Gears are vital components in remote and app-controlled vehicle parts. They are used to transfer torque and motion, allowing for smooth and efficient operation of a vehicle’s power plant and driveline systems. In any type of remote or app-controlled vehicle, gears play an essential role in providing the power plant with the necessary energy to move.
Gears work together in order to achieve the desired speed of a remote or app-controlled vehicle. There are two types of gears: internal and external. Internal gears are used to create a direct drive between two moving parts, meaning that one gear is inside another and their teeth meshed. External gears, on the other hand, are used to reduce the speed and increase the torque of the power plant.
Within the two types of gears, there are five main categories: spur, helical, bevel, planetary and worm. Spur gears are the most commonly used and feature straight cut teeth around the circumference of the wheel. Helical gears, which are similar to spur gears, have curved teeth designed to reduce sound and vibration. Bevel gears have conical teeth arranged in a perpendicular manner, allowing for high mechanical efficiency. Planetary gears are mounted on a single axis, providing high speed and torque reduction. Lastly, worm gears feature teeth that are completely different from any of the other gears, and they are used to reduce speed while increasing torque.
In addition to these types of gears, there are also different sizes available for use in remote and app-controlled vehicles. Gear sizes are determined by pitch and module, which are the distance between two adjacent teeth. These measurements must be carefully calculated to ensure the correct fit for the vehicle's power plant and driveline system.

Different types of gears, such as spur, helical, bevel, planetary and worm, are available in various sizes to ensure the correct fit for any power plant and driveline system. Without gears, it wouldn't be possible to move a remote or app-controlled vehicle.
