Compact Overview of the Tamiya 15289 Gear Set

The Tamiya 15289 JR RC 8T Pinion Gear Set provides a simple way to refine drivetrain response on Mini 4WD models. With a single metal pinion for strength and several plastic counterparts for tuning, it suits hobbyists who swap gearing for different circuits.

Compatibility and Mechanical Notes

The metal pinion is made to clamp onto common motor shafts and helps prevent backlash and tooth skipping. The inclusion of multiple plastic pinions supports quick experimentation with gear meshes and ratio changes during practice sessions.

Practical Racing Benefits

Using this gear set will help deliver cleaner power transfer and more repeatable lap times by improving gear alignment and reducing inconsistent slippage. Keep your pinions free of grit and re-check mesh after a few runs to maintain peak performance.

Do the plastic pinions wear faster than the metal one?

Plastic pinions can show wear sooner under high load or abrasive conditions, but they are inexpensive and useful for tuning before committing to the metal pinion.

How do I check pinion alignment?

Ensure the motor shaft and meshing gear sit parallel with minimal lateral play, then rotate the drivetrain by hand to spot any binding or uneven tooth contact.
