Reliable aluminium pinion for hobby gearboxes

The Tamiya 54578 06 Module Hard Coated Aluminum Pinion Gear 25T OP-1578 is built for hobbyists who want a dependable, light pinion that keeps drivetrains turning smoothly. Its aluminium body helps lower rotating mass while staying rugged enough for regular use.

Features and fit

With a hard surface treatment the pinion resists tooth wear and keeps precise meshing for longer. The rounded tooth profile reduces friction and vibration, promoting quieter operation. Designed for 06 Module spur gears, it fits a broad range of RC models.

Included items

  • Hard Coated 25T Aluminum Pinion Gear x1
  • 3mm Grub Screw x1

Can I use this pinion for both touring cars and buggies?

Yes. As long as your model uses 06 Module spur gears and the shaft size matches, this 25T pinion works across different chassis types, including touring and off-road models.

How should I check gear mesh after fitting?

Set a moderate backlash and spin the gears by hand to inspect contact. Look for even tooth wear and no binding. Fine tune with shims or by moving the motor mount as required.

Do I need to replace the grub screw with a pinion collar?

The supplied 3mm grub screw is standard for many shafts, but you can use a pinion collar or set screw style if your shaft or motor setup prefers that for added security.

Is break-in required for this pinion?

A short, gentle break-in helps seat the teeth and coating. Run at low load for a few minutes then recheck mesh and fasteners before normal driving.

What maintenance helps extend pinion life?

Keep the gearbox free of grit, inspect teeth for chips, and avoid extreme motor timing or gear ratios that place excessive load on the pinion.
