Associated RC 18T 56T Titanium Main Gear by GPM TAR056T  [TAR056T]

Titanium main gear for RC18T

This is a titanium 56T main spur gear produced by GPM for the Associated RC 18T platform, supplied as a single piece. It is an RC-scale replacement/upgrade intended to replace worn or plastic large spur gears in 1/18 class Associated 18T models, offering a harder wearing tooth surface compared with typical stock materials.

On installation, check gear mesh and existing bearings for play before fitting to avoid premature wear. The gear functions as the primary large spur in the transmission, so correct mesh, secure mounting, and clean mating surfaces are important to retain drivetrain efficiency. Use existing mounting hardware and follow chassis service intervals to inspect for wear.

For tuning, a stiffer, harder spur gear can change perceived drivetrain stiffness and longevity; evaluate pinion-to-spur mesh and slipper/clutch settings after fitting to ensure smooth engagement and to prevent excess loading on the motor and speed controller.
