Reflex Racing 64 Pitch MR-02 Spur Gears.





Our line of Spur Gears were designed with maximum performance in mind. We wanted a Spur gear that not only was lighter, but also stronger, truer and more versatile than what is currently available.

We started by going back to the trusty 6 ball design. Lately most spur gears have been increasing the number of balls used. While this is good for ultra high grip tracks, the majority of tracks across the World aren't. This led us to use only 5 balls in the spurs, but many times this proved insufficient engagement in mid- to mid high grip tracks. The 6 ball design is simply the most versatile.

We also eliminated the unnecessary and very heavy center bearing. By Machining the Spur gears instead of molding them, the need for a bearing to make it spin true is not needed any more. This eliminates weight even further in your drive train allowing for quicker acceleration and deceleration.

The spur gear is much narrower as well. This reduces friction even further, again increasing the speed of your car.

Lastly, we made sure the spur gears fit EVERY differential design, regardless of brand. You need not sand down any of the diff parts to make it fit. It is a direct bolt-on. In the case that you did sand down your diff, we offer a spacer kit for $1.00 to take up the gap left from your previous modifying.

Great looking product. Looks to be the 64 pitch
set to get with the loss of the bearing.

Just curious, how durable are those PN shafts?
Per my experience (or inexperience lol), aluminum
threads don't last as long.

I am yet to have any trouble with the PN Shafts. So long as you do not over tighten them, they should be fine.

Let's get back on track though, this is a thread about our new spurs

Just made my order Cant wait to try them out, I always thought that the bearing was a little overkill, and added more weight than necessary. May be ok for modified classes, but for stock classes, I think having the bearing out will work better.

Are there plans to produce smaller gears? 52t, maybe even 51t for people that like to gear to the moon...

I just actually picked them up from the machine shop today, they finished making them yesterday. I wish I could have gotten them out for the NYC regional...

I am definitely planning on different sizes. A 51T and a 55T are the ones that I want to make the most. Increments of just a tooth seem kind of redundant to me, as they make such a small difference. It will be at least a month before we get the other ones out though. A 51T will probably come first and the 55T will follow.
