Tamiya 15289 JR RC 8T Pinion Gear Set Overview

The Tamiya 15289 JR RC 8T Pinion Gear Set is a compact upgrade for Mini 4WD racers who want dependable gear engagement and simple tuneability. The bundle supplies one metal pinion for strength and four plastic pinions to let you test different gear ratios and wear patterns without extra parts hunting.

Fitment and Drive Characteristics

The metal pinion is engineered to seat firmly on standard motor shafts, helping to reduce slippage under load. The set of four plastic pinions gives quick swap options for fine tuning top speed versus acceleration depending on track layout and tyre setup.

Track Use and Maintenance Tips

On race day this pinion set helps smooth out power transfer and consistent acceleration for Mini 4WD rigs. Regular inspection of the metal gear for burrs and periodic replacement of plastic pinions will keep your drivetrain running cleanly and reduce premature wear.

Can I use the metal pinion on any Mini 4WD motor?

The metal pinion fits most standard Mini 4WD motor shafts but always confirm shaft diameter and spline style before fitting to avoid slippage or incorrect seating.

When should I switch to the plastic pinions?

Use plastic pinions when you want a softer engagement, easier gear changes during tuning sessions, or to protect the gear train on rough tracks; keep the metal pinion for heavy duty runs.
