Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: What materials are used in this pinion gear set? A: This pinion gear set is made of hardened steel. The steel is CNC machined for increased wear resistance and improved fatigue life.
• Q: What are the dimensions of the pinion gears? A: Each pinion gear has a length of fourteen millimeters and a tooth face width of seven millimeters. They fit motors with a shaft diameter of three point one seven five millimeters.
• Q: What is the tooth count for each gear in this set? A: This set includes four pinion gears with tooth counts of twenty-eight, twenty-nine, thirty, and thirty-one. These different tooth counts provide versatility for various applications.
• Q: How do I install these pinion gears onto a motor? A: To install the pinion gears, align them with the motor's shaft and secure them using the included M3x4mm set screws. Use the provided one point five millimeter hex wrench for tightening.
• Q: Are these pinion gears compatible with specific RC vehicles? A: Yes, these pinion gears are compatible with various RC vehicles such as Traxxas E-Revo, Slash VXL, and Rustler VXL. They can also work with associated brands like Losi and Redcat.
• Q: Can these gears be used for high-performance applications? A: Yes, these hardened steel gears are designed for high-performance applications due to their durability and resistance to wear. They are suitable for competitive racing and hobbyist use.
• Q: How should I clean and maintain these pinion gears? A: To maintain these pinion gears, clean them with a soft cloth after use to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals that may damage the steel surface.
• Q: Is there a warranty or guarantee for this product? A: Yes, this product typically comes with a manufacturer’s warranty against defects. Please check with the retailer for specific warranty details.
• Q: What should I do if a pinion gear arrives damaged? A: If a pinion gear arrives damaged, contact customer support immediately for assistance. They will guide you through the return or exchange process.
• Q: Can I use these pinion gears in wet conditions? A: While these gears are made of hardened steel, it is advisable to avoid using them in wet conditions. Moisture can lead to corrosion over time.
• Q: What is the pitch of these pinion gears? A: The pitch of these pinion gears is forty-eight. This pitch is standard for many RC applications, ensuring compatibility with various spur gears.
• Q: Do these pinion gears require any special tools for installation? A: Yes, the installation requires a one point five millimeter hex wrench, which is included in the package. This tool is essential for securing the set screws.
• Q: How many pinion gears come in this set? A: This set contains four pinion gears with different tooth counts. You will receive twenty-eight, twenty-nine, thirty, and thirty-one tooth gears.
• Q: Can these gears be used with non-RC applications? A: While primarily designed for RC applications, these gears can potentially be used in other mechanical setups requiring small pinion gears, provided the dimensions match.
• Q: Are the materials used in this product safe and non-toxic? A: Yes, the materials used in this product, primarily hardened steel, are safe for mechanical applications. However, they are not intended for direct contact with food or consumables.
