Tamiya 53201 Two-Speed Transmission for TGX Tuners

The Tamiya 53201 Two-Speed Transmission Kit is built for gas-powered TGX cars that need a compact two-speed solution. With precision parts and lightweight aluminium pinions, the kit helps you balance acceleration and top speed without major weight penalties.

Component List and Advantages

Plastic Gears: Fitted with 51-tooth and 47-tooth spur gears to offer selectable drive ratios for different track layouts.
Ball Bearings: Reduces internal friction and improves drivetrain efficiency under load.
Aluminum Clutch Bell: Durable bell for reliable power transfer from the clutch to the gearbox.
One-Way Bearing: Provides improved forward engagement and cleaner shifts.
Two-Speed Pinion Gears: Aluminium construction keeps rotating mass low for sharper throttle response.
Comprehensive Kit: Supplied with a 2-speed shaft, long pilot shaft and a metal parts bag to complete installation.

What electronics or engine changes are needed?

No special electronics are required to fit the Tamiya 53201, but ensure your clutch and engine tune are compatible with the revised gear ratios to avoid overheating.

Will the aluminium pinions wear faster than steel?

Aluminium pinions trade some hardness for weight savings; they perform well in hobby use but should be inspected regularly for wear if you run aggressively.

How do I set gear mesh correctly?

Use a paper or feeler method to set a small clearance between pinion and spur, tighten mounts, then recheck after a few runs. Correct mesh prevents rapid gear damage.

Can the one-way bearing be serviced?

Yes, inspect and clean the one-way bearing periodically and relubricate with light grease to keep the engagement smooth and reliable.

Is any machining required to fit this kit?

Most TGX gas chassis accept the Tamiya 53201 without modification, but always verify fitment on your chassis before final assembly.
