Overview
The Axial 48P 26T Transmission Gear (Z-AX31409) is an essential replacement component for RC enthusiasts running the Axial SCX10 II platform. This genuine Axial spare part has been engineered to deliver reliable performance in demanding crawling and off-road conditions. Whether you're a competitive RC car UK competitor or a dedicated weekend basher, having quality transmission gears in your spares box is crucial for maintaining peak performance and minimising downtime on the trail or course.
Built from powder steel for exceptional durability, this transmission gear is specifically designed to handle the torque demands of modern 1/10 scale RC crawlers and rock crawling vehicles. The SCX10 II remains one of the most popular ready to run RC platforms in the UK and globally, thanks to its superior articulation, traction and scalability. This 48P 26T configuration provides the exact gear ratio and pitch specifications your SCX10 II requires to maintain factory performance standards.
As a genuine Axial part, you can be confident that this component will integrate seamlessly with your existing transmission system. Unlike counterfeit or incompatible alternatives, the Z-AX31409 is engineered to OEM specifications, ensuring proper mesh engagement, minimal backlash and extended service life. This is the spare part trusted by Axial SCX10 II owners across the RC car hobby in the UK and beyond.
Key Features
- Powder Steel Construction — This transmission gear is manufactured from powder steel, which provides superior strength and durability compared to standard brass or nylon alternatives. Powder steel maintains its dimensional integrity under repeated stress cycles, making it ideal for high-torque RC applications where reliability matters most.
- 48P Pitch Specification — The 48-pitch (48P) designation indicates the precision gear tooth profile, which ensures smooth, quiet meshing with compatible transmission components. This fine pitch specification reduces noise and vibration whilst improving overall transmission efficiency in your RC crawler.
- 26-Tooth Configuration — The 26-tooth (26T) count delivers the correct gear ratio for SCX10 II drivetrain operation. This tooth count has been specifically selected by Axial engineers to balance torque delivery, speed capabilities and load handling for scale crawling performance.
- Genuine Axial Component — As an official Axial part, this gear carries the confidence of being manufactured to exacting OEM standards. You're not purchasing a clone or third-party alternative; you're getting the exact component Axial designed for the SCX10 II transmission system.
- SCX10 II Compatibility — This transmission gear has been engineered specifically for the Axial SCX10 II 1/10 scale 4WD crawler platform. It is not compatible with earlier generation AX10 transmissions, so ensure you're running an SCX10 II before ordering.
Technical Performance
The Axial 48P 26T Transmission Gear represents the pinnacle of transmission component engineering for 1/10 scale RC rock crawlers. Constructed from powder steel rather than plastic or inferior materials, this gear exhibits exceptional wear resistance and maintains accurate tooth profiles even after extended use in abrasive, muddy or sandy conditions typical of UK trail courses. The 48-pitch specification indicates a finely-calibrated tooth design that meshes precisely with compatible pinion and ring gears in your SCX10 II drivetrain. This precision manufacturing minimises the backlash (looseness) between gear teeth, which directly improves throttle response, reduces noise, and enhances overall drivetrain efficiency. The 26-tooth count has been optimised by Axial's engineering team to deliver the ideal balance between torque multiplication and speed capability for realistic scale crawling performance. The powder steel material composition resists deformation under the intense loads generated by high-grip tyres and aggressive terrain, ensuring this component will outlast many crawling seasons with proper maintenance.
What's in the Box
- 1x Axial 48P 26T Transmission Gear (Z-AX31409)
Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Axial 48P 26T Transmission Gear compatible with my AX10? — No, this component is specifically designed for the SCX10 II platform and is not compatible with earlier generation AX10 transmissions. Ensure you own an Axial SCX10 II before purchasing this spare part.
- Why would I need to replace my transmission gear? — Transmission gears experience wear over time through normal use, particularly in high-traction situations or aggressive crawling. Worn gears exhibit increased backlash, produce grinding noises, and reduce drivetrain efficiency. Replacing worn gears restores your SCX10 II to factory performance standards.
- Is this a genuine Axial part? — Yes, the Z-AX31409 is a genuine Axial component manufactured to OEM specifications. It carries the official Axial part number and is sourced directly from authorised distributors, ensuring authenticity and quality assurance.
- What makes powder steel gears superior to plastic alternatives? — Powder steel construction provides significantly greater strength, durability and wear resistance compared to nylon or plastic gears. Whilst heavier, steel gears maintain their dimensional accuracy over thousands of crawling cycles and resist deformation under high-torque loads that would damage plastic components.
- Do I need any tools to install this gear? — You will need basic RC maintenance tools including hex drivers, screwdrivers and potentially gear pullers, depending on your transmission configuration. It's advisable to consult your SCX10 II manual for specific installation guidance.
