Track-Grade Tamiya 42229 30T Pinion

Tamiya 42229 is a 30T hard-coated aluminium pinion designed for racers who want reliable tooth contact and extended service life. The 04 module pitch keeps it compatible with precision spurs used in TRF and F1 layouts.

Hard Coating and Tooth Design Advantages

The hard-coated surface offers improved resistance to abrasion, while the rounded tooth geometry lowers friction and helps maintain efficient power flow from motor to spur.

Model Compatibility and Fit Notes

Specifically compatible with Tamiya TRF416, TRF417 and F1 chassis that use 04 module spur gears, the Tamiya 42229 is an easy upgrade when experimenting with different gear ratios.

Should I balance this pinion before use?

Most users do not need to balance a small pinion, but if you notice vibration at high rpm a light balance check can help. Focus first on correct mesh and secure fastening.

What gear sizes work well with this 30T pinion?

It pairs with a range of 04 module spur sizes depending on the desired ratio. Try conservative changes when tuning to avoid overloading the motor or drivetrain.

Any tips for avoiding premature wear?

Keep the gear area clean, ensure proper mesh clearance, and avoid abrasive cleaners. Replace the pinion if you spot tooth damage to protect the spur.
