven durability. Aftermarket alternatives may have different tooth profiles, material composition or tolerances that could affect performance, durability or compatibility. Using genuine Axial components guarantees you're getting the exact specifications your transmission was designed around.
- Will this gear set improve my crawler's performance? — If you're replacing worn or damaged gears, fresh OEM components will restore your transmission to its original performance specifications, improving throttle response and reliability. For new transmissions, this gear set provides the foundation for reliable crawler operation. Performance improvements from drivetrain maintenance typically manifest as better responsiveness and more consistent control rather than raw speed increases.
