Boost TL-01 Top Speed with the 53342 Gear Set

The Tamiya 53342 Speed-Tuned Gear Set offers a direct gear change for TL-01 owners wanting more top-end speed. It modifies the gearbox ratio so the car can reach higher velocities on appropriate surfaces.

Notable features of the 53342 kit

Manufactured in black plastic, the gears provide steady performance and reasonable longevity in typical hobby use. The set focuses on reducing gearbox ratio to prioritise top speed rather than low-end torque.

Fitment advice

To fit the Tamiya 53342 Speed-Tuned Gear Set you will need to remove the original TL-01 plastic gears and swap in the new parts. The job requires standard tools and care to set proper gear mesh, with the instruction sheet as a guide.

Lowering the gearbox ratio shifts the balance toward top speed, so you may notice a decrease in initial acceleration while gaining higher terminal speed on long straights.
Depending on your motor and pinion, you may prefer to re-evaluate pinion size to keep temperatures in check and maintain efficient power delivery with the new ratio.
Many clubs permit gear changes, but rules vary. Check event regulations before racing to confirm that the speed-tuned ratio is allowed in your class.
Inspect gear teeth, bearings and mesh after a few runs and then as part of routine maintenance. Early checks catch wear before it affects performance.
