HPI Racing 76817 47T Spur Gear for Nitro 2 and 3

The 76817 47T Spur Gear for Nitro 2 and 3 models has garnered mixed feedback from customers. Many users have expressed their reliance on this part for their HPI RTR3 EVO and Nitro 2 vehicles, having purchased multiple replacements due to its performance challenges. A common complaint among enthusiasts is the gear's material quality; several reviewers wish for a transition to higher-quality plastics or even a metal composite to enhance durability. The spur gear tends to wear down quickly, primarily due to the high torque it endures and the shallow mesh with the associated gears. While replacing the part itself is straightforward, many users find the setup process, especially achieving a proper gear mesh, somewhat tedious and detracting from their overall enjoyment of the car’s performance. On a positive note, for those who receive the correct parts, the spur gear fulfills its purpose, allowing users to get back to racing without major hiccups. Quick delivery and availability have also been highlights in customer experiences, particularly for those in immediate need of the component. Overall, while the 76817 Spur Gear serves its functional role, its longevity and material quality have raised concerns among users, leading to frequent replacements and maintenance. **
