Steel 16T Pinion Built for Regular Running

The Tamiya 50517 0.8 Steel 16T Pinion Gear is a straightforward steel replacement part for model builders who want longevity under frequent operation. It is manufactured to withstand repeated use while keeping gear mesh consistent.

Compatibility Overview

This 16-tooth pinion fits many common RC platforms that require a 0.8 module pinion. It ensures the motor's torque is transferred cleanly to the rest of the drivetrain when paired with the correct spur gear.

Practical Fitment Tips

Fit the Tamiya 50517 carefully to the motor shaft, check alignment under load, and ensure the set screw is tight. Regular inspections and minor adjustments will help avoid premature wear.

Will I need to change my spur gear when using this pinion?

Not necessarily; if your current spur matches the intended final ratio, you can use this 16T pinion directly. Change the spur only if you want a different final drive ratio.

Can this part handle brushless motor torque?

Yes, the steel construction is suitable for higher torque setups, but ensure correct mesh and shaft security to prevent tooth damage under heavy load.

What maintenance keeps this pinion performing well?

Keep the gear free of grit, check for burrs on the shaft, retorque the set screw as needed, and replace if teeth show flattening or chipping.
