Fine-tune drive efficiency with an 18-tooth pulley

The Tamiya 53989 Center Pulley brings precise 18-tooth gearing to your RC build to help smooth power flow across the drivetrain. Its engineered tooth profile reduces backlash and supports steadier throttle control. Suitable for a variety of Tamiya chassis, it is useful both for maintenance swaps and performance setup work.

Engineered for steady gear engagement

Produced to consistent tolerances, the Tamiya 18T center pulley helps maintain correct gear mesh and lowers the risk of premature wear. That consistent engagement is helpful when you are dialing in handling or running long practice sessions.

Main benefits

  • Compatibility: Works with many standard Tamiya chassis configurations.
  • Durability: Built to cope with regular running and practice use.
  • Performance: Supports cleaner power delivery and improved control.
Many older models accept the 18T pulley but check your chassis mounting and shaft measures first to be sure of fitment.
You may want to test different pinions to reach your desired acceleration or top speed; small pinion changes can noticeably affect the drive ratio.
Keep the area free of grit, inspect teeth for wear and ensure fasteners remain tight after the first few runs.
Yes, many racers use precise replacement pulleys like this for consistent gear mesh, though final performance depends on the whole drivetrain and tuning choices.
