Tune Drive Efficiency with the Tamiya 42229 30T Pinion

The Tamiya 42229 is a 30T pinion gear made from hard-coated aluminum, engineered to help racers refine driveline response. Built under the TRF line, this pinion uses an 04 module pitch to maintain reliable tooth engagement and consistent power delivery.

Durability and Smooth Tooth Engagement

The hard-coated finish on the Tamiya 42229 improves surface hardness to resist wear during heavy use. The rounded tooth profile reduces friction loss so the motor's torque is transferred more evenly to the spur and wheels.

Fits TRF and F1 04 Module Spur Systems

This pinion suits Tamiya TRF416, TRF417 and F1 chassis that use 04 module spur gears, making it a straightforward swap when adjusting gear ratios for racing conditions.

How should I set gear mesh with this pinion?

Set a minimal clearance between pinion and spur that allows smooth rotation by hand, then tighten the pinion locking screw and recheck mesh under load. Use a thin shim or the manufacturer recommended method to avoid binding.

Do I need special lubrication for the hard-coated surface?

The hard-coating reduces breakdown, so only light gear grease on the spur is needed; avoid heavy oils that can attract grit and accelerate wear.

Is this pinion suitable for high torque brushless setups?

Yes, the hard-coated aluminum helps resist wear, but ensure the gear size and motor torque are compatible with your spur and drivetrain bearings to prevent stripping under heavy load.
