Technical Performance
The AXIAL Dig Cog & Plate (LCXU) represents precision engineering at the heart of your RC model's drivetrain system. As a drivetrain component, this cog and plate assembly is responsible for efficient power transmission from your motor through the gearbox to your wheels. The dig cog features precision-cut teeth that mesh smoothly with corresponding gears in your LCXU model's transmission, while the plate provides structural support and ensures proper alignment of all drivetrain elements. AXIAL's commitment to quality engineering means these components are manufactured from durable materials selected to withstand the stresses of repeated acceleration, deceleration, and load transfers that occur during normal RC operation. Whether you're running a high-torque brushless motor system or pushing your RC car to high speeds, the integrity of drivetrain components like this dig cog and plate is essential for maintaining smooth power delivery and preventing mechanical failure. The precision manufacturing process ensures tight tolerances between the cog teeth and meshing gears, which is crucial for eliminating backlash and maximising efficiency in your RC model's powertrain.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a dig cog and plate, and why do I need to replace it? — The dig cog and plate are essential drivetrain components in your AXIAL LCXU model that work together to transmit power from the motor through the transmission system. Over time, the teeth on the cog can wear down from repeated engagement and disengagement, and the plate can become damaged or bent from impacts or normal use. Replacing these components restores your model's drivetrain efficiency and prevents further damage to other transmission parts, ensuring your RC car continues to perform smoothly and reliably.
- Is this part compatible with all AXIAL models? — No, this Dig Cog & Plate is specifically designed for LCXU platform models. Always verify your model number before purchasing to ensure compatibility. Installing the wrong drivetrain component can result in poor meshing, noise, and potential damage to your transmission system.
- How difficult is it to replace the dig cog and plate? — Replacement difficulty depends on your mechanical experience with RC models. The dig cog and plate are typically accessed through the transmission housing, which may require partial disassembly of your model. If you're experienced with RC maintenance and have the appropriate tools and workspace, this is a straightforward task. However, if you're new to RC model maintenance, you may want to seek assistance from an experienced RC technician or visit your local RC hobby shop for professional installation.
- How often should I replace my dig cog and plate? — The lifespan of these components depends on how frequently you run your RC model and the conditions in which you operate it. Heavy use, high-speed running, and extreme terrain can accelerate wear. Inspect your drivetrain components regularly, and replace them when you notice tooth wear, movement, or any grinding sounds during operation. Regular inspection during routine maintenance prevents unexpected drivetrain failure during driving sessions.
- Can I upgrade to a performance version of this component? — This description covers the standard OEM AXIAL component. AXIAL and aftermarket manufacturers may produce performance or upgraded versions of drivetrain components. Contact RC Model Shop to enquire about alternative options that may be compatible with your LCXU model if you're interested in performance upgrades.
