Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a spur gear and why do I need to replace it? — A spur gear is the main drive gear on the chassis that meshes with a pinion gear on the motor shaft, transferring power to the rear axle. Over time, through normal use and racing, spur gears experience wear on their teeth, which can cause noise, loss of power transmission efficiency, and inconsistent handling. The 114T-64P is a direct replacement that restores your drivetrain to like-new condition and maintains the precise final drive ratio necessary for competitive performance.
- What is the difference between 64-pitch and other gear pitches? — Gear pitch refers to the spacing between teeth and is measured in pitches per inch. The 64-pitch specification is the modern standard for on-road RC touring cars, providing fine adjustment capability and smooth power transmission. Different pitches (such as 32P or 48P) are used on different vehicle types like monster trucks and buggies, but the 64P is specifically designed for the precision requirements of on-road racing.
- Can I use this spur gear with different pinion sizes? — Yes, the 114T spur gear can be paired with various pinion tooth counts to adjust your final drive ratio. The final drive ratio determines the relationship between motor speed and rear wheel speed, affecting acceleration and top speed. By selecting different pinion sizes whilst keeping the 114T spur, you can fine-tune your RC car's performance to match specific track layouts or driving styles.
- Is this spur gear suitable for beginners? — Whilst this is a genuine replacement part, it is primarily designed for experienced RC enthusiasts and competitive racers who understand drivetrain maintenance and final drive ratio adjustment. Beginners can certainly use it as a replacement when their original spur gear wears out, but the benefits of fine-tuning gear ratios are most appreciated by drivers with racing experience.
- How often should I replace my spur gear? — Replacement frequency depends on your usage intensity. Casual recreational drivers might replace their spur every 20-30 hours of running, whilst competitive racers may need to inspect and possibly replace theirs every 10-15 hours due to the higher stresses involved in racing. Regular inspection for worn teeth is recommended, and replacement should be done as soon as wear is evident to prevent damage to the meshing pinion gear.
- Why choose genuine Team Associated over aftermarket gears? — Genuine Team Associated components are manufactured to exact specifications using high-quality materials, ensuring precise tolerances and consistent performance. Aftermarket alternatives may be cheaper but often have looser tolerances, resulting in backlash, noise, and unpredictable handling characteristics. For competitive racing, genuine parts provide the reliability and consistency needed to achieve consistent lap times and competitive results.
