Pinion for tuning and replacements

The MG316T/0.5M motor gear is a specification pinion for small RC motors, offering 16 teeth with a 0.5mm module and a 3.175mm motor tooth diameter that match common mini and micro gear sets.

Made from 40Cr steel with a hardened black surface treatment, the pinion aims to provide improved wear characteristics to help keep gear mesh consistent during tuning and use. The part features a round motor bore and is held in place with two set screws (3x3) to prevent axial movement on compatible shafts.

For safe installation and correct gearing, confirm your motor shaft size, module, and the desired tooth count before swapping pinions. This component suits RC motors with the listed dimensions for replacement and tuning adjustments in model drivetrains.

Will changing to this 16T pinion alter my gear ratio significantly?

Yes. Switching to a 16T pinion changes the overall gear ratio relative to your spur gear. Calculate the ratio using pinion and spur tooth counts to predict speed and torque effects before fitting.

What should I check after fitting for tuning purposes?

After installation, verify mesh by rotating the drivetrain, check for smooth operation and listen for binding. Adjust backlash if necessary and ensure the two 3x3 set screws are secure but not over-tightened.
