Steel pinion pair for final drive tuning

These two steel pinions are supplied as a pair for HPI Baja applications, comprising one 16T and one 18T gear. Both pinions feature a 5mm bore to suit standard motor shafts and have been profile regraded to engage the stock spur gear or SBJ057T. They allow small, controlled changes to final drive so you can refine acceleration versus top speed without changing the spur.

As hardened steel items, the pinions resist wear better than softer materials and are suitable for typical RC torque demands across on-road and off-road use. The pair format makes it straightforward to swap and compare performance on the car or at the track.

Use the set to test gearing options on HPI Baja rigs, confirm correct mesh and backlash, and replace worn pinions with matching hardened-steel parts.

Yes, provided the brushless motor uses a 5mm output shaft. Confirm shaft size before fitting and check gear mesh after installation.
The difference is modest but useful: 16T typically gives quicker acceleration while 18T raises theoretical top speed slightly, depending on motor and pinion/spur combo.
Adjust motor position or shims to achieve a smooth mesh with slight backlash; spin by hand to confirm no binding before power runs.
Yes, offering two close tooth-count options is a simple and effective way to refine gearing without carrying multiple spurs or extensive mods.
