FAQ

Fit the Tamiya 3515001 13T pinion for smoother drivetrain operation

The Tamiya 13T Pinion Gear is built for model enthusiasts who need a precise aluminium pinion that reduces noise and stands up to regular use. Its accurate tooth profile helps maintain consistent engagement under load.

Feature overview for the 13T pinion

Material: Aluminium manufacturing gives resilience and quieter running compared with softer materials.
Pitch: 32 pitch standard ensures compatibility with common 32P spurs and gears.
Teeth Count: 13 teeth provides a compromise between low-end pull and higher top speed.
Compatibility: Designed to fit most cars that take a 32P pinion, including classic Tamiya models such as the Clod Buster and Bullhead.

What shaft sizes does this pinion support?

Confirm your motor shaft diameter and spline before fitting. The pinion fits common shaft standards, but you may need an adapter for non-standard motors.

How do I avoid premature wear on the aluminium pinion?

Avoid grit and heavy side loads, keep the gearbox sealed where possible, and swap the pinion when teeth show rounding. Regular cleaning helps prolong life.

Can this pinion be used for tuning gear ratio?

Yes. Changing the pinion tooth count alters the overall ratio. Use a careful step approach and monitor motor temps to avoid overloading the drive system.

Is this suitable for vintage Tamiya restorations?

The 32P 13T pinion fits many older Tamiya models. Check gear pitch and shaft compatibility when restoring vintage rigs to ensure correct fit and function.
