Tamiya 53964 Precision 48P Pinion Gear Set (16T, 17T) OP-964  [53964]

Dial In Drivetrain Performance with Tamiya 53964

The Tamiya 53964 48P Pinion Gear set gives you two aluminium pinions, 16T and 17T, to fine tune gear ratios for different circuits and driving styles. These options make it straightforward to trade acceleration for top speed or vice versa.

Fitment and Motor Compatibility

These pinions are intended primarily for TRF501X and DB01 chassis but can suit other builds if the shaft diameter and 48P tooth pitch match. They are not compatible with 540SH or RS-540 Sport Tuned Motors, so verify motor specs before installation.

Build Quality and Finish

Manufactured from durable aluminium and finished in a titanium tone, these pinions resist wear while keeping mass low. Precision machining helps reduce backlash and improves drive smoothness under load.

Practical Setup Tips

Pick the 16T pinion for stronger acceleration on tight technical tracks and the 17T where higher top speed is needed. Use these alongside related Tamiya parts such as the 53965 and 53966 to broaden your gearing choices when tuning.
