Gears category is really just a list of shortcut links to where you'll find gears on our site. These gears are stocked as replacement parts for various RC power system gearbox units, they're listed accordingly. Follow links below to find all the gears we have available.
Notice
We deal in "hobbyist level" and "UAV level" Radio Control (RC) items here. You may have found us using Google because we list so many gears. However, we are not experts on imported Toy's or other misc. stuff. If you're trying to fix a toy or tool or other device, let me answer the important questions right here.
1. I DO NOT know what gear you need. 2. I CAN NOT figure it out by knowing your number of teeth. 3. I CAN NOT figure it out by knowing the diameter of your gear. 4. NO, a picture won't help. 5. There is no "STANDARD" gear, there are MANY. 6. NO, I can't guess at the shaft size of your motor. Measure it. 7. NO, you cannot return items you purchased "Just to see".
It's up to you to figure out what gear tooth size you have and find it among my listings. Buy a gear pitch gauge for both metric and SAE teeth, buy a digital caliper so you can measure things and figure it out. I've invested hundreds of emails and phone calls giving these same answers to a constant stream of inquiries. I'm saving you time by giving you the answers I have now. The information provided about the gears we stock is all the information I have. If you're not sure, order a few that seem right and try them out. Most of them are very cheap. Please understand, I'm happy to supply these goods, we just have to focus our customer service time helping with what we know about, flying machines. |

RC GearsGears transfer power from a motor to a propeller, wheel, or drive shaft, and the right gear keeps a model running at the speed and torque it was designed for. This category is set aside for replacement gears and related drive parts used across radio-control models. Where Gears Are UsedGeared power systems trade some motor speed for extra turning force, which is why many electric setups and scale models rely on a gearbox rather than a direct drive. When a tooth strips or a gear wears, swapping in a matching replacement restores the original gear ratio and mesh. Fit matters with gears: tooth count, pitch, and bore all have to line up with the parts around them, so it helps to know the specification of the gear you are replacing before you order. A clean, well-lubricated gear also runs quieter and wastes less of the motor's power as heat. Browse the listings below to see what is offered in this section. |
