Overview
The Axial SCX6: 50T Metal Spur Gear Z-AXI252014 is an essential drivetrain spare part designed specifically for owners of Axial's impressive 1/6 scale SCX6 rock crawlers. Whether you own the iconic Jeep JLU Wrangler or the Trail Honcho variant, this precision-engineered metal spur gear is a critical component for maintaining optimal drivetrain performance in your RC rock crawler. As a dedicated RC car UK enthusiast, you'll appreciate the quality engineering that goes into every Axial spare part, ensuring your ready to run RC vehicle continues to deliver the legendary crawling capability that these models are renowned for.
Metal spur gears are fundamental to the drivetrain system in any serious RC vehicle, and the 50-tooth specification is particularly important for the SCX6 platform. This gear works in conjunction with your motor and transmission to deliver power to the wheels, making it a wearing component that will eventually need replacement, especially if you're a regular basher or competitive crawler. The 50T rating affects your vehicle's acceleration, top speed and overall drivetrain efficiency, which is why choosing the correct replacement gear is so important for maintaining your model's performance characteristics.
Purchasing genuine Axial spares like this metal spur gear ensures compatibility with your SCX6 and maintains the engineering integrity of your rock crawler. RC Model Shop stocks this essential spare part to help you keep your beloved model in peak condition, whether you're preparing for competition or simply enjoying weekend bashing at your local club or off-road venue.
Key Features
- Metal Construction — This spur gear is manufactured from hardened metal rather than plastic, which provides superior durability, longevity and resistance to wear compared to standard plastic alternatives, ensuring your drivetrain remains reliable through extended use and demanding terrain.
- 50-Tooth Specification — The 50T tooth count is specifically calibrated for the SCX6 drivetrain architecture, delivering the correct gear ratio for optimal power delivery, acceleration response and crawling torque that these 1/6 scale rock crawlers demand.
- Genuine Axial Component — As an official Axial spare part, this gear is manufactured to the exact same specifications and quality standards as the original equipment fitted to new SCX6 models, guaranteeing perfect fitment and performance compatibility.
- Drivetrain Optimisation — Replacing a worn or damaged spur gear will restore your SCX6's drivetrain performance, eliminate excessive play in the transmission and ensure smooth power delivery to all four wheels during challenging rock crawling scenarios.
Technical Performance
The Axial SCX6: 50T Metal Spur Gear represents precision engineering at its finest. As a metal component, this gear offers substantially greater durability compared to plastic alternatives, with superior resistance to tooth stripping, spalling and wear patterns that develop over time in demanding RC applications. The 50-tooth configuration is specifically engineered for the SCX6's transmission system, which operates as part of a finely-tuned drivetrain that powers one of the most capable 1/6 scale rock crawlers available anywhere in the UK RC hobby market. Metal gears of this specification are essential for maintaining consistent torque delivery, ensuring that power from your brushless motor is transmitted evenly to the wheels with minimal loss or mechanical slack. The manufacturing precision ensures that tooth engagement with the pinion gear remains clean and efficient, reducing noise and heat generation during extended crawling sessions. Whether you're navigating extreme terrain or maintaining your crawler for competition use, this metal spur gear provides the reliability and longevity that serious RC enthusiasts demand from their equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a spur gear and why does my SCX6 need one? — A spur gear is a critical component in your SCX6's drivetrain system that transmits power from the motor to the transmission and ultimately to the wheels. The spur gear meshes with a pinion gear on the motor shaft, and the tooth count (50T in this case) determines your vehicle's acceleration and speed characteristics. Over time, through normal use, these gears can wear, strip teeth or become damaged, requiring replacement to restore proper drivetrain function.
- Will this 50T metal spur gear fit my SCX6? — Yes, this genuine Axial part is specifically designed for compatibility with all SCX6 variants including the Jeep JLU Wrangler 4WD Rock Crawler in both silver and green colours, and the Trail Honcho 4WD models in both sand and red colours. The Z-AXI252014 part number is the correct specification for your SCX6 ready to run RC crawler.
- Why choose a metal gear over a plastic one? — Metal gears offer significantly superior longevity and durability compared to plastic alternatives. They resist tooth stripping, handle higher torque loads, maintain tighter tolerances over extended use, and generate less noise during operation. For serious RC crawlers like the SCX6, metal gears are the preferred choice for competitive and high-frequency recreational use.
- How often do I need to replace my spur gear? — Spur gear lifespan depends on your driving habits, terrain difficulty and maintenance routine. Rocks, sand and mud can accelerate wear patterns, and aggressive driving style will increase replacement frequency. Regular inspection of your gear teeth and prompt replacement when you notice wear is the best approach to maintaining optimal SCX6 performance.
- What tools do I need to fit this gear? — Installation typically requires basic RC tools including hex keys and possibly a gear puller, depending on your SCX6 variant. We recommend consulting the official Axial SCX6 manual or seeking guidance from experienced RC enthusiasts at your local club before attempting drivetrain work if you're new to RC car maintenance.
