The SYT1200 is a CNC-capable specification steel front bevel gear set engineered as an aftermarket replacement for Axial Yeti and Wraith front differentials, supplied as two identical bevels for front drivetrain servicing. Manufactured to provide a metal alternative where increased durability and consistent geometry are required in aggressive trail and rock use.
Installation procedure: verify gear mesh and backlash against the existing spur and pinion before final assembly, retain original wave washers or shims to preserve preload, and confirm correct seating on the front differential output shaft. Use a thread locking compound where the original hardware design mandates it.
Engineering note: installing steel bevels like SYT1200 alters wear rates and load distribution within the front differential train; maintain correctly sized bearings, appropriate lubrication, and precise backlash to optimise longevity and prevent undue wear on mating gears.
SYT1200 is a robust steel replacement set intended for hobbyists seeking durable front differential components with predictable fit and finish.
