Overview
The Traxxas Gear Set, metal (for 2065R waterproof sub-micro servo) TRX2064R is an essential replacement or upgrade component for RC enthusiasts who demand superior durability and reliability in their sub-micro servo systems. This metal gear set is specifically engineered to work with the 2065R waterproof sub-micro servo, delivering the robust performance that serious RC car UK hobbyists expect from Traxxas. Whether you're running an RC crawler on challenging terrain or need dependable steering control on your ready to run RC truck, this metal gear upgrade transforms your servo's longevity and driving experience.
Sub-micro servos are critical components in compact RC vehicles, particularly in 1/18 scale trail trucks where space is at a premium but performance cannot be compromised. The metal construction of this gear set represents a significant upgrade from standard plastic alternatives, providing enhanced resistance to wear, stress and the demanding conditions that RC bashers and trail runners encounter. If you're piloting a TRX-4M Ford Bronco, TRX-4M Land Rover Defender, or any other 1/18 scale Traxxas model equipped with the 2065R servo, upgrading to this metal gear set is a smart investment in longevity and consistent performance.
Designed and manufactured by Traxxas, a globally recognised authority in RC vehicles and components, this gear set reflects decades of engineering expertise. The metal gears provide superior durability compared to plastic alternatives, meaning less wear over time, reduced maintenance requirements, and ultimately better value for money. For RC hobbyists across the UK seeking to maximise their equipment's lifespan and ensure their steering systems perform reliably in both on-road and off-road conditions, this is a worthwhile upgrade.
Key Features
- All-Metal Gear Construction — The primary advantage of this gear set lies in its full metal construction, which dramatically outperforms plastic gears in terms of durability, wear resistance and longevity. Metal gears distribute loads more evenly and resist the stresses that cause plastic gears to crack, strip or fail under sustained use, making this upgrade essential for serious RC enthusiasts.
- Direct Compatibility with 2065R Waterproof Sub-Micro Servo — These gears are engineered specifically for the Traxxas 2065R servo, ensuring perfect fitment and optimal performance. This precision engineering means no modifications or adjustments are needed; installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic servo maintenance.
- Enhanced Durability for Trail Trucks and Crawlers — The metal construction makes this gear set particularly valuable for RC trail trucks like the TRX-4M series, where servos face constant stress from steering inputs, rocky terrain and challenging driving conditions. Metal gears simply last longer under these demanding circumstances.
- Waterproof Servo Compatibility — The 2065R servo that this gear set supports is fully waterproof, meaning you can confidently take your RC crawler through water crossings and wet terrain. The upgraded metal gears ensure this waterproof capability is paired with exceptional mechanical reliability.
- Maintains Original Servo Performance Specifications — This gear upgrade retains the 25T output spline configuration and preserves the servo's impressive 30 oz-in of torque and rapid 0.18 sec/60° transit time at 6 volts, meaning you get durability improvements without any compromise to steering response.
Technical Performance
The 2065R waterproof sub-micro servo is engineered to deliver impressive performance in compact 1/18 scale RC vehicles, and this metal gear set ensures that performance is maintained consistently over extended use. With 30 oz-in of torque, this servo provides sufficient steering authority for trail trucks, crawlers and off-road RC cars that demand precise, responsive control. The 0.18 sec/60° transit time at 6 volts indicates rapid steering input response, crucial for navigating tight trails and technical terrain. The 25T output spline is the standard configuration for this servo class, and these replacement metal gears are precision-manufactured to maintain perfect mesh and alignment. Built from durable metal rather than plastic, these gears experience significantly less fatigue and deformation under the repetitive stress of servo operation. Whether you're undertaking aggressive rock crawling, high-speed trail bashing, or recreational off-road RC driving, the metal construction ensures your servo remains reliable season after season. The waterproof 2065R servo paired with these metal gears creates a steering system capable of handling the demands of serious RC enthusiasts who refuse to compromise on durability or performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this metal gear set compatible with all Traxxas servos? — No, this gear set is designed specifically for the Traxxas 2065R waterproof sub-micro servo. The 25T output spline and internal dimensions are engineered exclusively for this servo model, so it will not fit other Traxxas servo models. Always verify your current servo model before ordering replacement gears.
- How much does upgrading to metal gears improve durability? — Metal gears significantly outperform plastic alternatives in durability and longevity. Plastic gears are prone to cracking, stripping and deformation under sustained stress, whilst metal gears resist these forms of failure. For RC enthusiasts who use their vehicles regularly, upgrading to metal gears typically extends servo lifespan by several seasons and reduces the need for replacements.
- Can I install this metal gear set myself? — Yes, if you have basic servo maintenance knowledge and appropriate tools. However, servo work requires care and precision. If you're uncomfortable disassembling servos, many RC clubs and specialist retailers in the UK offer servo servicing and gear replacement as a paid service. RC Model Shop's experienced team can also advise you on installation if needed.
- What is the 2065R servo, and what is it used for? — The 2065R is a waterproof sub-micro servo designed for compact RC vehicles, particularly 1/18 scale models like the Traxxas TRX-4M range. Sub-micro servos are ideal for small-scale RC cars where space is limited but reliable steering control is essential. The waterproof rating makes the 2065R suitable for wet terrain, water crossings and challenging outdoor conditions.
- Does upgrading gears affect servo speed or torque? — No, replacing gears with this genuine Traxxas metal set maintains the servo's original performance specifications. You'll retain the same 30 oz-in torque output and 0.18 sec/60° transit time. The upgrade improves durability and longevity, not performance characteristics.
- What RC vehicles use the 2065R servo? — The 2065R waterproof sub-micro servo is used in Traxxas 1/18 scale models including the TRX-4M Ford Bronco (available in black, white, Area 51, blue, red and orange colour options) and the TRX-4M Land Rover Defender (available in silver, tan, black, green, light blue and pink). These are ready to run RC crawlers and trail trucks that require compact, waterproof steering control.
