This aluminium second gear is supplied as a direct replacement for the Mugen MTX-4 buggy gearbox. Manufactured from Hardern aluminium, the 23-tooth gear serves as the intermediate gear and is aimed at scale and performance rebuilds that accept the same tooth profile.
Fitment and role: designed to mate with MTX-4 gearbox internals, the component works with spur and pinion combinations to set final drive ratios. It is not intended as a universal drop-in for unrelated gearboxes.
Installation advice: inspect related bearings and shafts for wear before fitting, maintain correct mesh and backlash settings, and check pinion alignment after installation. Use original mounting orientation and recommended fastener torque to prevent distortion.
Tuning guidance: fitting the 23T second gear makes modest ratio changes and can be used together with different spur or pinion sizes to balance acceleration against top speed. Expect different wear and heat behavior versus steel or nylon, so monitor mesh and run controlled tests.
