Give Your TGX a Stronger Gearset

The Tamiya 53282 pinion gear pair is tailored for TGX 2-speed transmissions and replaces softer stock parts with hardened steel. The matched 15 and 19 tooth gears improve shift quality and help keep your transmission running true under load. These steel pinions are a practical upgrade for regular trail or track sessions.

Why Metal Pinions Matter

Steel pinions like the Tamiya 53282 resist tooth wear and bending that can occur in intense driving. That means fewer gearbox issues and steadier power delivery, especially when you push the system during tight cornering or longer runs.

Maintenance Tips for Long Life

Install carefully and check gear mesh and shims to avoid premature wear. Regular cleaning and the right lubricant will keep the steel pinions performing well over many sessions.

Can I use these on a modified TGX?

Yes, they work on TGX transmissions, including setups with upgraded motors or slipper systems, but always check gear spacing and pinion depth after modifications.

Do steel pinions need different lubrication?

Use a light gear grease or oil rated for metal gears to reduce friction. Avoid heavy oils that can attract dirt and clog the mesh.

Will they make gear noise worse?

Properly adjusted steel pinions can run as quietly as stock gears. Noise often comes from incorrect mesh or worn bearings rather than material alone.

Are shims required when fitting?

Yes, fine adjustment with shims or spacer washers is recommended to set the correct backlash and avoid tooth damage.
