Tamiya 15053 - Type 3 High Speed Gear Introduction

The Tamiya 15053 High Speed Gear is a sensible upgrade for Mini 4WD enthusiasts seeking better control over performance. Engineered for the Type 3 chassis, it permits swapping gear ratios so you can select the factory 4:1 or switch to a 3.5:1 ratio to favour acceleration.

It also fits a range of other chassis, making it a flexible addition to a racer's toolkit. Compatible models include Type 5, Zero, Super 1, Super FM, and Super TZ chassis, which covers many common setups.

Will changing to 3.5:1 damage my drivetrain?

No, changing ratios itself is safe if the gears are installed correctly and components are in good condition. Monitor motor load and bearing wear after any ratio change.

Do I need a different motor with this gear set?

Not necessarily. Many stock motors will work, but pairing the gear ratio with motor choice helps you reach the desired balance between acceleration and top speed.

What checks should I do after installation?

After fitting, confirm gear mesh, ensure free rotation of shafts, and run a few practice laps to check temperature and behaviour under load.
