Performance Upgrade with the Tamiya 54462 Pinion

If you run and tune RC machines, the Tamiya 54462 06 Module Pinion Gear is a practical addition. The hard-coated aluminium construction gives better wear resistance while helping to reduce friction and audible mesh noise. Made for 06 module spur gears, it will fit the RM-01 chassis for a quick performance tweak.

Practical Advantages

Robust construction: Hard-coated aluminium helps the pinion resist wear in regular use.
Improved efficiency: Refined tooth shaping lowers friction, assisting smoother power delivery.
Lower mesh noise: Designed to reduce the whine and chatter from gear engagement.

How do I check gear mesh correctly?

Fit the pinion, then place a small piece of paper between the gears and rotate to set a light contact. Remove paper and confirm there is slight backlash but no tight spots.

Is this pinion suitable for high-power setups?

The hard-coated aluminium improves durability over plain aluminium pinions, but for very high power builds consider hardened steel options or frequent inspection of tooth wear.

What tools are recommended for fitting?

Basic RC tools like hex drivers, a pinion spanner or pliers for the set screw, and a small file or shims for final mesh tuning are usually enough.
