Adjust gearing with durable Tamiya aluminium pinions

The Tamiya 53405 Aluminum Pinion Gear set is aimed at drivers wanting quick and dependable gear changes. This pack contains a 34 tooth and a 35 tooth aluminium pinion that are well suited to dirt and mixed-surface use.

Motor attachment and pitch details

Manufactured to a 0.4M (48P) metric pitch, these pinions match correctly with compatible spur gears for smooth power transfer. The aluminium material helps lower rotating inertia, which can aid throttle response on technical tracks.

What you get

One 34 tooth pinion gear
One 35 tooth pinion gear
Three grub screws to lock the pinions
An allen wrench for fitting

Installation is user friendly, allowing quick swaps between runs or practice sessions.

Can these pinions be used on buggies and truggies?

Yes. As long as the model uses a 0.4M pitch spur and a compatible motor shaft, these pinions will fit a variety of off-road models.

Do aluminium pinions wear faster than steel?

Aluminium can show wear differently to steel, especially in sandy conditions. Regular inspection and cleaning will extend service life.

Should I use threadlocker on the grub screws?

A small drop of medium strength threadlocker on the grub screws is a common practice to prevent loosening, especially during intense off-road use.

Is mesh adjustment critical with these pinions?

Yes. Proper gear mesh prevents premature wear and reduces noise. Adjust the motor position until there is a slight clearance between pinion and spur teeth.

Will these affect motor temperature?

Changing gear ratio can alter load on the motor. Monitor temperatures after fitting a different pinion to ensure the motor runs within safe limits.
