Steel pinions such as the Tamiya 50518 resist wear better than softer alternatives, which helps keep gear ratios stable under hard use. That makes them ideal where longevity matters, such as off-road or race environments.

Module: 0.8 module suited to a broad range of engine gears
Usage: Recommended for upgrades, replacements, and race prep

Does the Tamiya 50518 fit brushless setups?

It will fit brushless motors that accept 0.8 module gears, but check the motor shaft style and set screw position first.

What tool do I need to tighten the pinion?

A standard hex driver or hex key suited to your motor's grub screw is usually all you need to secure the pinion.

Will steel change my gearing feel?

You may notice slightly different noise and a firmer feel versus aluminium, but the Tamiya 50518 maintains consistent mesh and performance.

How often should I inspect the pinion?

Check the teeth and mesh after heavy sessions or if you hear unusual noise; steel lasts longer but benefits from regular inspection.
