Baja 5b/5b Ss/5T 16T Steel Pinion SBJ016T Drive Replacement by GPM  [SBJ016T]

Steel 16T pinion for Baja drivetrains

This 16T steel pinion is intended as a direct motor pinion replacement for Baja 5b/5b Ss/5T vehicles. It is provided as a single steel pinion and should be used together with the SBJ058T spur gear to ensure correct mesh and dependable operation.

The pinion transmits torque from the motor to the spur while offering higher wear resistance than softer pinions. When fitting, locate the pinion on the motor shaft per the motor's fastening method, set an appropriate mesh against the matching spur, and secure the pinion to prevent axial movement. Routine checks for backlash and tooth wear will help keep the drivetrain quiet and reliable.

Provided as one steel pinion for applications where the matching spur gear specification is followed; do not combine with incompatible spur gears to avoid poor mesh or premature failure.

Fit this steel 16T pinion when replacing a worn motor pinion on the listed Baja models and pair it with the SBJ058T spur to maintain correct drivetrain alignment.
