Associated RC 18T Delrin Main Gear (54T) by GPM DAR054T  [DAR054T]

Delrin 54T main gear for Associated RC18T

The Associated RC 18T Delrin main gear is an RC-scale replacement spur designed for the Associated RC18T platform. Manufactured in Delrin, this 54-tooth main gear is intended for routine maintenance and component swaps on 1/18 scale 18T kits and setups. Supplied as 1 pcs, it provides a direct replacement option without requiring modification to standard stock gear mounts.

In practical use the Delrin material offers low friction and a degree of wear resistance suitable for typical club racing and practice sessions. When installing, check mesh alignment with the pinion gear and confirm smooth rotation under the gearbox load; small adjustments to motor height or pinion seating can reduce noise and premature wear. This part is an RC accessory only and is meant for model use on the specified platform.

For tuning, note that tooth count affects final gearing and acceleration characteristics; replacing a worn main gear with an identical 54T keeps the original gear ratio unchanged while restoring reliable engagement. Keep spare fasteners and verify that existing bearings and shaft play are within tolerance when fitting new gears.
