Heavy-Duty 16T Pinion for Consistent Drive

The Tamiya 50517 0.8 Steel 16T Pinion Gear offers a solid steel option for hobbyists wanting a durable replacement gear. Its construction is aimed at everyday running and keeps gear engagement predictable across different models.

Where It Fits

This pinion is suitable for a wide selection of electric and nitro RC cars that use a 0.8 module 16-tooth pinion. It maintains steady motor output to the drivetrain when used with the matching spur gear.

Installation Hints

Secure the Tamiya 50517 pinion onto a clean motor shaft and check mesh by rotating the gear by hand. Make small motor mount adjustments until you get quiet, free-running mesh without binding.

Do I need any special tools to fit the pinion?

Basic hex keys and a small driver for the set screw are usually enough; a dial gauge or feeler can help fine tune gear mesh if you have one.

Is steel better than brass for this part?

Steel gives higher wear resistance compared with softer metals, making it preferable for higher load situations or frequent running.

How often should I inspect the pinion?

Check the teeth and set screw after several runs or after any impact; look for wear, chips, or loosening to avoid drivetrain damage.
