Rugged steel pinions for accurate gearing

The Tamiya 53063 Steel Pinion Gear Set brings two machined steel pinions that deliver consistent tooth engagement under load. Including 12T and 13T sizes, the set lets you tweak gear ratios to suit different surfaces and motor setups with minimal fuss.

Main advantages of the pinion set

Material: Machined steel for strength and extended service life
Tooth Count: Both 12T and 13T pinions supplied for tuning flexibility
Compatibility: Intended for Tamiya gearboxes using 0.4 Module metric pitch
Installation: Comes with three 3mm grub screws and an allen key for straightforward installation
Pitch: 0.4 Module metric pitch, not compatible with standard pitch gear trains

Are threadlockers recommended on the grub screws?

A small amount of medium-strength threadlocker can prevent the grub screws from loosening, but avoid excess and make sure you can still remove them for maintenance.

How do I check if the pitch matches my gearbox?

Confirm your gearbox uses a 0.4 Module metric pitch; mismatched pitch will cause poor mesh and accelerated wear.

Any tips to extend pinion life?

Keep mesh correctly set, avoid debris ingress, and inspect teeth regularly for chips or rounding to maintain performance.

Will swapping between 12T and 13T affect motor temperature?

Changing pinion size alters motor load; after fitting a new pinion check motor temperature during a short test run to ensure safe operation.
