This 20T hardened steel drive gear is supplied as a single pair and is intended as an aftermarket replacement for worn SCX10 factory gears. The hardened material is selected to reduce surface fatigue and extend service life under slow-speed, high-torque conditions.
The gear transmits pinion torque into the axle and spur assembly and is a fundamental driveline component. For scale crawlers and trail rigs, upgrading to a hardened steel drive gear improves resistance to wear and deformation compared with softer stock gears.
Technical fitting notes: verify correct tooth engagement and backlash after installation, inspect mating pinion and spur for wear before reuse, and ensure the gear seats fully on its shaft. Replace bearings or retaining hardware exhibiting axial play to protect gear alignment and load distribution.
