Redcat Gen8 Spur Gear Spare Part File SpurGear_Module08_32DP_45T.stl This is the gear spare part for Redcat Gen8 RC car, Module 0.8, 32DP, 45Teeth, which works with the Redcat Pinion Gear 17T (Part No. 11177). You can also order a plastic one from Redcat for $5 or even better, get the metal version for $10, or simply print this file. SpurGear_06_48_50T_Tamiya.stl This is a special gear that works with Tamiya small pinion gears (Module 0.6, 48DP), 50Teeth. It does not work with the Redcat original Pinion Gear 17T (0.8 32DP Part No. 11177). I made these two spur gears because I recently purchased a RedCat Gen8 PACK (Pre-assembled Chassis) and realized it doesn't come with the pinion gear! The pinion gear is not as common as other parts like motors or ESCs, so many online RC stores don't have it. Some do, but you'll need to pay for shipping and wait a long time. What's a person to do? I had an idea - use some old Tamiya Pinion Gears from my vintage models! But when I installed them, the Redcat Gen8 Spur Gear was damaged, and there was a lot of noise. I realized that Tamiya Pinion Gears are not compatible with Redcat Gen8 Spur Gears. So here we are - File 1 is the Redcat Gen8 Spur Gear, which may not last long since the original one is also plastic. And File 2 is for those who only have Tamiya small pinion gears and need a replacement for their Redcat Gen8 PACK. Print Advice: Use PETG or better yet, use Nylon. PLA won't last long. Print support is necessary. Final Thought: Redcat Gen8 PACK really should include the Pinion Gear!
