Heavy Duty Pinion for Consistent Drive

The Tamiya 50518 0.8 Module Steel 18T Pinion Gear is made to deliver steady drivetrain performance and resist wear from regular running. Its precise 18-tooth cut and 0.8 module make it compatible with a wide range of engine setups.

Why Choose Steel for Your Pinion

Steel pinions like the Tamiya 50518 offer greater abrasion resistance than softer materials, which helps maintain smooth power delivery during extended sessions. That robustness is useful for drivers who compete or frequently practice.

Features Summary

Material: Durable steel designed to handle higher stress
Tooth Count: 18 teeth for a balanced speed and torque profile
Module: 0.8 module compatible with many engine gears
Usage: Good for upgrades, replacement parts, and race prep

Will this pinion work with my brushless motor?

It can be fitted to brushless motors that accept a 0.8 module gear, but confirm shaft diameter and grub screw position before fitting.

How do I set the gear mesh correctly?

Adjust mesh so teeth engage with a small clearance: spin the pinion while checking for smooth contact and minimal play, then lock the pinion in place.

Is grease recommended on the pinion?

A light gear-safe lubricant on the spur can reduce noise and wear; avoid heavy pastes that attract dirt to the mesh.

Can I replace an aluminium pinion with this steel one?

Yes, swapping to the Tamiya 50518 steel pinion is common for durability, provided the module and tooth count match your gearbox.
