This Kyosho CL017 pinion is an RC-scale motor pinion specified as 12T for the KC10 chassis. It is made for KC10 drivetrains that use 0.8M pitch gearing and provides a direct option for changing the final drive ratio to influence acceleration or top speed.
Fitting is straightforward but requires care: confirm the motor shaft diameter and set the correct mesh with the spur gear to prevent premature tooth wear. Verify axial alignment, minimize runout on the motor shaft, tighten mounting hardware without deforming the shaft, and rotate the drivetrain by hand before powering the electronics.
From a tuning perspective, installing a 12T pinion shifts the ratio toward quicker acceleration compared with larger pinions, while smaller pinions reduce load on the ESC and motor. After any gear change, recheck battery, ESC, and motor behavior to ensure reliable operation.
