Description and specs

The MG223T/0.5M pinion is a 23-tooth motor gear designed for RC applications, sized with a 0.5mm module and a 2.2mm motor tooth diameter. Its round motor hole is secured by two 3x3 set screws and the 40Cr steel construction helps maintain tooth form under load.

Fitting procedure: verify shaft and module compatibility, push the pinion onto the motor shaft until proper mesh is achieved, then secure using the two 3x3 set screws. Confirm correct backlash and alignment at low throttle before full operation.

Tuning guidance: swapping to this pinion restores correct gear engagement and can stabilise drivetrain response; always check the overall gear ratio when changing pinion size to maintain desired performance characteristics.

How does changing to this pinion affect gearing?

Altering pinion tooth count changes the overall gear ratio; increasing teeth raises top speed at the cost of acceleration, while fewer teeth improve acceleration but lower top speed. Verify ratio impact before racing or heavy use.

Will this pinion work with my current spur gear?

It will mesh correctly only if the spur gear shares the same module specification and the motor tooth diameter matches 2.2mm. Always check module and tooth form to avoid poor engagement.

Any tips for preventing slippage on the shaft?

Ensure the shaft is clean and undamaged, tighten the two 3x3 set screws evenly, and consider a small thread locker if compatible with your motor and maintenance plan to reduce loosening over time.
