Precision 26T Pinion Gear

This 26-tooth pinion is presented as a precision replacement part for R/C motor drivetrains, intended for scale model use only. The gear's role in a setup is straightforward: change the pinion tooth count to alter final drive ratio, tune acceleration versus top speed, and match motor characteristics with the spur gear.

When fitting a pinion, confirm shaft diameter and gear pitch compatibility before installation. Proper mesh is critical—set mesh so teeth engage cleanly without binding, then secure the set screw and re-check mesh under load. A small amount of play at rest that closes under throttle is preferable to a tight mesh that binds.

For maintenance, inspect teeth for wear, burrs, or missing material and replace the pinion if any damage appears. Use light gear-specific lubricant on the gear interface only if recommended for your spur gear material, and keep gears free of grit and debris to prolong service life.

Choice of a 26T pinion is commonly used as a middle ground for refining gear ratios during tuning runs; pair it with your existing spur gear selection to dial in desired performance while observing motor temperature and ESC load.
