INJORA 9.7:1 Overdrive Transmission Gear Set – Stainless Steel – Fits TRX4M 1/18 RC Crawlers
This INJORA gear set is a stainless steel transmission upgrade for 1/18 RC crawlers like the TRX4M Defender, Bronco, K10 High Trail, and F150. It features a 9.7:1 overdrive ratio that increases wheel speed by approximately 71% while maintaining durability with CNC-machined construction.
What makes the 9.7:1 overdrive gear set different?
Overdrive gears route more power to the axles, which effectively lifts the front of the vehicle and improves ground clearance during climbs. The 9.7:1 ratio delivers about a 71% speed increase at the wheels, helping the crawler push over obstacles more aggressively.

Why stainless steel matters for RC crawling
Stainless steel offers excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, which is a real advantage when running in wet or muddy conditions. The CNC machining process ensures precise tooth profiles and a smooth surface finish, which helps reduce wear over time. Combined, these qualities contribute to a longer service life compared to standard plastic or less durable metal gears.
