Team Associated TC3 72 Tooth 48 Pitch Spur Gear AS3922

Overview

The Team Associated TC3 72 Tooth Spur Gear AS3922 is an essential drivetrain component designed for serious RC enthusiasts running Team Associated TC3 chassis. This 72-tooth, 48-pitch Kimbrough spur gear serves as the perfect replacement when maintaining your RC car UK or refreshing worn transmission components that have seen action on the track or in off-road conditions. Whether you're competing in races or enjoying recreational bashing, having genuine OEM replacement gears in your spares collection ensures consistent performance and reliability.

As a standard kit gear supplied by Associated, the AS3922 provides a straightforward, no-nonsense solution for gear maintenance. When drivetrain components wear over time—which is inevitable with regular use—replacing them with genuine Associated parts maintains the exact specifications and tolerances that your TC3 was engineered to use. This is a critical consideration for anyone serious about RC hobby performance, as incorrect gearing can compromise acceleration, top speed and overall handling characteristics of your ready to run RC vehicle or race setup.

The Kimbrough designation indicates this gear meets the quality standards expected in competitive RC racing environments across the UK and beyond. For TC3 owners, having this 72-tooth spur gear as a backup ensures you're never stuck without a critical spare part when you need it most.

Key Features

• 72 Tooth Configuration — The 72-tooth count is precisely engineered to provide the correct gear ratio for TC3 chassis, directly affecting your vehicle's acceleration, top speed balance and overall drivetrain efficiency.
• 48 Pitch (48DP) Specification — The 48-pitch rating ensures perfect mesh compatibility with your TC3 pinion gear, maintaining smooth power transfer and minimising wear across the drivetrain system.
• Kimbrough Standard Kit Gear — Supplied as a standard kit component, this gear meets the exact specifications and tolerances required for TC3 models, guaranteeing reliability and consistency.
• Direct Associated OEM Part — Being an official Associated part number AS3922 means you're purchasing genuine, quality-controlled component rather than aftermarket alternatives that may compromise performance.
• Essential Replacement Spare — Spur gears are wear items in RC cars, and having genuine replacements available ensures you can maintain peak performance and keep your TC3 running at its best throughout the season.

Technical Performance

The AS3922 spur gear represents precision engineering specifically designed for the Team Associated TC3 platform. At 72 teeth with 48-pitch specification, this gear is calibrated to deliver the optimal balance between acceleration and top-end speed for TC3 racing and recreational use. The Kimbrough designation indicates manufacturing standards suitable for competitive environments, where gear durability and precision mesh are non-negotiable. As a wear item in RC drivetrains, spur gears naturally experience tooth degradation over extended running periods, making regular replacement a necessary part of RC car maintenance. The AS3922 maintains the exact specifications your TC3 requires, ensuring that when you fit this replacement gear, you're restoring your vehicle to factory performance standards rather than experimenting with non-standard alternatives that could introduce vibration, noise or drivetrain inefficiency.

It's designed for TC3 owners who understand their chassis and are comfortable performing maintenance and upgrades. If you're new to RC and own a TC3, this is a wise spare to have available, though you may want to ask experienced TC3 owners or your local RC hobby shop staff for installation guidance.
