Overview
The Traxxas 19-T Pinion Gear (48-pitch) Set TRX2419 is an essential performance tuning component for RC enthusiasts in the UK looking to optimise their electric RC vehicles. Whether you're running a Traxxas Ford Fiesta ST Rally model or another compatible RC car, this pinion gear allows you to fine-tune your vehicle's acceleration and top speed characteristics to suit your driving style and track conditions. Pinion gears are critical components in any RC car drivetrain, working in conjunction with your spur gear to transfer power from the motor to the wheels. By selecting the correct pinion tooth count, you can dramatically alter your vehicle's performance profile—lower tooth counts favour acceleration and torque, while higher counts allow for increased top speed at the expense of acceleration.
For anyone serious about RC car performance tuning, understanding pinion gear selection is fundamental. The Traxxas 19-T represents a mid-range option in the extensive selection of 48-pitch pinion gears offered by Traxxas, making it an ideal choice for drivers who want balanced acceleration and speed performance. Whether you're a weekend basher exploring the world of RC cars in the UK, a competitive racer fine-tuning your setup, or someone upgrading an existing Traxxas vehicle, this pinion gear delivers genuine Traxxas engineering and compatibility assurance that serious RC enthusiasts expect.
This genuine Traxxas component comes complete with a set screw fastening system, ensuring secure installation and reliable performance during your most demanding driving sessions. The precision manufacturing ensures smooth engagement with your spur gear, minimising noise and maximising drivetrain efficiency—crucial factors whether you're tackling competitive racing or recreational bashing.
Key Features
- 48-Pitch Specification — This pinion gear is manufactured to strict 48-pitch (48dp) standards, ensuring perfect compatibility with other Traxxas 48-pitch drivetrain components and allowing seamless integration into your existing RC car setup without the need for costly compatibility conversions.
- 19 Tooth Configuration — The 19-tooth count provides a balanced performance profile that delivers responsive acceleration whilst still maintaining competitive top speed capabilities, making it suitable for a wide range of driving conditions and skill levels across UK RC racing and bashing applications.
- Integrated Set Screw — The pinion gear comes equipped with a set screw fastening mechanism that locks securely onto your motor shaft, preventing slippage during hard acceleration or cornering and ensuring consistent, predictable power delivery to your wheels every time you drive.
- 3.2mm Bore Diameter — The precisely machined 3.2mm bore accommodates standard Traxxas motor shafts, ensuring a snug, secure fit that eliminates play in the drivetrain and maintains maximum power transfer efficiency throughout your driving session.
- Genuine Traxxas Manufacturing — As an official Traxxas component, this pinion gear is manufactured to the same exacting standards as the rest of your Traxxas vehicle, guaranteeing reliability and compatibility with all Traxxas 48-pitch drivetrain systems and ensuring long-term durability even under demanding use.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas 19-T Pinion Gear is engineered with precision-cut teeth that engage smoothly with your spur gear, minimising drivetrain vibration and noise whilst maximising power transmission efficiency. The 48-pitch specification represents Traxxas's standard for many of their popular electric RC vehicles, including the Ford Fiesta ST Rally range in both standard and brushless variants. At 19 teeth, this pinion offers a sweet spot for balanced performance tuning—it's neither aggressive in acceleration characteristics nor optimised purely for top speed, making it an excellent choice for drivers who want versatility across different driving scenarios. The set screw mechanism provides mechanical security that prevents the pinion from spinning on the motor shaft during acceleration, a critical consideration when you're pushing your RC car to its limits. The 3.2mm bore is precisely machined to tight tolerances, ensuring consistent seating on standard Traxxas motor shafts and eliminating the micro-slippage that can occur with poorly fitting components. Whether you're running a stock motor or an upgraded brushless system, this pinion gear delivers the reliable performance that Traxxas owners have come to expect from genuine factory components.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What Traxxas vehicles is the 19-T pinion gear compatible with? — This pinion gear is specifically compatible with Traxxas vehicles that use 48-pitch drivetrain systems, including the Traxxas Ford Fiesta ST Rally VXL in green (TRX74276-4-GRN) and the Traxxas Ford Fiesta ST Rally BL-2S Rally Car in red (TRX74154-4-RED). However, compatibility extends to any Traxxas vehicle featuring 48-pitch gearing, so if you own a Traxxas electric RC car in the UK with this specification, this pinion will integrate seamlessly into your existing setup.
- How do I know if I need a new pinion gear? — You should consider replacing your pinion gear if you notice increased drivetrain noise, visible wear or missing teeth on the existing gear, or if you want to adjust your vehicle's acceleration and top speed characteristics. Even without visible damage, upgrading to a fresh genuine Traxxas pinion ensures optimal drivetrain performance and reliability.
- What is the difference between 19-tooth and other pinion counts? — Pinion tooth count directly affects your RC car's performance curve. A 19-tooth pinion like this one provides balanced performance. Lower tooth counts (such as 16 or 17) increase acceleration but sacrifice top speed, whilst higher tooth counts (such as 21 or 22) favour top speed at the cost of reduced acceleration. The 19-tooth configuration offers versatility across different track layouts and driving styles.
- How do I install the pinion gear and set screw? — The pinion gear slides onto your motor shaft, and the set screw is tightened to lock it in place and prevent rotation during operation. For detailed installation instructions, consult your vehicle's user manual or contact RC Model Shop for guidance.
- Will this pinion gear work with my brushless motor? — Yes, as long as your brushless motor features a standard 3.2mm motor shaft compatible with Traxxas 48-pitch drivetrain systems, this pinion will fit securely. The 19-T pinion works equally well with brushed and brushless motors, making it a versatile upgrade option.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. This pinion gear is suitable for RC enthusiasts at all skill levels. Beginners benefit from the balanced performance characteristics of the 19-tooth configuration, whilst more experienced drivers can appreciate the tuning flexibility it offers. Installation is straightforward with basic tools.
