Axial has built a reputation for engineering excellence in the RC car UK market, and this spare part is no exception—crafted to deliver reliable performance and smooth power transmission in your rock crawler.
Bevel gears are critical components in any RC car's drivetrain system, responsible for transferring power from the transmission to the wheels whilst allowing for efficient torque delivery and smooth operation. Over time and with regular use, even the highest-quality gears experience wear and may require replacement to maintain optimal performance. The Axial Bevel Gear Set 35/15T provides the exact specification your Yeti JR needs, ensuring compatibility and maintaining the vehicle's original handling characteristics and responsiveness.
RC enthusiasts across the UK trust Axial spare parts because they are manufactured to strict quality standards and undergo rigorous testing. By choosing genuine Axial components, you're investing in the longevity of your RC model and ensuring that your crawler continues to perform at its best, whether you're tackling technical rock gardens, woodland trails, or competitive courses.
Key Features
- Genuine Axial OEM Component — This bevel gear set is manufactured by Axial as original equipment, meaning it meets the exact specifications required for your Yeti JR. Using genuine parts ensures perfect fitment and maintains the integrity of your drivetrain system, avoiding compatibility issues that can arise from aftermarket alternatives.
- 35/15T Gear Ratio Configuration — The 35-tooth and 15-tooth bevel gear pairing is engineered to provide the optimal balance of torque delivery and rotational efficiency for the Yeti JR platform. This specific ratio ensures smooth engagement, reduces mechanical stress on other drivetrain components, and contributes to the legendary crawling performance this model is known for.
- Direct Replacement for Yeti JR Models — Designed specifically for the Axial Yeti JR, this bevel gear set drops straight into your existing build without modification. The precise engineering means no tweaking or adjustment is required, allowing you to get back to driving quickly after installation.
- Durable Construction for Extended Use — Axial bevel gears are manufactured from premium materials selected for their strength and resistance to wear. This construction ensures the gears can handle the demanding loads and stress involved in rock crawling, bashing, and competitive RC driving without premature failure.
- Smooth Power Transmission — Well-engineered bevel gears with proper tooth profile ensure smooth, efficient power transfer from your motor through the drivetrain to the wheels. This smooth engagement reduces vibration, improves overall vehicle handling, and enhances the driving experience for RC car UK enthusiasts of all skill levels.
- Essential Maintenance Component — Regular inspection and replacement of worn drivetrain components is fundamental to RC car maintenance. This bevel gear set allows you to keep your Yeti JR in peak condition, preventing potential damage to other expensive drivetrain parts caused by worn gears grinding together.
Technical Performance
The Axial Bevel Gear Set 35/15T represents the pinnacle of drivetrain engineering for small-scale RC crawlers. Bevel gears work by transferring rotational power at a 90-degree angle, allowing the motor's output to be efficiently converted into wheel rotation. The 35-tooth primary gear paired with the 15-tooth secondary gear creates a mechanical advantage that is perfectly calibrated for the Yeti JR's suspension geometry, motor characteristics, and intended use case. The gear ratio determines how torque is distributed and how quickly the wheels rotate relative to motor speed—this particular configuration has been proven through extensive testing to deliver the ideal balance for rock crawling scenarios where precise throttle control and consistent power delivery are essential. The materials used in these bevel gears have been selected for their hardness and resistance to the repetitive stresses of off-road driving. During operation, the meshing teeth of the bevel gears must engage with absolute precision; any wear or damage compromises this engagement and can lead to slippage, increased friction, noise, and ultimately failure of connected components. The engineering specifications built into this OEM component ensure compatibility with all other drivetrain elements in your Yeti JR, from the motor output shaft to the axle shafts, creating a cohesive system that performs reliably whether you're crawling slowly over rocks or pushing the vehicle harder in bash sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this bevel gear set fit my RC crawler directly? — Yes, the Axial Bevel Gear Set 35/15T is specifically engineered for Axial Yeti JR models and will fit directly without any modifications required. Simply follow your vehicle's manual for the proper installation procedure, and you'll have restored your drivetrain to original specifications.
- How often should I replace my bevel gears? — The replacement interval depends on how frequently you drive your RC car and the intensity of use. Regular inspection is recommended, particularly after heavy use or challenging driving sessions. If you notice grinding sounds, hesitation in power delivery, or visible wear on the gear teeth, it's time to replace them. Preventative maintenance ensures your entire drivetrain remains in optimal condition.
- What symptoms indicate that bevel gears need replacement? — Worn or damaged bevel gears typically produce grinding or clicking noises coming from the drivetrain, exhibit slippage where wheel rotation doesn't match throttle input smoothly, or show visible damage such as chipped or worn teeth when inspected visually. Early replacement prevents cascading failures in connected drivetrain components.
- Is this a genuine Axial part? — Yes, this is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component produced by Axial. The part number Z-AX31494 confirms its authenticity, and purchasing from authorised RC retailers ensures you receive genuine Axial products with full compatibility guarantees.
- Do I need any special tools to install this bevel gear set? — Installation requirements vary slightly depending on your specific Yeti JR model variant. We recommend consulting your vehicle's assembly or maintenance manual for detailed instructions and any specialised tools required. Most installations can be completed with standard RC hobby tools available to enthusiasts.
- Can I use this gear set on other Axial models? — This bevel gear set is specifically designed for the Axial Yeti JR platform. Whilst some Axial components are cross-compatible across their product range, bevel gears are vehicle-specific to maintain proper performance characteristics. Always verify compatibility before installation on any different model.
