Upgrade driveline feel with the 18 tooth centre pulley

The Tamiya 53989 Center Pulley supplies a precise 18 tooth option to refine how power moves through your RC vehicle. Its design promotes steady power transmission, which can improve throttle control and make handling more consistent. It fits a variety of Tamiya chassis and is useful for both maintenance and setup improvements.

Precision fit for reduced wear

Produced to accurate tolerances, the Tamiya 18T pulley helps achieve correct gear mesh and reduces unnecessary movement between parts. That precision supports longer component life and steadier performance during competition or hobby use.

Key points to consider

  • Compatibility: Compatible with many Tamiya chassis arrangements.
  • Durability: Made to last under regular operating conditions.
  • Performance: Enhances smoothness of torque delivery and improves handling consistency.

How do I confirm this pulley fits my model?

Refer to your chassis parts list and measure shaft diameter and mounting method; the pulley suits many models but physical checks are the best way to confirm fit.

Will changing to 18T require further tuning?

You may need to tweak pinion size or check gear mesh after fitting to achieve the desired balance between acceleration and top speed.

What should I inspect after installation?

Check gear mesh, ensure set screws are secure and run the car at low speed first to listen for unusual noises that indicate misalignment.

Is this part good for competitive use?

Yes, when combined with appropriate drivetrain parts and setup, a precision centre pulley can contribute to consistent lap times and reliable drivetrain behaviour.
