Technical Performance
The Fastrax 9T & 26T Gears deliver the mechanical precision required for reliable nitro engine starting. The 9-tooth pinion gear and 26-tooth crown gear work together to create a gear reduction that multiplies torque while managing rotational speed, ensuring your Torque Start system can reliably engage and spin your nitro engine for ignition. These gears are designed to handle the rotational forces generated during repeated starting cycles without stripping or failing. The specific tooth counts and sizing are engineered to work exclusively with the Fastrax Torque Start system, ensuring they mesh perfectly with the starter mechanism for smooth, efficient power transfer. Whether you're running at the track in competitive conditions or bashing with friends at the weekend, these gears maintain consistent performance. The use of quality materials and precision manufacturing means these gears are built to last through countless starts, though periodic replacement as part of regular maintenance will keep your starting system in peak condition. For nitro RC car users across the UK, reliable gears are non-negotiable—they're the difference between a quick start and a frustrating dead engine when you need to go racing.
