Lightweight Pinions for Tighter Gear Tuning

The Tamiya 53420 Aluminum Pinion Gear Set is tailored for hobbyists who want to fine-tune gear ratios without adding weight. The pair of 40T and 41T pinions lets you test small changes in ratio for different track conditions.

Features and Easy Installation

Constructed from aluminium to reduce rotating mass, the pinions come with three 3mm set screws and an allen key for hassle-free installation. They are intended for 48P metric pitch systems and are simple to swap when you need a different ratio.

Mixing and Matching Gear Brands

Although labelled 48P metric, these pinions follow Tamiya's metric standard and are not necessarily a drop-in match with other brands' 48P parts. Confirm pitch compatibility to avoid noisy or damaged gear engagement.

Yes, they work with brushless or brushed setups, but ensure gear mesh is correct to handle higher RPM and torque from powerful brushless systems.
Correct pinion spacing is important. Use the motor mounting adjusters and check backlash; shims can help if your motor mount allows fine adjustment.
Inspect teeth for burrs and wear, keep the spur clean, and ensure the set screws remain tight after a few runs to prevent slipping.
