Precise Gearing Options from Tamiya 53964

The Tamiya 53964 48P Pinion Gear set contains two aluminium pinions, 16T and 17T, enabling clear tuning choices between torque and top speed. It lets drivers adapt the gearing quickly to suit different circuit demands.

Compatibility Overview

These pinions are intended for TRF501X and DB01 chassis but can suit other vehicles that accept the 48P pitch and matching shaft size. They must not be used with 540SH or RS-540 Sport Tuned Motors, so confirm your motor model prior to fitment.

Material and Tooth Profile

Forged from aluminium with a titanium style finish, these pinions balance durability and low weight. The precision tooth profile reduces noise and helps maintain consistent engagement even under high loads.

Tuning Notes for Racers

Use the 16T when track sections favour acceleration and the 17T for higher top speed on faster layouts. Combining these with Tamiya gear parts like 53965 and 53966 gives you a broader spread of ratios to dial in lap times.

Measure the diameter of your motor shaft and verify the gear pitch is 48P. Many spurs and pinions list the pitch in their specs, which helps confirm compatibility.
Yes, aluminium pinions like these are commonly used for club racing. They offer a good balance of longevity and light weight for regular practice and race days.
Always recheck and adjust the gear mesh after swapping pinions. Small changes in tooth count can alter mesh and proper spacing prevents tooth damage and reduces noise.
