Introduction to the Tamiya 15289 Pinion Set

The Tamiya 15289 JR RC 8T Pinion Gear Set is designed for Mini 4WD hobbyists who need dependable gear meshing and flexibility during tuning. The pack pairs a metal pinion for longevity with plastic pinions to let you trial different setups without extra expense.

Compatibility and Performance

The metal pinion is intended to mount securely on standard motor shafts to reduce slop and tooth skipping. The included plastic pinions are ideal for quick ratio swaps and for testing how changes affect acceleration and top speed on various layouts.

Maintenance and Usage Advice

Use this set to refine drivetrain response and achieve more consistent lap times. Simple maintenance like removing grit, checking for damaged teeth, and ensuring correct mesh will extend pinion life and preserve drivetrain efficiency.

Which pinion should I use for short tracks?

For tighter, technical tracks the plastic pinions can be useful to prioritise acceleration, while the metal pinion is better for long straights or heavier loads.

How often should I inspect the pinions?

Check pinions after every few race sessions or if you notice vibration or noise; early detection of wear prevents drivetrain damage and keeps performance consistent.
