Overview
Boost the speed and durability of your Redcat Ascent-18 portal axles with the Power Hobby Hardened Steel 14T + 23T Portal Gear Set. This high-speed gear set replaces the stock portal gears with hardened steel construction in a faster ratio — letting your crawler cover more ground without sacrificing the portal axle advantage.
The Ascent-18 features portal axles for great ground clearance, and these gears live inside the portal housings doing the work of lowering torque/raising speed. Steel construction holds up under upgraded power; the 14T/23T ratio delivers higher top speed than stock.
Key Features
- Hardened steel construction for outstanding durability
- 14T input / 23T output gear set
- Higher top speed than stock portal gearing
- Direct fit for Redcat Ascent-18 portal axles
- Improved performance under brushless upgrades
Performance Benefits
The 14T/23T ratio raises overall top speed compared with stock portal gearing — ideal for trail running and faster cruising. Hardened steel construction handles the additional torque from upgraded brushless motors and packs.
Usage Notes
Best for Ascent-18 owners who prioritize speed for trail and overland use. Faster gearing slightly reduces low-speed crawl torque. Verify mesh and packing of fresh grease in portal housings during installation.
