34z anglewinder crown gear

Precision in the anglewinder transmission with the 34-tooth crown gear from Avant Slot

The anglewinder crown gear 34z (AV20628) from Avant Slot is made of aluminium and is designed for anglewinder motor setups, where the motor is positioned at an angle to the rear axle. With 34 teeth and prepared for a 2.38 mm axle, it fits into the most common configurations for preparation and track competition.

Technical specifications

• Number of teeth: 34z
• Material: aluminium
• Compatible axle diameter: 2.38 mm
• Fixing system: M2 screw (included)
• Configuration: anglewinder
• Reference: AV20628

Function and performance

In an anglewinder transmission, the relationship between the pinion and crown gear directly determines the character of the car: more or less top speed, greater or lesser acceleration. A crown gear with 34 teeth offers a moderate-high gear ratio when combined with smaller pinions, making it suitable for circuits with long straights as well as balanced setups on mixed tracks.

The aluminium provides lightness compared to other materials, helping to reduce the rotating mass and thus improving the response in acceleration and braking. The M2 screw fixing ensures a firm attachment to the axle without the need for special tools.

Compatibility and installation

This crown gear is designed for 2.38 mm axles, a standard measurement in a large part of competitive and preparation slot car chassis. Before installing it, it is advisable to check that the pitch of the pinion you are using on the motor is compatible with that of this crown gear to ensure correct meshing without play.

The included M2 screw facilitates installation from the outset, without the need to search for additional hardware. It is recommended to apply a small amount of thread locker or adjust the torque to prevent it from vibrating or loosening during running sessions.

Ideal for…

• Preparers working with anglewinder configurations looking to adjust the gear ratio.
• Club drivers wanting to optimise the car's behaviour according to the layout.
• Replacement of worn crown gears in slot cars with a 2.38 mm axle.

Points to consider

Remember that this crown gear is specific for anglewinder setups. It is not interchangeable with crown gears of sidewinder or inline configurations without checking the meshing angle with the motor pinion. If you have doubts about compatibility with your current pinion, check the tooth pitch before placing your order.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an anglewinder crown gear and a sidewinder crown gear?

The difference lies in the working angle. In an anglewinder configuration, the motor is mounted at an angle to the rear axle, which requires the use of crown gears designed for that specific meshing angle. Sidewinder crown gears work with the motor positioned parallel to the axle, and although they may visually appear similar, they are not interchangeable without checking the compatibility of the pitch and angle.

Is the M2 screw included?

Yes, the M2 fixing screw is included in the packaging, so you can proceed with the installation directly without the need to search for additional screws.

What pinions is this crown gear compatible with?

The provided information does not specify the tooth pitch of the crown gear, which is a key detail for determining compatibility with the motor pinion. We recommend consulting the complete technical data sheet from Avant Slot or contacting us to confirm compatibility with your pinion before placing your order.

What axle diameter is it designed for?

This crown gear is designed for 2.38 mm axles, one of the most common measurements in competitive and preparation slot car chassis.

How many teeth does it have and how does that affect the car's behaviour?

It has 34 teeth. A greater number of teeth on the crown gear (with the same pinion) results in higher top speed but lower acceleration. A lower number of teeth allows the car to accelerate faster but reach a lower top speed. With 34z, you have a balanced option that adapts well to mixed circuits.

The Avant Slot AV20628 anglewinder crown gear features 34 teeth, aluminium construction and is compatible with 2.38 mm axles, with an M2 fixing screw included. A reliable slot car transmission part for anglewinder setups, ideal for club racing and home track tuning. Find this and other Avant Slot spare parts at Ministry of Hobby.

Information not found

It has not been possible to confirm the tooth pitch (module) of this crown gear based on the provided information. This detail is relevant for verifying exact compatibility with the motor pinion. It is recommended to consult the official technical data sheet from Avant Slot or contact the Ministry of Hobby team before proceeding with the installation.
