This Kyosho CL017 pinion is specified as a 12-tooth motor pinion for the KC10 chassis. It is intended to mate with KC10 drivetrains that use 0.8M pitch gearing and serves as a straightforward part for altering final drive ratios to tune vehicle response.
While installation is not complex, take care: confirm the motor shaft diameter, set proper mesh with the spur gear to prevent premature wear, check axial alignment and motor shaft runout, and secure the pinion mounting without deforming the shaft. Hand-spin the drivetrain to confirm smooth engagement before applying power.
On the tuning side, a 12T pinion moves the gearing toward better acceleration versus larger pinions, though smaller pinions can reduce the load on the ESC and motor. After any gearing change, verify battery, ESC, and motor settings to keep the system reliable.
