Associated RC 18T Titanium Motor Gear (15T) by GPM TAR015T  [TAR015T]

Titanium motor gear for Associated RC 18T

This titanium motor gear is specified for the Associated RC 18T platform and is supplied as a single 15T pinion with its securing screw, designed solely as an RC-scale replacement or upgrade part. The component focuses on wear resistance and reduced mass where titanium is indicated as the material, and it serves as a direct swap for the standard motor pinion on the specified chassis.

In typical installation the gear replaces the existing 15T pinion on the motor shaft, so verify tooth count and orientation before fitting. Check gear mesh with the spur gear for correct backlash, confirm the set screw engagement on the flat of the motor shaft, and re-check drivetrain rotation and free play after tightening. Regular inspection for wear and secure fastening helps maintain consistent power transfer during track runs.

The gear's role in tuning is straightforward: as a like-for-like 15T replacement it preserves the original gear ratio while offering material changes that can affect longevity and inertial feel. Use it when aiming for a maintenance upgrade or when replacing a worn pinion without altering gearing ratios.
