Your specific choice depends on your driving style and track conditions—higher tooth-count pinions provide more acceleration, whilst lower tooth-count pinions favour top-end speed.
• How often should I replace my spur gear? — Spur gears are wear items that will eventually require replacement depending on frequency of use and driving style. Regular inspection for chipped or worn teeth is recommended. Most recreational drivers find that a quality spur gear like the AS3921 provides many hours of reliable service before needing replacement.
• Can I use this spur gear on other RC cars besides the TC3? — Whilst this part is specifically designed for the TC3, it may be compatible with other Team Associated models and any third-party RC car that uses 48-pitch gears. Always check your vehicle's specifications or consult with RC Model Shop's expert team to confirm compatibility before purchasing.

Higher tooth counts create lower final drive ratios, resulting in more acceleration but lower top speed, whilst lower tooth counts provide higher final ratios with better top-end speed but reduced initial acceleration.
