This 32-tooth pinion gear is manufactured to exacting standards to ensure smooth, consistent power delivery from your motor to the main gear train. The 15-tooth configuration at 32 diametral pitch (DP) delivers a specific gear ratio that optimises performance characteristics depending on your driving style and vehicle setup. Whether you're upgrading after wear, customising your vehicle's performance profile, or simply maintaining your RC collection, this genuine Axial part ensures you're using components that have been tested and validated by the manufacturer themselves, not inferior aftermarket alternatives.
The 5mm shaft size ensures perfect fitment with compatible Axial motor installations, eliminating compatibility issues that can arise from using generic or incorrectly-specified gears. For RC enthusiasts in the UK who demand authentic parts and reliable performance, the AXIAL Pinion Gear 32P 15T 5mm represents the gold standard in drivetrain components.
Key Features
- 32 Diametral Pitch (DP) Specification — The 32 DP rating defines the gear's tooth profile and engagement characteristics, ensuring it works seamlessly with matching Axial drivetrain components that share the same specification, preventing tooth damage and gear slippage during demanding driving conditions.
- 15-Tooth Pinion Configuration — This tooth count provides a specific reduction ratio when paired with compatible main gears, allowing you to fine-tune your vehicle's acceleration, top speed and torque delivery characteristics to suit your particular driving needs and terrain conditions.
- 5mm Shaft Diameter — The precisely-machined 5mm shaft size guarantees a secure fit on compatible Axial motor shafts, preventing slippage and ensuring consistent power transmission throughout your RC driving sessions without wobbling or misalignment issues.
- Genuine Axial Option Part — As an official Axial component rather than a clone or aftermarket alternative, this pinion gear is manufactured to the exact specifications and quality standards that Axial RC vehicles are designed around, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.
- Precision Manufacturing — Each tooth is cut to exacting tolerances, delivering smooth gear mesh and minimising noise and vibration during acceleration, helping you achieve the responsive handling that serious RC car UK drivers expect from quality components.
- Direct Replacement Part — Designed as a drop-in replacement for worn or damaged original pinion gears, this part simplifies maintenance and repairs without requiring complex adjustments or adaptations to your existing drivetrain.
Technical Performance
The AXIAL Pinion Gear 32P 15T 5mm is engineered with precision machining techniques that deliver consistent tooth profiles and engagement surfaces. At 32 diametral pitch, this gear is designed to mesh perfectly with Axial's range of main gears and drivetrain components, creating a smooth power path from your brushless or brushed motor through to your vehicle's wheels. The 15-tooth specification delivers specific gear reduction when paired with larger main gears, allowing you to optimise your RC vehicle's performance profile based on your driving conditions—whether you're tackling high-speed circuits, technical off-road terrain, or casual backyard bashing. The 5mm shaft has been precisely manufactured to exacting tolerances, ensuring a tight, secure fit on compatible motor shafts that eliminates play and guarantees consistent power delivery. The hardened steel or equivalent material construction resists wear and tooth damage during extended use, maintaining performance through countless charging cycles and driving sessions. The quality engineering inherent in genuine Axial option parts means you're investing in reliable components that have been validated through Axial's testing protocols and real-world use by RC enthusiasts worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a pinion gear and why would I need to replace mine? — A pinion gear is a small gear that sits on your motor shaft and transfers power to the main transmission gear. Over time, through normal use and demanding driving conditions, pinion gears can wear down, strip teeth, or become damaged, requiring replacement to maintain smooth, efficient power delivery and prevent drivetrain damage.
- Is this pinion gear compatible with all Axial RC vehicles? — This gear is an official Axial option part designed for specific Axial vehicles that use 32 DP drivetrain components with 5mm motor shafts. We recommend checking your specific vehicle's documentation or contacting our expert team at RC Model Shop to confirm compatibility before purchasing.
- What does the 32P specification mean? — The 32P (32 diametral pitch) describes the tooth profile and size of the gear, determining how it meshes with other drivetrain components. Gears must share the same DP specification to work together correctly and avoid damage or poor performance.
- How long does a pinion gear typically last? — Pinion gear lifespan depends on driving style, terrain, motor power, and maintenance practices. Aggressive driving, high-power motors, and sandy or muddy conditions accelerate wear. Regular inspection and timely replacement of worn gears helps prevent catastrophic drivetrain damage and keeps your RC vehicle running smoothly.
- Can I use aftermarket or clone pinion gears instead? — Whilst cheaper alternatives may be tempting, genuine Axial pinion gears are engineered to exact specifications and manufactured to superior quality standards, ensuring optimal meshing, durability, and performance that generic parts cannot match.
- Do I need any special tools to install this pinion gear? — Installation typically requires basic RC tools including a hex wrench or socket set, depending on your vehicle's motor assembly design. Consult your vehicle's manual for specific installation instructions, and don't hesitate to ask our team at RC Model Shop for guidance if you need it.
