JConcepts has introduced the Silent Speed line of spur gears for the RC10B7 2WD Buggy from Team Associated. Silent Speed spur gears are precision machined making them uniquely concentric over standard or molded gears giving the user a consistent gear mesh allowing a more precise adjustment and more ‘silence’ on the racetrack. The detailed machining provides a pattern vented area and secured slipper pad on both sides giving more consistent slipper performance. The gears are marked for size, so they are identifiable unassembled. Silent Speed spur gears are also branded with the small JC logo for brand identification and authenticity. The 48P Silent Speed spur gears are available in 70, 72, 75, 78, and 81T.
