Team Associated Octalock Spur Gear 72T 48DP for RC10 Series AS92293

Overview

The Team Associated Octalock Spur Gear 72T 48DP (AS92293) represents the latest advancement in RC car drivetrain technology, introducing an innovative spur gear design that was first launched alongside the RC10B74.1 buggy. This precision-engineered component is essential for RC enthusiasts across the UK who demand reliability, durability and consistent performance from their RC cars. Whether you're a competitive racer fine-tuning your setup or a weekend basher looking to upgrade your existing vehicle, this spur gear delivers the secure engagement and longevity that serious RC hobbyists require.

The Octalock design sets this spur gear apart from conventional designs by incorporating an octagon-shaped interface combined with eight locking tabs per pad. This innovative engineering approach ensures maximum security and engagement between the spur gear and the transmission, reducing slippage and wear over time. For RC car enthusiasts in the UK seeking reliable spares and upgrades, this is a genuine Team Associated component that works seamlessly with a comprehensive range of RC10 series vehicles. The 72-tooth, 48 pitch specification makes this ideal for those looking to make precise gearing adjustments to fine-tune their RC car's acceleration and top speed characteristics.

This replacement part (which supersedes the older AS91809 model) is compatible with a wide range of Team Associated buggy platforms, making it a versatile addition to any RC enthusiast's spares collection. Whether you're maintaining your RC buggy, upgrading to the latest technology, or building a competition-grade setup, the Octalock Spur Gear 72T 48DP delivers the performance and reliability you expect from Team Associated.

Key Features

• Octalock Design with Octagon-Shaped Interface — The distinctive octagon shape provides a geometrically superior connection point compared to traditional round designs, allowing for more even force distribution and reducing point-load stress on the drivetrain components.
• Eight Locking Tabs Per Pad — Each pad features eight individual locking tabs that engage precisely with the spur gear, delivering exceptional security and preventing unwanted slippage during acceleration, deceleration and high-grip cornering situations that are common in competitive RC racing.
• 72-Tooth, 48 Pitch Specification — The precise tooth count and pitch rating allow for fine gearing adjustments, giving RC car builders the ability to optimise acceleration, top speed and overall driveline efficiency to suit different track conditions and driving styles.
• Direct Replacement for AS91809 — This component is designed as a drop-in replacement for the earlier AS91809 model, making upgrades straightforward and hassle-free for existing Team Associated RC car owners across the UK.
• Extended Component Longevity — The combination of the Octalock design and eight locking tabs significantly increases the lifespan of both the spur gear and associated drivetrain components by reducing wear, slippage and gear damage under load.
• Team Associated OEM Quality — As an official Team Associated part, this spur gear meets the same exacting manufacturing standards and quality control procedures that the brand is recognised for throughout the RC car community in the UK and globally.

Technical Performance

The Octalock Spur Gear 72T 48DP represents a significant engineering advancement in RC car drivetrain design. The 72-tooth configuration at 48 pitch delivers precise gear ratios when paired with complementary pinion gears, allowing RC builders to achieve optimal performance characteristics for their specific vehicles and racing conditions. The octagon-shaped interface is not merely aesthetic; it provides superior geometry for load distribution compared to traditional circular designs, which is particularly important when experiencing the high rotational forces generated by brushless motors in modern RC buggies. The eight locking tabs per pad create multiple engagement points that distribute stress evenly across the interface, dramatically reducing the risk of gear slip or damage that can occur with single or dual-tab designs. This engineering approach is particularly valuable for competitive RC racing in the UK where reliability and consistency are paramount. The precise manufacturing tolerances ensure smooth engagement with the pinion gear while maintaining the secure connection that prevents catastrophic drivetrain failure during high-speed running or demanding off-road conditions. Built to Team Associated's rigorous OEM standards, this spur gear is constructed from durable materials engineered to withstand the demanding forces present in modern 1/10-scale RC buggy platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the Octalock design and why does it matter for my RC car? — The Octalock is Team Associated's latest spur gear design, featuring an octagon-shaped interface with eight locking tabs per pad. This design prevents gear slippage, reduces wear on drivetrain components and provides superior durability compared to older single or dual-tab designs. It's particularly valuable if you're running a high-powered brushless motor or competing in competitive RC racing where reliability is critical.
• Will this spur gear fit my RC buggy? — The Octalock 72T 48DP is compatible with a wide range of Team Associated RC10 series vehicles including the B4, B5, B6, B64 and B74 families, plus the SC6.1 short-course truck and T6.1 truck models. Check the complete compatibility list above to confirm your specific model is supported.
• What does the 72T 48DP specification mean? — The 72T refers to the number of teeth on the spur gear, whilst 48DP indicates the diametral pitch, which is a measure of tooth size and spacing. This specification determines the gear ratio when paired with a specific pinion gear, allowing you to fine-tune your RC car's acceleration and top speed characteristics.
• Is this an upgrade from the older AS91809 gear? — Yes, the Octalock Spur Gear 72T 48DP directly replaces the AS91809 and incorporates Team Associated's latest design improvements including the octagon interface and eight locking tabs, delivering better durability and reliability.
• Do I need any other parts to install this spur gear? — The spur gear itself is a standalone component that replaces your existing gear. You'll need basic RC tools to remove the old gear and install the new one, but no additional drivetrain parts are required.
• What is the difference between the Octalock design and traditional spur gears? — Traditional spur gears typically use a circular interface with one or two locking tabs, whilst the Octalock features an octagon shape with eight tabs. This distributes engagement forces more evenly, significantly reducing wear and preventing slippage under demanding conditions like competitive racing or high-grip track surfaces.
