Designed for use with the Mugen MRX-5 chassis, this 16-tooth pinion is made from 7075-T6 aluminium and finished with a hard coating to resist wear while keeping weight down. It is intended for the clutch/pinion stage on 1/8 scale competition and club cars.
Fitment notes: mount the pinion onto the clutch pinion shaft using your chassis service procedure, set mesh to the recommended clearance and check that the motor and spur turn freely before driving. Be cautious with clutch preload adjustments and perform engagement checks after any gear change to avoid excessive wear.
Tuning role: changing pinion sizes shifts final drive ratios and alters engine or motor response on clutch-driven setups; a 16T option provides a single tuning step useful for improving acceleration balance versus top speed on MRX-5 vehicles.
