What's in the Box
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a spur gear and why does my RC car need one? — A spur gear is a circular gear with teeth around its circumference that meshes with the pinion gear (driven by your motor) to transfer rotational power to the transmission and wheels. Without a functional spur gear, your RC car's drivetrain cannot transmit power from the motor to the wheels, making it an absolutely essential component for any 1:10 scale RC vehicle.
- Will this spur gear fit my FMS F100 RC car? — Yes, this is the genuine OEM FMS 61T Spur Gear designed specifically for the 1:10 F100 platform. It is engineered to drop-in replacement specifications, ensuring perfect fitment and compatibility with your existing F100 drivetrain without any modifications or adjustments required.
- Do I need any tools to replace the spur gear? — Most RC car spur gears require only basic tools such as an Allen key or screwdriver to access the gear assembly on your vehicle. We recommend consulting your FMS F100 manual for specific removal and installation procedures, though most RC enthusiasts find the replacement straightforward enough for intermediate-level hobbyists.
- How often should I replace my spur gear? — Spur gear lifespan depends on your running frequency, driving style, and maintenance habits. Aggressive bashing, high-speed running, and lack of regular lubrication will wear gears faster. We recommend inspecting your spur gear regularly and replacing it immediately if you notice chipped teeth, cracks, or unusual grinding noises during operation.
- What is the difference between a 61-tooth spur gear and other tooth counts? — Tooth count affects your RC car's performance characteristics. A 61-tooth spur gear like this one provides a specific balance of acceleration and top speed suited to the FMS F100 platform. Different tooth counts (higher or lower) would alter your vehicle's performance profile, which is why using the correct OEM specification is important for maintaining design performance standards.
- Is this suitable for both beginners and experienced RC enthusiasts? — Yes, this spur gear is essential for anyone running an FMS F100, regardless of experience level. Beginners benefit from the reliability and OEM engineering, whilst experienced bashers and competitors appreciate the precision and durability for intensive running sessions. Having quality replacement parts on hand is simply good practice for any RC car owner.
