Tune drive characteristics with Tamiya 48 pitch pinions

For hobbyists aiming to refine handling or speed, Tamiya offers 48 Pitch Pinion Gears in 13T, 14T and 15T. These help you dial in gear ratios for TRF501X and DB-01 platforms.

Fine stepping for setup tuning

The three pinion sizes let you change gearing in small increments so you can match the car to surface grip and driving approach without swapping major components.

Included parts list

Pinion Gears: 13T, 14T, 15T
3x3mm Grub Screws: 3 pieces
1.5mm Hex Wrench: 1 piece

Possible gear ratios by chassis

Mix these pinions with the listed spur gears to achieve the following ratios:

TRF501X Chassis:

13T: 16.62:1 with 96T Spur Gear
14T: 15.43:1 with 96T Spur Gear
15T: 14.40:1 with 96T Spur Gear

DB-01 Chassis:

13T: 14.39:1 with 91T Spur Gear
14T: 13.36:1 with 91T Spur Gear
15T: 12.47:1 with 91T Spur Gear

Can I use these pinions with brushless motors?

Yes, they work with brushless or brushed motors provided the motor shaft fits and the gear pitch is 48. Confirm shaft diameter and mounting method first.

Any tips on setting gear mesh?

Set a slight backlash by aligning motor and spur, then use a business card or feeler method to get a small clearance. Tighten the grub screw and recheck mesh after a few laps.

Should I change pinions for different track temperatures?

Track conditions affect traction; colder or lower grip tracks may benefit from a lower pinion (smaller tooth count) to improve driveability, while high grip venues can use larger pinions for more top speed.
