Technical Performance
The Losi Spur Gear & Slipper Pads 48p 84t represents precision engineering at the heart of your Losi 22S vehicle's drivetrain. The 48-pitch specification combined with the 84-tooth configuration creates an optimal gear ratio that balances acceleration response with top-end speed capability, allowing your RC vehicle to achieve smooth, linear power delivery throughout its performance envelope. The integrated slipper pads work in conjunction with your vehicle's slipper clutch mechanism to provide progressive load-shedding during extreme driving conditions—whether you're executing aggressive cornering manoeuvres, launching off jumps, or performing high-speed drifting—protecting your brushless motor and transmission components from sudden shock loads that could cause damage or failure. The precision-machined teeth are designed to mesh perfectly with your pinion gear, creating minimal backlash and noise whilst maximising power transfer efficiency. Manufactured from high-strength materials selected specifically for durability in competitive and recreational RC driving scenarios, this replacement assembly ensures your Losi 22S vehicle maintains its factory performance characteristics and reliability. Regular inspection and replacement of worn spur gears and slipper pads is a fundamental maintenance practice for serious RC enthusiasts who understand that drivetrain health directly impacts vehicle performance, handling characteristics, and overall dependability.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a spur gear and why do I need to replace it? — The spur gear is the primary component that transfers power from your motor's pinion gear to your vehicle's transmission and wheels. Over time, especially with aggressive driving, racing, or heavy bashing, spur gears can wear down, strip teeth, or become damaged, leading to poor acceleration, slipping, and potential damage to other drivetrain components. Replacement is essential for maintaining peak performance.
- What are slipper pads and what do they do? — Slipper pads are friction materials integrated into your spur gear assembly that work with your vehicle's slipper clutch mechanism. They allow controlled slippage under extreme load conditions—such as hard cornering, jumping, or aggressive acceleration—to protect your motor and transmission from sudden shock damage whilst maintaining smooth power delivery.
- How do I know if my spur gear needs replacing? — Signs of wear include grinding or clicking noises from the drivetrain, visible damage or stripped teeth on the gear, loss of acceleration, noticeable slippage during hard driving, or difficulty achieving top speed. Regular inspection after intensive driving sessions will help you identify wear early.
- Is this compatible with my Losi 22S vehicle? — Yes, this spur gear and slipper pad assembly is specifically engineered for Losi 22S series vehicles and represents a direct replacement part requiring no modifications or additional components for installation.
- What is the difference between 48-pitch and other pitch specifications? — Pitch refers to the tooth size and spacing of the gear; 48-pitch is a standard specification for Losi 22S vehicles and determines compatibility with your pinion gear and transmission system. Using the correct pitch specification is essential for proper meshing and performance.
- Can I use this spur gear on other RC brands? — No, this component is specifically designed for Losi 22S series vehicles. Using incompatible gears can result in poor meshing, noise, slippage, and potential damage to your drivetrain. Always use genuine Losi parts for your Losi vehicle.
- How often should I replace my spur gear? — Replacement frequency depends on your driving style and intensity. Competitive racers and aggressive bashers may need replacements every few months, whilst casual users might go 6-12 months between replacements. Regular inspection is the best way to determine when replacement is necessary.
