Central steel gear built for trail use

This steel central gear set fits Axial Wraith central drivetrains and is offered as a durability-focused aftermarket replacement. The steel machining aims to handle the rigours of canyon and trail crawling where stronger centre gears help resist wear.

Fitment and role: placed in the centre of the drivetrain, the gear transmits torque between front and rear outputs on Wraith-type layouts. When fitting a replacement, check mating spur and pinion teeth and all bearings to ensure proper engagement and to avoid premature failure.

Installation notes: disassemble the gearbox using routine tools, keep all contact areas and bearings clean, adjust the gear mesh to a small free backlash, and coat teeth lightly with grease suited to steel gears. No special case modification is required for correct installation.

An effective steel replacement for Wraith central drivetrain maintenance, aimed at extending service life under demanding trail conditions.

Is this stronger than the stock plastic central gear?

Yes. Steel construction typically offers superior wear resistance and impact tolerance compared with plastic stock gears, but it also places greater load on bearings and mating gears, so inspect those components as well.

Will switching to steel change gear noise?

Steel gears can produce a different acoustic signature compared with plastic; correct mesh and lubrication will minimise noise while maintaining robust operation.

Can I run this gear without replacing other components?

You can if mating gears and bearings are in good condition, but for best results inspect and replace worn parts to avoid uneven wear or stress on the new steel gear.

Does the AW-23035 kit include fitting instructions?

The product is described as a like-for-like steel replacement; follow standard gearbox disassembly and reassembly procedures and refer to seller details for any supplied instructions.

How should I protect the gear in wet or muddy runs?

Keep seals and bearings free of contaminants, use suitable grease, and inspect the gearbox more frequently after wet or muddy outings to prevent abrasive wear.
