Long-life Steel Pinion for Smooth Power Delivery

The Tamiya 50517 0.8 Steel 16T Pinion Gear is built from hardened steel to give hobbyists a dependable option for routine repairs or straightforward upgrades. It is made to handle regular driving demands while fitting a variety of 16-tooth applications.

Fitment and Application Notes

This 16T pinion works with many popular RC car setups and delivers consistent motor-to-gear engagement for cleaner torque transfer. Use it when you need reliable tooth count and pitch for standard spur gear pairings.

Mounting and Care Advice

When fitting the Tamiya 50517 pinion gear, tighten the set screw to the motor shaft and check backlash with the spur gear to prevent skipping. Periodic inspection and light lubrication will keep wear even and extend service life.

Which models typically accept this pinion gear?

Many Tamiya and compatible 1/10 scale cars that use a 0.8 module 16T pinion can accept this part; always confirm shaft diameter and module before buying.

Can changing to this 16T pinion alter top speed?

Swapping pinion sizes affects gear ratio and can change acceleration or top speed; a 16T will suit setups needing standard gearing but check your spur size first.

How do I prevent slippage on the motor shaft?

Use the correct set screw torque, consider a thread locker if appropriate for your setup, and ensure the shaft is clean and burr-free before installation.
