Steel Axle Overdrive Differential Gear Set 13T/2T for Axial SCX24 RC Crawlers – Front & Rear
This steel axle differential gear set is designed for the Axial SCX24 1/24 RC crawler platform. With a 13T worm gear and 2T drive gear, it delivers a 2:13 overdrive ratio that boosts wheel speed by roughly 13% while keeping noise low and performance steady. The set includes two worm gears and two drive gears, enough for both front and rear axles. Ideal for SCX24 owners looking to add a bit more pace to their crawler without swapping the entire driveline.

Does This Fit My SCX24 Model?
Yes, if you own one of these SCX24 variants: Deadbolt, C10, JLU, Gladiator, or Bronco. The gearset is a direct replacement for the stock differential gears on those axles. No modifications needed.
How Does the Overdrive Affect Performance?
The 2/13T combination spins the axles faster than the stock ratio, giving you around 13% more wheel speed. That extra rotation helps the truck roll over obstacles more easily and can improve climbing on loose surfaces. The steel construction keeps the gears rigid and the mesh quiet, so you get the speed gain without excessive drivetrain noise.
Installation Tips
Installing these gears is straightforward. Disassemble the axle housing, swap the stock worm and drive gears for these steel ones, then reassemble. The gears fit the stock mounting points exactly – no drilling or special tools required. Just take care not to lose the small shims or bearings during the swap.
