Can I use this gear on both on-road and off-road Tamiya cars?

Yes, the steel construction suits a wide range of surfaces; ensure correct gear mesh and check for contamination after off-road sessions to preserve tooth life.

Does steel #45 outperform brass pinions?

Steel #45 typically resists wear better under heavy loads than softer alloys, though correct setup and bearing quality still play major roles in overall drivetrain longevity.

What maintenance helps extend the life of this pinion?

Keep the gear free of grit, check mesh and backlash regularly, and replace any worn bearings to avoid uneven wear on the teeth.
