Overview
The ARRMA Input Gear Set: MINI Z-ARA-2672 is an essential replacement component designed specifically for ARRMA's 1/16 scale MINI Kraton 3S brushless monster truck. Whether you are a seasoned RC enthusiast in the UK or someone who is just beginning to explore the exciting world of RC cars, having quality replacement parts on hand is crucial for maintaining peak performance and keeping your vehicle running smoothly during those intense bashing sessions. This precision-engineered gear set represents ARRMA's commitment to delivering durable, high-quality components that can withstand the demanding conditions of extreme RC driving.
As a dedicated RC model retailer serving the UK market, we understand that transmission components like input gears are subject to significant stress and wear during regular use. The ARRMA Input Gear Set is manufactured to exacting standards to ensure it delivers the reliable performance your MINI Kraton demands. Whether you are replacing worn gears after months of thrashing or upgrading as part of a maintenance schedule, this input gear set provides the perfect solution for keeping your brushless RC monster truck in top condition.
This is not just a simple replacement part—it is a precision-manufactured component that has been engineered to maintain the exact tolerances required for smooth, efficient power transmission. The set includes everything you need for a complete input gear installation, making it straightforward for experienced modellers and technicians to perform the replacement themselves.
Key Features
- Metal Construction — The input gears are manufactured from high-quality metal materials that provide exceptional durability and resistance to the wear and tear associated with aggressive RC driving in the UK, whether on grass, tarmac, or more challenging terrain. Metal construction ensures long-lasting performance even under extreme conditions.
- Straight-Cut Tooth Profile — The straight-cut tooth design delivers smooth, efficient power transfer from the motor to the transmission system, reducing noise and vibration whilst maintaining optimal gear mesh alignment during acceleration and deceleration cycles.
- Precision-Manufactured Teeth — Each input gear features exactly 12 precision-manufactured teeth that have been engineered to exact tolerances, ensuring consistent and smooth operation even when your RC monster truck is pushed to its limits in extreme driving conditions.
- Complete Gear Set Package — Rather than purchasing individual components separately, this set includes everything required for a full input gear installation, including both front and rear gears, bearing spacer sleeves, drive pin, and o-ring, saving you time and money.
- OEM Replacement Part — As an official ARRMA replacement component, this input gear set is engineered to the same specifications and quality standards as the original equipment, guaranteeing compatibility and performance with your MINI Kraton 3S brushless truck.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Input Gear Set is engineered with precision manufacturing techniques that ensure smooth operation and exceptional durability during intense RC driving sessions. The metal construction throughout provides superior strength compared to plastic alternatives, meaning these gears can handle the high torque outputs generated by modern brushless motors commonly found in 1/16 scale RC vehicles. The 12-tooth straight-cut design on both the front and rear input gears creates an optimised gear mesh that transmits power efficiently from the motor to the transmission whilst maintaining precise alignment. This level of engineering is essential for performance-oriented RC enthusiasts who demand reliability from their equipment. The inclusion of bearing spacer sleeves ensures proper bearing alignment and support, which is critical for reducing friction and extending the operational life of your transmission system. Whether you are enjoying weekend bashing sessions with your MINI Kraton or participating in more organised RC driving events across the UK, these precision-manufactured components will deliver the reliable performance you depend on.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What ARRMA models is this input gear set compatible with? — The ARRMA Input Gear Set Z-ARA-2672 is specifically designed for the ARRMA 1/16 MINI Kraton 3S brushless monster truck, including all variants of the MINI Kraton 3S with battery and charger bundles. If you own a MINI Kraton 3S in any colour variant, this gear set will be compatible with your vehicle.
- Is this a genuine ARRMA replacement part? — Yes, this is an official ARRMA original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement part, engineered to the same specifications and quality standards as the components fitted to new MINI Kraton 3S vehicles. Purchasing genuine ARRMA parts ensures optimal compatibility and performance.
- Why would I need to replace the input gears on my RC monster truck? — Input gears experience significant wear during regular use of your brushless RC vehicle, particularly if you engage in aggressive driving, frequent acceleration/deceleration, or drive in challenging conditions. Over time, even precision-manufactured teeth can wear down, leading to reduced efficiency, noise, or poor power transmission. Replacing the input gear set when these signs appear will restore your MINI Kraton to like-new performance.
- How difficult is it to install this gear set? — Installation of transmission components requires moderate mechanical skill and access to appropriate tools. Experienced RC modellers and technicians should be able to complete the installation, though if you are unfamiliar with transmission work on brushless RC vehicles, you may wish to seek assistance from your local RC hobby shop or an experienced friend. The complete set includes all components needed for installation.
- What is the difference between the front and rear input gears? — Both the front and rear input gears in this set feature identical 12-tooth specifications and straight-cut tooth profiles, as both drive front and rear differentials in the four-wheel-drive transmission system of the MINI Kraton 3S. The distinction is simply which component is installed at the front versus rear of the vehicle.
