Reliable Steel Pinion for Everyday RC Use

The Tamiya 50517 0.8 Steel 16T Pinion Gear is a durable steel option aimed at hobbyists needing a dependable replacement. Its construction supports steady engagement and dependable service in common 16T applications.

Suitable Models and Uses

This pinion is compatible with many RC cars that specify a 0.8 module 16-tooth pinion, offering a predictable transfer of power from the motor to the gearbox in both on-road and light off-road setups.

Best Practice for Installation

When installing the Tamiya 50517 pinion gear, make sure the shaft and gear are clean, align mesh to remove backlash, and secure the pinion with the correct torque on the set screw to avoid movement during runs.

How do I check if the pinion matches my motor shaft?

Measure the motor shaft diameter and compare to the pinion bore; also confirm the 0.8 module and 16T tooth count match your spur gear before fitting.

Is this pinion suitable for competitive use?

It is suitable for routine and club-level competition where reliability matters, though racers may choose different tooth counts or materials based on specific track conditions.

Should I use loctite on the set screw?

A mild thread locker can prevent loosening during heavy use, but use a removable grade and apply sparingly to allow future servicing.
