Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the AS41007 the correct pinion gear for my Associated CR12? — The AS41007 is the designated input pinion gear for the CR12 platform. However, we always recommend referring to your model's manual to confirm that this is the correct part number for your specific vehicle configuration, as there may be variations depending on when your model was manufactured or any special editions you may own.
- What happens if my pinion gear is worn or damaged? — A worn or damaged pinion gear will cause grinding noises, poor power transmission, and reduced performance from your RC car. The teeth may become stripped or chipped, preventing proper engagement with the spur gear. Replacing it with this genuine Associated part will restore your vehicle's drivetrain to full working order.
- How often do I need to replace my pinion gear? — The lifespan of a pinion gear depends on how heavily you use your RC car UK. Regular bashing and racing will cause more wear than casual weekend driving. Inspect your pinion gear regularly for signs of wear, and replace it when you notice teeth damage, stripping, or unusual noises coming from the drivetrain.
- Can I use an aftermarket pinion gear instead of the genuine Associated part? — Whilst aftermarket options may be available, genuine Associated parts are engineered to exact specifications and are guaranteed to fit and function perfectly with your CR12. Using genuine spares also helps preserve your vehicle's warranty and resale value if you ever decide to sell or trade your RC car.
- Where can I find the part number on my Associated CR12? — You can find parts reference information in your CR12's instruction manual, which lists all compatible spares and their associated part numbers. This ensures you order exactly the right component for your specific model variant.
