Precision Steel Pinions for TGX 2-Speed Units

The Tamiya 53282 pinion gear set is a direct-fit steel upgrade for TGX 2-speed transmissions, offering a 15 and 19 tooth pair to refine gear engagement. Manufactured from hardened steel, these pinions resist wear and maintain stable mesh under repeated load cycles, making them appropriate for competitive or regular running.

Performance and Reliability

Replacing stock pinions with the Tamiya 53282 set reduces deformation and helps preserve gearbox geometry. The improved durability supports consistent shifting and fewer service intervals when compared to softer materials.

Fitting Advice and Service Notes

When installing, check pinion depth and set accurate backlash to avoid premature wear. Regular cleaning and light lubrication ensure the steel pinions continue to perform and reduce the risk of corrosion.

What is the recommended backlash for these pinions?

Aim for a small, consistent backlash that permits free rotation without excessive play; check your model handbook for the exact figure and fine tune with shims if necessary.

How do I check pinion alignment?

Set the motor or input shaft, fit the pinion and run the gearbox by hand to feel for smooth engagement, then inspect tooth contact and adjust shims until contact is even across the tooth faces.

Are there compatibility limits with other Tamiya gearsets?

These pinions are designed for TGX transmissions; using them with other gearsets may require different spacing or adapters. Verify dimensions before mixing components.

When should I replace the pinions?

Replace when you observe chipped teeth, noticeable play, or after repeated heavy loads. Regular inspection helps you spot wear early.

Do I need special grease for metal gears?

Use a light gear grease rated for metal-on-metal contact; avoid thick pastes that attract debris and consider a corrosion inhibitor if storing the model for extended periods.
