Reliable metal pinions from Tamiya 53081

The Tamiya 53081 Steel Pinion Gear Set supplies both 20T and 21T hardened steel pinions to replace weaker plastic equivalents. These pinions are aimed at users who want steady gear engagement and longer intervals between replacements.

Hardened steel for stable tooth form

Tamiya 53081 pinions are produced from high grade steel to keep tooth profile intact under stress. That stability helps maintain smooth power transfer and consistent mesh throughout a race or practice session.

Fits common motor and gearbox configurations

These pinions work with many popular motor mounts and gearboxes, offering a straightforward option when swapping ratios or updating worn parts across multiple rigs.

Practical for tuning and repairs

Whether fine-tuning gearing for track conditions or replacing tired pinions during maintenance, the Tamiya 53081 set gives two nearby sizes to adjust acceleration and top speed. Always check mesh and alignment when fitting metal pinions.

Will these pinions damage the spur gear?

When correctly meshed and lubricated, steel pinions will not harm a matching spur gear. Poor mesh or debris can increase wear, so clean and set backlash carefully.

Which pinion is better for circuit racing versus bashing?

Use the 21T for higher top speed on circuits and the 20T for stronger acceleration in bashing or tight, technical layouts. Consider motor characteristics as well.
