Overview
Strengthen the most failure-prone gears in your Axial AR44 axles with the Hot Racing Heavy Duty Steel 27T/8T High-Pinion Bevel Gear Set. CNC-machined from hardened steel, this 0.9 module bevel gear set replaces the stock plastic ring and pinion gears with a far more durable steel pair — and the high-pinion design adds front-axle overdrive for improved cornering and crawling behavior.
For SCX10 II and Wraith owners who keep stripping stock plastic ring/pinion gears, or for builders running brushless motors, this is the bulletproof axle gearing upgrade that ends ring-and-pinion failures for good.
Key Features
- CNC-machined hardened steel construction
- 0.9 module high-pinion bevel gear set
- 27T ring gear, 8T pinion gear
- Direct fit for Axial AR44 axles
- Provides overdrive for the front axle
Performance Benefits
- Eliminates stripped ring/pinion gear failures
- Front-axle overdrive improves cornering and crawl behavior
- Hardened steel handles brushless motor torque
- Long service life under aggressive crawling
Usage Notes
Verify gear mesh and backlash carefully during installation — there should be a small amount of backlash with no binding. Apply axle gear oil generously during assembly. Recommended for use with brushless or upgraded brushed motors. Front-axle overdrive changes vehicle behavior; expect different cornering feel after installation.
