Precision Steel Pinion for TGX 2-Speed Units

The Tamiya 53283 - TGX 2-Speed Transmission Steel Pinion Gear provides a robust replacement for the TGX transmission, aimed at hobbyists who demand reliable operation. Its high-quality steel build resists deformation and keeps gear teeth true under heavy loads. Accurate tooth sizing helps the pinion mesh cleanly with the TGX assembly for predictable shifting and controlled acceleration.

Feature Highlights

Material: Heat-resistant steel for consistent performance
Compatibility: Intended for Tamiya TGX 2-speed transmission fitment
Functionality: Supports efficient power transfer and stable speeds
Application: Good choice for club racing and high-use vehicles

Can I use this pinion in an older TGX gearbox?

It is made for TGX 2-speed transmissions; older variants may require checking tooth profile and spacer length to confirm fit.

Will steel gears change how the car feels on track?

Steel pinions are stiffer than plastic types, which can tighten power delivery and reduce deformation under load, giving more consistent shift feel.

How should I set up gear mesh with this part?

Set a small clearance to avoid binding, then run a short break-in at low load to confirm smooth engagement before full-speed use.

Is lubrication recommended for steel pinions?

Yes, use a light gear grease on the spur interface and maintain bearings to reduce friction and extend component life.
