Precision pinion for steady power delivery

Model builders seeking a hard-wearing 17T Ultra Pinion will find spring steel construction helpful for maintaining consistent drive characteristics. It supports repeatable setup changes and regular running.

Material selection for stable performance

Crafted from spring steel, the pinion resists distortion and wear under load, helping to preserve gear geometry and minimise unexpected failures during practice and competition.

Practical use across many setups

The pinion is suitable for a range of RC car configurations and is handy when adjusting gearing for circuit or club events. It fits into common tuning workflows without fuss.

Do I need to change my spur gear when fitting this pinion?

Not always. Check the existing spur to ensure tooth condition and correct module. If teeth are worn or the spur uses a different module, replacement may be advisable.

How can I tell if the pinion is wearing out?

Look for rounded or chipped tooth edges, increased backlash, or noisy engagement under load. Regular inspection after track sessions will catch wear early.

Are replacement set screws or grub screws required?

Often the original set screw will work, but using a fresh screw with proper seating can improve security. Ensure the grub screw matches shaft diameter and is tightened to recommended torque.

Any tips for achieving quiet gear mesh?

Set a correct mesh with a thin shim method, ensure bearings are free and shafts are aligned, and use a light gear grease to dampen noise while avoiding excess that can attract debris.
