This 12-tooth metal input gear is a crucial upgrade component engineered specifically for the Kyosho Mad Van VE RC truck's drivetrain. Crafted from durable metal, likely hardened steel, it significantly enhances the robustness and reliability of the vehicle's internal gear mechanism, providing superior wear resistance and power transfer compared to the stock plastic gears. Ideal for enthusiasts who push their Mad Van VE to its limits, this gear ensures a more resilient power delivery system, especially under high-stress conditions like aggressive driving, jumps, or when running more powerful brushless motor setups.
