Enhance drivetrain function with the Tamiya 18T pinion

The Tamiya 18T Pinion Gear is a straightforward upgrade designed to refine power delivery for 540 motor setups in RC cars. It suits popular models such as the Grasshopper series, making it a handy part for builders looking to keep their rigs running smoothly.

Model fit and typical use

This pinion is made to mate cleanly with a range of Tamiya vehicles, including many Grasshopper editions. It works well whether you are restoring a vintage release or refreshing a newer iteration, and performs reliably across mixed surfaces.

Fitting and upkeep advice

When fitting the 18T pinion, confirm secure fastening to prevent slippage under load and set a correct gear mesh with the spur gear. Inspect the gear teeth and motor shaft at regular intervals to extend both gear and motor service life.
