Aftermarket 16T Pinion for MTX-5 Compatibility

The Arrowmax AM-MTX4-T0724 pinion is a 16-tooth, 7075 hard aluminium unit designed for use with Mugen MTX-5 compatible drivetrains. It is supplied as an RC-scale upgrade part to fine tune gear ratio and influence acceleration and top speed in model car applications, not for real road vehicles.

When setting up, the pinion determines final gearing and works together with the spur gear and gearbox internals. Inspect gear faces for any damage, set the mesh so teeth contact evenly across their width, and make sure motor bearings and shaft alignment are free from play. Proper engagement helps avoid early wear and keeps throttle feel predictable.

To tune performance, swap the pinion tooth count to change acceleration or cruising speed, then check engagement under load. This item is intended to fit into the existing pinion mount of the compatible chassis; no additional adapters or tools are assumed to be included.

Yes, the pinion itself is suitable for brushless motor installations when the shaft size and mounting method match; always confirm the spline or set screw compatibility before fitting.
Increasing teeth gives higher top speed and less low-end punch, while fewer teeth improve acceleration; pair changes with spur size adjustments to tune performance effectively.
Keep gears free of grit, check mesh periodically, and avoid running under severe binding; light periodic inspection will prolong the pinion's service life.
