CNC machined from hardened steel material, these precision cut gears are durable and are perfect for any 48 pitch application. Plus, the 18 tooth and larger gears have been machined on the back side to remove as much weight as possible, without sacrificing strength. These gears are available in 12-41 tooth variants, and the tooth count is engraved on the gear for easy identification. Each gear includes a setscrew to make installation easy.

Poor quality steel prone to sand damage Great concept look great when new Iv had a few of these in multiple sizes but sad to say my 22 tooth isn’t true the gear wobbles which tells me these are made on the cheap

Unfortunately the last production of this pinion in 14T are narrow than the kimbrough spur gear ( the best spur gear ever) So it’s not fit perfectly. 4 years ago the same ref of pinion was wider and perfect for the kimbrough spur gear.

What reviewers say

Six reviews across several tooth-count variants give an average rating of about 4 out of 5. Most reviewers report good fit and performance, including in a 2WD Slash, a B6.2 and a dirt oval setup, with one saying the gear has held up so far. Two reviews raise quality concerns: one 23T owner found the steel prone to sand damage and reported a 22T gear that wobbled, and one 14T owner found a recent production batch narrower than an older batch and a poor fit with a Kimbrough spur gear. Reviews are limited and cover different variants, so the picture is mixed.

  • + Good fit and performance in tested setups
  • + Lasting so far in reviews
  • + Fast shipping
  • − Steel prone to sand damage
  • − Possible wobble on at least one tooth count
  • − Recent 14T batch narrower than earlier batch, poor fit with Kimbrough spur
