Practical replacement gears for Tamiya 4WD models

The Tamiya 50529 RC 4WD Car Plastic Gear Set is a handy parts pack for anyone maintaining a Tamiya 4WD Touring or Rally car. It provides the normal plastic drive components needed to sort out worn gear issues and restore smoother running.

Included drivetrain parts

Made from white molded nylon, the supplied pieces are intended for standard repair jobs on plastic gear drivetrains. The pack contains the common items required to rebuild the differential and main drive:

  • Spur/Drive Gear: A combined spur and drive gear for steady power transfer.
  • Idler Gear: Keeps gear engagement even and reduces chatter.
  • Large Bevel Gears: Two bevel gears used in the differential.
  • Differential Gear and Cover: Helps the car turn predictably by protecting the diff internals.
  • Counter Gear: Balances rotational forces across the gearbox.
  • Ball Retainer: Keeps ball bearings aligned to lower friction.
  • Nylon Gear Shaft Caps: Six caps to secure gear shafts and limit side play.

Simple fitting advice

During installation, check gear mesh and the alignment of shafts. Perform routine inspections after running sessions and re-lube as recommended to avoid accelerated wear.

These nylon gears are intended as replacement parts for standard use. For heavy racing or high power setups, consider checking for reinforced or metal options compatible with your model.
Set a small amount of backlash between mating gears, rotate the drivetrain by hand, and inspect for smooth rotation without binding. Adjust shims if necessary.
Yes, the ball retainer is a separate component and can be replaced if worn, but replacing damaged surrounding gears at the same time is often best practice.
Keep gears clean, avoid grit entry, use light greases where recommended, and inspect teeth regularly for nicks or wear to prolong service life.
