Technical Performance
The Losi 40T Spur Gear (Mod 1) represents precision engineering designed specifically for the Ten-SCTE 1.0 short course truck platform. This spur gear is a critical component in the drivetrain system, responsible for transferring power from the motor through the transmission to the wheels. The 40-tooth configuration provides an optimised gear ratio specifically calibrated for the Ten-SCTE 1.0's performance envelope, balancing acceleration with top speed capability. As a Module 1 gear, it features precisely manufactured tooth geometry that ensures smooth, efficient meshing with the pinion gear during acceleration, deceleration, and cruising phases. The spur gear operates under significant mechanical stress during RC racing and recreational driving, experiencing constant rotational forces and shock loading during aggressive acceleration and cornering manoeuvres. Losi has engineered this gear using materials and manufacturing processes proven in competitive short course truck racing environments across the UK and internationally. The gear's tooth profile is designed to distribute mechanical loads evenly, reducing stress concentration points that could lead to premature wear or tooth breakage. Regular maintenance and timely replacement of worn spur gears is essential for maintaining your Ten-SCTE 1.0's performance and extending the lifespan of your entire drivetrain system.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a spur gear and why do I need to replace mine? — A spur gear is a critical drivetrain component in your RC short course truck that transfers power from the motor to the wheels. Spur gears experience constant wear during regular use because they continuously mesh with the pinion gear during acceleration, deceleration, and cruising. Over time, the teeth become worn or damaged from repeated shock loading, high-speed rotation, and the mechanical stresses of competitive racing or aggressive bashing. When your spur gear becomes excessively worn, you may notice reduced acceleration response, loss of top speed, increased drivetrain noise, or sluggish performance from your RC car. Replacing the spur gear with a genuine Losi part ensures your Ten-SCTE 1.0 returns to factory performance specifications.
- Will this spur gear fit my Losi Ten-SCTE 1.0? — Yes, the Z-LOSB3436 is an official OEM Losi spare part manufactured to factory specifications for the Ten-SCTE 1.0 platform. This guarantees perfect compatibility with no modifications needed. The Module 1 specification and 40-tooth configuration are engineered precisely for this model.
- How often should I replace my spur gear? — The replacement frequency depends on your usage patterns. Regular recreational drivers might replace their spur gear once or twice per season, while competitive racers who run multiple times per week may need replacement every few months. Inspect your gear regularly for worn or damaged teeth, and replace it before damage becomes severe enough to affect drivetrain performance or damage other components.
- What is the difference between a 40-tooth spur gear and other tooth counts? — Different tooth counts create different gear ratios that affect your RC car's acceleration and top speed characteristics. A 40-tooth spur gear like this one is specifically engineered for the Ten-SCTE 1.0 and provides the manufacturer's recommended balance for this platform. Higher tooth counts (like 50T or 60T) would lower acceleration but increase top speed potential, whilst lower counts would increase acceleration at the expense of top speed.
- Is this suitable for both racing and recreational driving? — Yes, this genuine Losi spur gear is designed for all driving styles on the Ten-SCTE 1.0 platform, from competitive short course truck racing to weekend recreational bashing. Whether you're competing in organised RC races or enjoying casual driving around your local terrain in the UK, this gear will perform reliably.
