The racer asked
why does my a/c car have the spur gear on the right side of the car
Miles, So Dialed's RC setup AI
The spur is on the right because that’s where the 22X A/C transmission and motor plate place the gear mesh. The motor pinion drives the spur, and the gearbox then sends power through the layshaft and drivetrain to the rear wheels; the parts list confirms the 22X has a layshaft and A/C rear axle, but doesn’t give TLR’s specific design rationale for choosing that side.
It’s a packaging choice, not a part that needs to be moved for handling. Spur side can affect how weight and motor torque are distributed, but changing it would require a compatible transmission layout, not just flipping the gear.
