FAQ

Fit a tough Tamiya 3515001 13T pinion to your monster truck

This 13T pinion from Tamiya is designed for builders who need a reliable aluminium pinion that handles the stresses of monster truck use. Precision cutting lowers backlash and helps the gearbox run cleaner and quieter.

Why this 13T pinion stands out

Material: Aluminium construction for a strong, lightweight replacement part.
Pitch: 32 pitch specification works with standard 32P spurs and gears.
Teeth Count: 13 teeth to offer a sensible balance between acceleration and top speed.
Compatibility: Suitable for most vehicles using a 32P pinion, including Tamiya Clod Buster and Bullhead models.

Will this pinion fit my gearbox without mods?

If your vehicle uses a 32P pinion and the shaft diameter or spline matches, it should fit with no major modifications. Check shaft size and set screw alignment first.

Is aluminium better than steel for pinions?

Aluminium is lighter and quieter, reducing wear on bearings. It can wear faster than hardened steel under extreme load, so inspect it regularly on high-torque rigs.

How do I set correct mesh with this pinion?

Loosen the motor mount, position the motor until teeth sit with a small clearance, then tighten and test by rotating the gearbox by hand to ensure smooth engagement.

Can I swap tooth counts to change gearing?

Yes. Increasing teeth raises top speed while reducing torque, and fewer teeth boost acceleration. Stay within your motor and ESC limits to avoid overheating.
