Precision 35T Pinion for Tighter Gear Mesh

The Tamiya 42265 TRF 04 Hard Coat Aluminum Pinion Gear (35T) is aimed at modellers who want a light but wear-resistant pinion. Constructed from aluminium and finished with a hard coat, it helps maintain consistent engagement while keeping rotating mass low.

Hard Coat Advantages

The protective coating elevates surface hardness to slow down wear and the accurately cut teeth reduce friction. Together these traits support smoother rotation and predictable drivetrain behaviour under load.

Compatibility and Mounting Tips

Compatible with Tamiya 04 Module gear systems, this pinion suits a wide range of Tamiya vehicles. It is supplied with a 3mm grub screw for secure fitting and is straightforward to fit using standard pinion tools.

How do I check the gear mesh after fitting this pinion?

Fit the pinion and spur, then use the paper or shim method to set a small clearance between teeth. Rotate the drivetrain to confirm smooth contact across the tooth face.

What maintenance helps prolong pinion life?

Regularly inspect for burrs, ensure correct mesh and keep the spur gear clean. Occasional light lubrication on the gear face can help reduce wear without attracting debris.

Can I use this with steel spurs and different modules?

This pinion is made for 04 Module systems and pairs well with steel or aluminium spurs of the same module. Do not mix modules as that will affect mesh and performance.

Is this a good upgrade for lap time improvements?

It reduces friction and weight at the pinion end, which can contribute to slightly crisper throttle response, but lap gains depend on the whole drivetrain and setup.
