Description
A high-speed counter gear set offering a 4:1 or 4.2:1 gear ratio, aimed at cars running large-diameter wheels where a taller ratio helps maintain speed. The set includes a 28-tooth spur gear plus two types of counter gear shaft to suit different chassis, and a ball bearing is included to keep the extra gearing turning smoothly under load.
- Gear ratio: 4:1 or 4.2:1
- 28T spur gear
- Two counter gear shaft types + 1x ball bearing
- Wide chassis compatibility: Type 2/4/5, Zero, FM, FM-A, Super-1, Super-II, Super FM, Super TZ, Super X, Super XX, Super TZ-X, VS, AR
It sits at the tall end of Tamiya's Grade-Up gearing range, opposite the Lightweight Special Gearing (No.187), which uses a shorter 3.5:1 ratio built specifically for small-diameter-tire chassis instead. Pairing this set with large wheels rather than small ones keeps wheel rpm, and therefore motor load, in a sensible range for the extra rolling circumference, which is why Tamiya scopes the two ratio sets to opposite ends of the wheel-size spectrum.
