Technical Performance
The FTX Stinger 58T Main Spur Gear is a critical drivetrain component specifically engineered for on-road street car applications. Spur gears are the primary gears in RC car transmissions, responsible for transferring power from the motor's pinion gear to the main axle drive shafts. The 58-tooth specification places this gear in the mid-range tooth count, providing a balanced approach to acceleration and top speed for street-use RC vehicles. This tooth count is particularly suited to the brushless motor systems found in the FTX Stinger and EVO30 models, which generate consistent high-RPM power delivery. The gear is manufactured with precision-cut teeth that maintain exact spacing and angle, critical for smooth engagement with your pinion gear and minimal vibration during operation. Over time, spur gears can wear from normal use, becoming stripped or damaged, which leads to slipping, loss of traction, and poor acceleration response. Regular inspection and timely replacement of worn spur gears keeps your drivetrain running efficiently and prevents secondary damage to connected components. The material composition is selected to handle the continuous rotational forces and shock loads generated during acceleration, deceleration, and cornering in on-road street car running.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the FTX Stinger 58T Main Spur Gear compatible with my RC car? — This spur gear is specifically designed for use with the FTX EVO30 1/10 brushed and brushless street cars (available in black and red) and the FTX Stinger 1/10 brushless on-road street RTR car (in grey and red). Check your vehicle's model number against this list to confirm compatibility before ordering.
- How do I know if my spur gear needs replacing? — Signs of a worn or damaged spur gear include slipping during acceleration, loss of traction when driving, unusual grinding or clicking noises from the transmission, or visible damage or missing teeth on the gear itself. If you experience any of these symptoms, it's time to replace your spur gear.
- What is the tooth count and why does it matter? — This spur gear features 58 teeth, which is the correct specification for the FTX Stinger and EVO30 models. The tooth count directly affects the gear ratio, which in turn influences acceleration and top speed. Using the correct tooth count ensures your vehicle performs as designed by the manufacturer.
- Is this a genuine FTX part? — Yes, this is an authentic OEM (original equipment manufacturer) part supplied by FTX themselves. The model number FTX10521 confirms this is the exact component that came with your vehicle when new, ensuring perfect fit and function.
- How often should I replace my spur gear? — This depends on your driving style and frequency of use. Aggressive driving, frequent acceleration, and regular bashing will wear gears faster than casual recreational use. Many RC enthusiasts keep a spare spur gear on hand for uninterrupted fun, as they're inexpensive insurance against drivetrain downtime.
- Can I use a different tooth count spur gear? — No, using an incorrect tooth count will change your vehicle's gear ratio, affecting acceleration and top speed beyond design specifications and potentially damaging other drivetrain components. Always use the correct 58T specification for your EVO30 or Stinger.
