This upgrade kit delivers the principal rotating gears used in the differential of 1/18 scale Associated RC 18T models. The set comprises a high-integrity steel 35T differential gear paired with a steel 14T input gear, supplied as a 2 pcs set for maintenance, rebuilds, or performance-focused servicing.
Engineered for dependable drivetrain behaviour, these steel gears offer improved dimensional stability and controlled wear characteristics versus softer alternatives. They are specified to restore accurate gear mesh, reduce asymmetric tooth wear, and supply a consistent platform for setting diff preload and oil selection.
Technical fitment notes: confirm bearing and housing tolerances prior to assembly, verify mesh and backlash through static rotation checks, and secure fasteners with the recommended retaining method or threadlocker called out in the service documentation. Apply minimal, gear-compatible lubricant to contact surfaces during reassembly.
Use this matched steel gear set for precise differential rebuilds on RC18T models to re-establish consistent tooth engagement and predictable tuning response. Replace both components together to maintain drivetrain symmetry.
