Product summary

Factory Pro O-AP0002 is a 33-tooth 48Pitch spur crafted as an aftermarket substitute for Tamiya M-series small touring chassis. The 48Pitch tooth profile makes it compatible with common 48Pitch pinions and it is intended to alter final drive behaviour within compact transmissions.

Compatibility emphasises the M05 family and related M06/M07/M08 models that share the 48Pitch gear standard; inspect gearbox space and your current pinion tooth count before installing. This item is a direct replacement spur, not a multi-piece service unit.

Installation notes: fit the spur to the gearbox hub, set backlash and axial play, then confirm smooth engagement across steering and suspension movement. Carry out short low-load test runs to find any binding or uneven wear and adjust mesh before extended running.

Tuning role: swapping in a 33T spur shifts the overall gearing compared with other spur sizes, affecting the trade off between acceleration and top speed. Use spur changes alongside pinion swaps and motor/ESC setup to fine tune performance for track or practice sessions.

Do I need new bearings when fitting this spur?

Not usually, unless your bearings show wear. Check bearing condition during installation and replace any that are gritty or loose to protect the new gear.

Will a 33T spur noticeably change handling?

A 33T spur can alter acceleration and top speed balance, which may change how the car feels on track. Tune pinion choice and ESC settings to match the new ratio for consistent handling.

Any run-in tips after replacing the spur?

Run the car at low speed under light load to check mesh and tooth contact. Inspect the gear teeth after the first few runs and re-adjust if you see uneven wear or noise.
