Key Features
- Powder Metal Construction — The gears are manufactured using powder metal technology, which creates strong, durable components that can withstand the high torque and demanding conditions typical of rock crawling and off-road RC driving. This construction method produces gears with excellent wear resistance and longevity compared to standard materials.
- 32 Pitch Gears — The 32P specification indicates the pitch or tooth fineness of these gears, which affects the gear ratio, torque characteristics, and overall performance delivery. This pitch rating is standard for the Axial Yeti platform and ensures compatibility with all related transmission components.
- 15T and 27T Configurations — The gearset includes multiple tooth count options (15T and 27T), allowing you to achieve the precise gear ratios needed for your specific driving conditions. Different tooth combinations deliver different torque multiplication and top-end characteristics, giving you tuning flexibility.
- Hardened Steel Shaft — The included hardened steel shaft provides exceptional strength and resistance to bending or breaking under load. Steel shafts are critical drivetrain components that must withstand constant rotational forces, and hardened steel delivers superior durability compared to standard materials.
- T-Case Configuration — The T-case or transfer case design in the Yeti transmits power and allows for the sophisticated four-wheel-drive performance that makes Yeti models legendary in the RC rock crawling community. This gearset restores full T-case functionality for optimal vehicle dynamics.
- OEM Axial Component — As an official Axial part, this gearset is manufactured to the exact specifications and quality standards that Axial established for the Yeti platform, ensuring perfect compatibility and reliable performance without modification.
Technical Performance
The Axial T-Case GearSet represents precision engineering designed specifically for the demands of rock crawling and off-road RC driving. The powder metal construction provides an optimal balance between strength and weight, delivering gears that can handle the sustained torque output required by serious crawlers and scale models without adding unnecessary bulk to your transmission. The hardened steel shaft included with this gearset is treated to resist the constant rotational stresses and occasional shock loads that occur during technical crawling sessions, ledge drops, and challenging terrain navigation. The 32 pitch specification works in harmony with the 15T and 27T tooth configurations to establish gear ratios that have been proven effective on Axial Yeti platforms. These ratios are calibrated to provide excellent low-end torque for climbing steep obstacles and precise wheel articulation, whilst maintaining adequate top-end speed for transitional terrain and faster sections. The gearset's engineering ensures smooth power delivery to all four wheels, which is essential for maintaining traction and control on uneven surfaces typical of UK off-road crawling events and bashers. Quality spare parts like this gearset are fundamental to maintaining peak performance from your RC investment and ensuring your vehicle responds predictably across a wide range of driving scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the T-Case gearset and why would I need to replace it? — The T-case (transfer case) is a critical component of the Yeti's transmission system that distributes power to the wheels and enables four-wheel-drive functionality. Over time with regular use, gears can wear, crack, or strip teeth, reducing performance and reliability. Replacing the T-case gearset restores your vehicle to original performance specifications and prevents further transmission damage.
- Is this gearset compatible with all Axial Yeti models? — This gearset (Z-AX31131) is specifically designed for compatible Axial Yeti RC models. You should verify your specific Yeti variant's part compatibility before ordering, as some Yeti generations may use slightly different transmission components. Checking your vehicle's documentation or contacting RC Model Shop will ensure you have the correct part.
- What does 32 pitch mean? — Pitch refers to the fineness or tooth density of the gear teeth. 32 pitch gears have more teeth per unit of distance compared to lower pitch numbers, resulting in smoother mesh, quieter operation, and different torque characteristics than coarser pitches. The 32P specification is standard for the Yeti platform and provides the optimal balance of performance for rock crawling.
- What do the 15T and 27T numbers mean? — These numbers indicate the tooth count on each individual gear. The 15T has 15 teeth and the 27T has 27 teeth. Different combinations of these tooth counts create different overall gear ratios, affecting how much torque multiplication occurs and how the vehicle performs at different speeds and on different terrain types.
- Can a beginner install this gearset themselves? — Installing a T-case gearset requires moderate mechanical skill, proper tools, and knowledge of transmission assembly. Beginners should consider having experienced RC technicians perform this installation to ensure proper alignment, correct assembly order, and optimal performance. RC Model Shop can recommend experienced RC shops or hobbyists if you need assistance with installation.
- What are powder metal gears better than standard gears? — Powder metal construction creates exceptionally strong gears through a sintering process that compresses metal powders under heat and pressure. This method produces gears with superior wear resistance, higher strength-to-weight ratios, and excellent durability under the high-torque demands of rock crawling compared to traditional machined steel gears.
