Overview
The Team Associated AS9653 84T Spur Gear is an essential upgrade and replacement component for serious RC enthusiasts running 48-pitch drivetrain systems. This genuine Team Associated Kimbrough spur gear delivers the precision engineering and reliability that competitive RC drivers demand, whether you're fine-tuning your gearing setup for optimal performance or replacing worn drivetrain components on your 1/10 scale buggy or truck. As a dedicated RC car spare part, the AS9653 represents the gold standard in aftermarket drivetrain upgrades for Team Associated platforms, trusted by hobbyists and racers across the UK and beyond.
Whether you're running a Team Associated B4, T4, B44, B5, B5M, T5M, SC5M, B6, or B6D, this 84-tooth spur gear offers the flexibility to dial in precisely the gearing ratio your setup requires. The 84T configuration provides a larger spur option for applications where this tooth count is specified by the manufacturer or recommended for specific track conditions and driving styles.

Technical Performance
The AS9653 represents the pinnacle of 48-pitch spur gear engineering for 1/10 scale Team Associated buggies and trucks. As a precision-manufactured drivetrain component, this gear delivers consistent meshing with corresponding pinion gears, minimising backlash and maximising power transfer from your motor to the wheels. The 84-tooth spur configuration provides a specific gear ratio that influences your vehicle's acceleration curve and top-speed potential; larger spur gears like the 84T create taller ratios that prioritise top-end speed over initial acceleration, making them ideal for high-speed tracks or situations where maintaining momentum is critical. The Kimbrough manufacturing process ensures uniform tooth profiles, hardened steel construction, and precision tolerances that withstand the rigorous demands of competitive racing and aggressive bashing. Whether you're running a brushless motor system with a modern ESC or a traditional brushed setup, this spur gear integrates seamlessly into your existing drivetrain architecture and contributes to overall system longevity and performance reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this 84T spur gear fit my Team Associated B5M? — Yes, the AS9653 is listed as compatible with the B5M platform. However, it should be noted that the 84-tooth configuration is a relatively large spur for the B5M chassis, so you may wish to consult with experienced B5M tuners or your local RC car shop to confirm this is the right tooth count for your specific application and track conditions.
- What is the difference between the 84T and other spur gear tooth counts? — Spur gear tooth count directly affects your vehicle's final drive ratio and performance characteristics. An 84T spur is considered a large configuration; larger tooth counts create taller gearing that favours top-end speed and efficiency on longer tracks, whilst smaller tooth counts provide quicker acceleration but lower top speed. Your choice depends on your specific track layout, surface conditions, and driving style.
- Is this a genuine Team Associated part or an aftermarket replacement? — The AS9653 is a genuine Team Associated component manufactured by Kimbrough, one of the brand's trusted partners. This ensures you receive OEM-quality engineering and reliability rather than a generic aftermarket copy.
- What platforms can use the AS9653 84T spur gear? — Team Associated confirms compatibility with the B4, T4, B44, B5, B5M, T5M, SC5M, B6, and B6D platforms. If you own a different Team Associated model, please contact our team to confirm compatibility before ordering.
- Can this spur gear be used as a replacement or only as an upgrade? — The AS9653 can serve as either a direct replacement if your vehicle originally came with an 84T spur, or as an upgrade if you're adjusting your gearing setup to suit different track conditions or driving preferences.
- How do I install the AS9653 spur gear? — Installation requires removing the existing spur gear from your vehicle's main shaft and sliding the new 84T gear into position. This is a straightforward maintenance task for experienced RC mechanics; if you're unfamiliar with drivetrain work, our team at RC Model Shop in Walsall is happy to provide guidance or perform the installation for you.
