This bevel gear is engineered for Axial Racing Yeti XL installations and is identified by model YTL1202S/G1. Machined to Steel#45 material criteria, the component has a 48p pitch and 32 teeth and is supplied as a single unit intended for direct replacement in differential or gearbox assemblies. The following notes emphasise fitment checks, lubrication protocol, and the gear's influence on drivetrain characteristics.
Installation notes: ensure accurate gear mesh and set backlash within manufacturer recommendations when installing into the differential or gearbox. Confirm axial and radial clearance relative to mating pinion and spur gears, and verify free-rolling bearings before final assembly. Apply an appropriate high-load grease for steel-on-steel contact and perform a controlled run-in sequence, then re-measure gear engagement to detect any alignment deviation.
Tuning role: replacing the bevel gear will modify NVH profile, torque transfer smoothness, and component life expectancy. Retain 48p mating gears and maintain precise mesh to optimise efficiency and reduce premature wear without altering electrical system settings.
For precision-driven upgrades or restorations on Yeti XL drivetrains, this Steel#45 48p 32T bevel gear provides defined geometry for reliable engagement when installed with correct mesh and lubrication protocols.
