Tuned 17T Aluminium Pinion for Smoother Power Delivery

The Tamiya 54768 - 06 Module Hard Coated Aluminum Pinion Gear (17T) is a compact drivetrain component aimed at improving smoothness and longevity. Forged from light aluminium and treated with a hard coating, it balances low weight with surface durability. The optimised tooth geometry helps to reduce energy loss and lowers background gear noise for cleaner power transfer.

Suitable Tamiya Chassis List

This 17T pinion will work with a range of Tamiya models, including TT-02, TT-02 Type-S, TT-02D, M-07 Concept, MF-01X, F104, RM-01, DF-02, TT-02B, and CR-01. This makes it convenient for tuners who maintain several Tamiya vehicles.

Setup and Maintenance Advice

When installing the Tamiya 54768 pinion, check gear mesh alignment and set correct backlash to avoid premature wear. Periodic inspections and light servicing will keep gear engagement consistent and extend part life.

The hard coat improves surface resistance but does not make the pinion invulnerable; correct mesh and regular checks remain important to avoid wear.
Set a small amount of backlash so the gears run smoothly without binding; then run-in gently and recheck to ensure stability under load.
Yes, when matched to the correct spur and motor it suits on-road touring and similar setups where smooth, efficient power transfer is valued.
Keep the mesh clear of grit, check fixings after hard runs, and replace if you notice chipped or deformed teeth to preserve drivetrain health.
