Overview
The Traxxas Gear Set transmission (TRX7093) is an essential replacement component for owners of 1/16th scale Traxxas models including the Slash, E-Revo, Rally, and Summit ranges. Whether you're a dedicated RC enthusiast in the UK looking to maintain your vehicle's performance or a weekend basher who needs to replace worn transmission gears, this genuine Traxxas spare part is exactly what you need. Transmission gears are subject to wear and tear during regular use, and having access to quality replacement components ensures your RC car UK setup continues to deliver the performance you expect.
This complete transmission gear set comes packed with everything needed to refresh your vehicle's drivetrain, making it an ideal choice for those who want to keep their ready to run RC models performing at their best. Traxxas is recognised worldwide as a leader in RC manufacturing, and their spare parts are engineered to the same exacting standards as their complete vehicles. By choosing genuine Traxxas components, you're investing in reliability, compatibility, and longevity for your RC hobby investment.
The transmission is a critical component in any RC vehicle, responsible for transferring power from the motor to the wheels whilst allowing for gear ratio adjustments that affect acceleration and top speed characteristics. Having a quality spare gear set on hand means you can keep your RC car running smoothly, experiment with different gearing setups for various track conditions, or simply maintain your vehicle in peak condition without worrying about downtime.
Key Features
- Genuine Traxxas Component — This is an authentic Traxxas spare part manufactured to exacting specifications, ensuring perfect compatibility with your 1/16th scale Slash, E-Revo, Rally, or Summit model. Genuine parts guarantee correct fitment and performance that aftermarket alternatives cannot match.
- Complete Transmission Gear Package — The set includes everything required for a full transmission overhaul: 18-tooth input gear, 25-tooth input gear, 13-tooth steel idler gear, 35-tooth output gear, and the necessary M3x13.75 screw pin. This comprehensive package means you have all the components needed in one purchase.
- Steel Idler Gear Construction — The 13-tooth idler gear is manufactured from steel rather than cheaper plastic alternatives, providing superior durability and resistance to wear. Steel construction means your transmission will maintain consistent performance over extended periods of use and handle the stresses of aggressive driving.
- Multiple Input Gear Options — The inclusion of both 18-tooth and 25-tooth input gears allows you to fine-tune your vehicle's performance characteristics. Different gear ratios affect acceleration, top speed, and overall drivability, giving you flexibility to optimise your RC model for different driving conditions and personal preferences.
- 35-Tooth Output Gear — The robust 35-tooth output gear transfers power efficiently to your vehicle's drivetrain, ensuring smooth power delivery and reliable performance across various driving scenarios. This specification maintains the intended performance envelope of your Traxxas model.
- Quality Hardware Included — The M3x13.75 screw pin is included with the gear set, eliminating the need to source additional fasteners and ensuring you have all the correct hardware for proper assembly and secure operation.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Gear Set transmission represents precision engineering applied to RC drivetrain components. The transmission is the heart of your vehicle's power delivery system, and these gears have been designed and manufactured to exacting tolerances that ensure smooth engagement, minimal backlash, and consistent performance. The use of steel for the idler gear is particularly significant; this material choice reflects Traxxas's commitment to durability, as steel gears resist wear far better than plastic alternatives, maintaining gear mesh quality over thousands of operating cycles. The inclusion of multiple input gear options (18-tooth and 25-tooth) reflects the reality that different driving styles and track conditions benefit from different gear ratios. A lower tooth count input gear (18-tooth) provides higher acceleration but lower top speed, whilst the higher tooth count (25-tooth) offers the opposite characteristics. The 35-tooth output gear works in conjunction with these input gears to provide the final drive ratio, and this specification has been selected to deliver the performance characteristics that Traxxas engineered into models like the 1/16th scale Slash 4x4 RTR short course truck, E-Revo VXL brushless monster truck, Rally competition vehicle, and Summit rock crawler. Whether you're running on carpet, dirt, or mixed surfaces, these transmission gears are engineered to handle the demands of RC motorsport. The precision fit and finish of genuine Traxxas components means wear patterns are predictable, parts integrate seamlessly, and your vehicle maintains the performance envelope Traxxas designed it for.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Traxxas models is this transmission gear set compatible with? — This genuine Traxxas spare part is designed for 1/16th scale models including the Traxxas Slash 4x4 RTR short course truck, E-Revo VXL brushless 4x4 RTR monster truck, Traxxas Rally competition vehicle, and Traxxas Summit rock crawler. If you own any of these models, this gear set will fit correctly and maintain your vehicle's performance specifications.
- Why would I need to replace my transmission gears? — Through regular use, especially aggressive driving or off-road bashing, transmission gears gradually wear down. Worn gears can cause noise, loss of efficiency, slipping, or rough power delivery. Replacing them with a fresh gear set restores your vehicle to like-new performance and eliminates drivetrain issues associated with worn components.
- What's the advantage of having both 18-tooth and 25-tooth input gears in one set? — Different driving situations benefit from different gearing. The 18-tooth input gear provides faster acceleration but lower top speed, making it ideal for tight, technical courses or acceleration-focused driving. The 25-tooth input gear delivers better top speed and efficiency on high-speed tracks or open terrain. Having both allows you to experiment and optimise your setup without purchasing multiple gear sets.
- Why is the idler gear made from steel? — Steel idler gears offer significantly better durability and wear resistance compared to plastic alternatives. Since the idler gear supports the mesh between input and output gears and handles considerable forces, steel construction ensures it will maintain its shape and performance characteristics over many operating hours, reducing the frequency of replacement and improving overall reliability.
- How difficult is it to replace transmission gears on my Traxxas model? — Transmission gear replacement is a moderate-level maintenance task that requires basic tools and mechanical knowledge. Traxxas provides detailed instruction manuals with step-by-step guidance for disassembly and reassembly. If you're comfortable performing basic maintenance on your RC car, you should be able to complete this job. Many RC enthusiasts across the UK perform their own maintenance to save costs and maintain familiarity with their vehicles.
- Is this an official Traxxas part? — Yes, this is a genuine Traxxas component with the authentic part number TRX7093. Choosing official Traxxas spare parts ensures compatibility, reliability, and adherence to engineering specifications that keep your vehicle performing as intended.
- Will different input gears affect my vehicle's performance? — Yes, gear ratio changes have noticeable effects on performance. The 18-tooth gear increases acceleration and torque but reduces top speed, whilst the 25-tooth gear does the opposite. Your choice should depend on your driving style, track layout, and performance priorities. Experimentation with both options helps you find the optimal setup for your needs.
- What tools will I need to replace these gears? — You'll need standard RC hobby tools including hex keys (Allen wrenches) in various sizes, possibly a gear mesh tool for proper spacing, and potentially a small hammer or mallet for removing and installing gears. Your Traxxas instruction manual will specify exactly which tools are needed for your particular model.
