It replaces the stock nylon spur gear, offering increased strength and precision while reducing energy loss thanks to its high efficiency. Ideal for RC enthusiasts looking to improve durability and performance in vehicles with torque control slip clutches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes the BRKRC steel spur gear an upgrade over the stock nylon part?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStock nylon spur gears wear quickly under high torque and heat.

Many RC users apply a light silicone grease to steel spur gears, but follow your vehicle's manual for best results.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill the steel gear damage my pinion gear?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteel on steel meshing can wear faster than nylon on steel. If your pinion is also steel, consider using a lubricant and checking mesh regularly. Many users pair this spur with a steel pinion for maximum durability.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BRKRC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58074772341039,"sku":null,"price":25.73,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0986\/4478\/7503\/files\/brkrc-48p-steel-spur-gear-55t62t-for-110-ford-bronco-4-tec-20-upgrade-1.jpg?v=1781474252","url":"https:\/\/toysforkid.co.uk\/products\/brkrc-48p-steel-spur-gear-55t-62t-for-1-10-ford-bronco-4-tec-2-0-upgrade","provider":"Toys For Kid","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
