Made from aluminum 7075 with hard anodic oxidation, these gears are designed for use with both brushed and brushless motors. The set gives you flexibility to adjust gear ratio for speed or torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat do the numbers 32DP, 12T mean?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e32DP (or 32P) refers to the pitch—the number of teeth per inch of gear diameter. This set uses 32DP, which is compatible with 0.8 metric module (0.8M) gears. The numbers 12T, 13T, 14T, 15T, and 16T indicate the number of teeth on each gear. A lower tooth count (like 12T) gives faster acceleration and more torque, while a higher count (like 16T) increases top speed. Mix and match to fine-tune your car's performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAluminum 7075 with hard anodic oxidation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach gear is machined from aluminum 7075, a high-strength alloy known for durability. The surface is treated with hard anodic oxidation and an anti-rust coating, which helps the gears resist wear and corrosion over time. The teeth are milled using a precision Tanwai machine, so they mesh smoothly with your spur gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to choose the right pinion gear for your RC car\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eYour choice affects acceleration, top speed, and motor temperature. For quicker acceleration and more torque, use a smaller pinion (fewer teeth) together with a larger spur gear. For higher top speed, go with a larger pinion. If your motor runs hot, a smaller pinion can help lower temperatures and extend motor and ESC life. The five sizes in this set give you a good range to experiment with.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation notes from the manufacturer\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoosen the motor slightly to slide the pinion onto the shaft. Make sure the grub screw locks onto the flat portion of the motor shaft.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen tightening, leave a small gap between the pinion and spur gear—about the thickness of a piece of paper. This prevents binding.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsure your spur gear has the same pitch (32DP) as these pinions, or the teeth will not mesh properly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis set fits motors with a 1\/8 inch (3.175mm) shaft.
