AXIAL SCX6 JEEP JLU WRANGLER Motor Pinion Gear 16T by GPM SCX6016TS  [SCX6016TS]

High carbon steel 16T pinion gear

This GPM SCX6016TS motor pinion is an RC-scale replacement part designed for direct drive on compatible hobby motors. Made from high carbon steel, the 16-tooth pinion is intended to transmit torque from the motor to the drivetrain without implying any real vehicle application.

The pinion features a 5mm centre bore and 1mm tooth spacing, matching motors and spur gears that share the same pitch and shaft size. Its role in setup and tuning is straightforward: maintain correct gear mesh, ensure concentric mounting on the motor shaft, and use the included screw shaft to secure the pinion where applicable. The item connects with the motor and carries the motor load during operation, so check shaft fit and mesh before full-power runs.

Compatibility and selection notes, in neutral terms: confirm your motor shaft diameter is 5mm and that your spur gear uses a 1mm tooth pitch; using a stronger steel pinion can reduce deformation under load compared with softer stock gears, which may help maintain consistent gear mesh in scale crawling or rock-bouncing setups.
