KC10 Pinion Gear Summary

The Kyosho CL017 is a 12T motor pinion designed for the KC10 chassis. It is compatible with KC10 drivetrains using 0.8M pitch gears and offers a simple means to change the final drive ratio for tuning purposes.

Installation is straightforward but requires attention to detail: verify motor shaft diameter and establish the correct mesh with the spur gear to avoid accelerated wear. Check alignment and shaft runout, fasten the pinion without distorting the shaft, and manually rotate the drivetrain before powering the system.

From a tuning viewpoint, a 12T pinion biases the ratio toward stronger acceleration compared with larger pinions, while smaller pinions tend to lower electrical loading on the ESC and motor. After swapping pinions, confirm battery, ESC, and motor settings to ensure continued reliability.
Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some Kyosho items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

How can I confirm this pinion matches my KC10 parts?

This pinion is specified for KC10 gearsets with 0.8M pitch; check your kit documentation for pitch size and measure the motor shaft to ensure the pinion will mount correctly.

What checks should I perform after fitting?

After installation, rotate the drivetrain by hand to verify smooth mesh, run a short low-power test and then re-torque the pinion to confirm nothing has loosened or shifted position.

Is a 12T suitable for race tuning?

A 12T pinion typically increases acceleration and may be used for tighter, acceleration-focused setups, but monitor motor and ESC temperatures and adjust gearing if sustained loading becomes an issue.
