Overview
The Team Associated Rival MT10 Spur Gear 54T 32DP (AS25811) is an essential replacement part for owners of the Rival MT10 RC monster truck platform. Whether you're a serious competitor, weekend basher, or dedicated RC enthusiast in the UK, maintaining your drivetrain with genuine OEM parts is crucial for consistent performance and reliability. This 54-tooth spur gear is precision-engineered to exacting standards and comes complete with a centre differential gasket, making it the perfect choice for routine maintenance, gear mesh restoration, or rebuilding your transmission after normal wear and tear.
Spur gears are critical components in any RC car's drivetrain, directly responsible for transferring power from the motor to the wheels. Over time, teeth can wear down, causing loss of efficiency, increased noise, and poor acceleration response. By replacing your worn spur gear with this genuine Associated component, you'll restore your Rival MT10 to factory specification and ensure smooth, responsive power delivery. This is exactly the kind of quality spare that keeps your RC machine running at its best, whether you're racing competitively or enjoying casual recreational bashing.
As an authorised Associated dealer, RC Model Shop stocks only genuine, factory-original parts for the Rival MT10 range. This spur gear set includes everything you need for a professional rebuild of your drivetrain interface, with the added centre differential gasket ensuring a clean, reliable assembly that eliminates leaks and maintains consistent performance. It's the smart choice for any RC car UK owner who demands quality and reliability from their spares.
Key Features
- 54-Tooth Spur Gear — This specific tooth count is precisely engineered for the Rival MT10 platform and provides the optimal balance of acceleration and top speed for this chassis design, ensuring your truck performs as the manufacturer intended.
- 32DP (Diametral Pitch) Specification — The 32DP rating indicates the gear's pitch diameter and tooth spacing, which must match exactly with your motor pinion gear for smooth, efficient power transfer and to prevent grinding, slipping or premature wear.
- Genuine OEM Quality — Manufactured to factory specifications by Team Associated, this is the exact same component used in original production vehicles, guaranteeing perfect fitment and performance compatibility with your Rival MT10.
- Centre Differential Gasket Included — The complementary centre differential gasket ensures a watertight seal during reassembly, preventing fluid leakage and maintaining the integrity of your differential assembly for consistent performance and extended component lifespan.
- Professional Drivetrain Restoration — This set provides all the essential components needed to refresh your spur gear interface after wear, whether you're performing scheduled maintenance or rebuilding after high-mileage use, restoring correct gear mesh and eliminating backlash.
- Nylon Construction — The spur gear is manufactured from durable nylon material, which offers an excellent balance of strength, durability and noise reduction while being light enough not to add unnecessary weight to your drivetrain assembly.
Technical Performance
The Associated Rival MT10 Spur Gear represents precision engineering at its finest. As a 54-tooth 32DP component, this gear is calculated to work in perfect harmony with your motor's pinion gear, translating rotational force into smooth wheel acceleration with minimal mechanical loss. The nylon construction provides multiple advantages over metal alternatives: it absorbs vibration and operating noise, offers excellent impact resistance during high-stress driving, and won't cause catastrophic damage to your pinion gear if something goes wrong. The included centre differential gasket is equally important—it creates a seal that prevents differential fluid from escaping, which is essential for maintaining proper lubrication and protecting internal components. This is genuine Team Associated manufacturing, meaning every tooth has been precision-cut to exact specifications, ensuring smooth engagement with your motor pinion and eliminating the wear patterns and inefficiencies that develop in worn OEM gears. Whether you're running your Rival MT10 as a competitive racer or an aggressive weekend basher, this spur gear will restore your drivetrain to factory performance standards and keep power delivery smooth and responsive.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a spur gear and why do I need to replace mine? — A spur gear is the main gear that transfers power from your motor to the differential and wheels. Over time, particularly with heavy use, the teeth gradually wear down, becoming rounded and less efficient. This causes loss of acceleration response, increased noise, and can eventually lead to complete drivetrain failure. Replacing your worn spur gear with a fresh 54-tooth unit restores optimal power transfer and brings your Rival MT10 back to factory performance.
- Will this spur gear fit my Rival MT10? — Yes, this is a genuine Team Associated component designed specifically for the Rival MT10 platform. The 54-tooth, 32DP specification is the correct standard for this chassis. However, you should verify your current setup if you have made significant drivetrain modifications, as aftermarket alternatives may use different specifications.
- What does the centre differential gasket do? — The centre differential gasket creates a watertight seal between the differential case and housing, preventing the loss of differential fluid (which lubricates internal components). A worn or missing gasket will result in fluid leaks, inadequate lubrication, and potential differential damage. Replacing it during your spur gear replacement ensures a professional rebuild.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Replacing a spur gear requires moderate mechanical skill and an understanding of your Rival MT10's drivetrain layout. If you've performed basic maintenance before, you should be comfortable with this task. However, if you're new to RC mechanics, consider having an experienced RC enthusiast or your local RC hobby shop perform the installation to ensure correct reassembly and gear meshing.
- How often should I replace my spur gear? — Spur gear lifespan depends on your driving style and frequency. Casual recreational driving might see 6-12 months of use before replacement is necessary, while high-speed racing or aggressive bashing could require replacement every few months. Regular inspection is recommended—if you notice grinding noises or reduced acceleration response, it's time for a replacement.
- What tools do I need to install this spur gear? — Basic RC maintenance tools are required: a small screwdriver set, possibly a small wrench or socket for differential fasteners, and a clean workspace. You may also need differential fluid or sealant depending on your specific rebuild approach. Consult your Rival MT10 manual for detailed installation instructions and torque specifications.
