This 40-tooth, 48pitch spur gear is supplied as an aftermarket spare intended for the O-AP0001 chassis. It interfaces with the motor pinion to determine gear ratio and ensure consistent tooth contact in the drive train.
Use the 40T spur when swapping out the original large gear or when testing different ratios as part of tuning. Proper installation requires setting axial position and pinion mesh, confirming the gear runs true on its bearings and checking for any contact with the gearbox housing.
When setting up, verify pinion engagement at low throttle, check associated bearings and backlash, and confirm smooth rotation through full suspension and steering travel. Changing spur size alters overall gearing, so combine the 40T with an appropriate pinion to adjust acceleration and top speed to your preference.
