This Kyosho CL017 pinion is an RC-scale motor pinion specified as 12T for the KC10 chassis. It is designed to work with KC10 drivetrains that use 0.8M pitch gearing and serves as a straightforward option when altering the final drive ratio for tuning acceleration or top speed.
Installation is simple but needs attention: confirm the motor shaft diameter and set correct mesh with the spur gear to avoid premature tooth wear. Check axial alignment and minimize runout on the motor shaft, tighten mounting hardware to secure the pinion without deforming the motor shaft, and spin the drivetrain by hand before powering up the electronics.
In tuning terms, fitting a 12T pinion moves the gear ratio towards higher acceleration compared with larger pinions, while smaller pinions reduce load on the ESC and motor. Always verify battery, ESC, and motor setup after changing gear ratios to ensure system reliability.
