Performance and tuning notes

This 16-tooth pinion, model MG216T/0.5M, is suited to motors that require a 0.5mm module and a 2.2mm motor tooth diameter. The hardened 40Cr steel build with black finish is chosen to keep tooth form stable when adjusting drive ratios or running higher power setups.

The pinion features a round motor bore and is fastened with two 3x3 set screws, providing a straightforward clamping method for compatible motor shafts. Confirm your motor dimensions before swapping pinion sizes to avoid incorrect mesh.

Use this pinion as a tuning or replacement part to retain correct mesh geometry and limit premature wear when operating with matching spur gears and properly configured motor systems. It is made for model RC motor applications only.

How does pinion size affect gearing and performance?

Changing from this 16T pinion to a different tooth count alters final drive ratio, impacting acceleration and top speed; choose sizes with matched spur gears in mind.

Can this pinion handle higher power motors?

The hardened 40Cr steel provides improved durability for more demanding setups, but ensure correct mesh and adequate cooling for high-power use.

Will changing the pinion alone tune performance?

Pinion changes influence gearing, but optimal results come from balancing pinion, spur gear, motor gearing, and ESC/motor tuning.
