Sturdy steel pinions in the Tamiya 53081 kit

The Tamiya 53081 Steel Pinion Gear Set contains 20T and 21T steel pinions that replace softer stock gears for tougher, more consistent performance. These pinions suit hobbyists chasing durability and predictable gear behaviour.

Made to resist wear and impact

Tamiya 53081 pinions are made from hardened steel to maintain tooth form and reduce wear from heavy loads. This helps the drivetrain stay true during aggressive runs or long practice sessions.

Versatile for multiple gearbox setups

These pinions are sized to fit a variety of standard motor gears and chassis arrangements, making them a convenient spare or upgrade when swapping components between cars.

Simple upgrade and maintenance choice

For those updating gear ratios or performing routine maintenance, the Tamiya 53081 set gives two neighbouring gear sizes to tweak speed versus torque. Correct mesh adjustment and periodic checks keep them performing well.

Do these gears need special greasing?

A light smear of gear-safe grease or oil at the mesh will reduce friction and noise. Avoid heavy pastes that can attract grit and speed wear.

Can I fit these as direct replacements for plastic pinions?

In most cases yes, provided the pitch and shaft diameter match your motor. Check the spline fit and set the proper backlash when installing metal pinions.
