Overview

The AXIAL Pinion Gear 32P 12T Steel 5mm Motor Shaft is a precision-engineered replacement part designed for serious RC enthusiasts who demand reliable performance from their RC cars and trucks. This steel pinion gear is engineered to mesh perfectly with your motor's 5mm shaft, delivering smooth power transmission and consistent acceleration across a wide range of RC vehicle types. Whether you're running a rock racer, crawler, or any Axial model that requires this specific fitment, this pinion gear represents the quality and engineering you expect from Axial's reputation in the UK RC hobby market.

As an optional upgrade or replacement part, this pinion gear is ideal for RC hobbyists who want to fine-tune their vehicle's performance characteristics or replace worn components to restore their RC truck or buggy to peak condition. The 12-tooth configuration combined with the 32-pitch standard makes this a popular choice for builders and racers alike who understand the importance of quality drivetrain components in their RC setup.

Built from durable steel construction, this pinion gear offers superior longevity compared to plastic alternatives, making it an excellent investment for anyone serious about maintaining their RC vehicle or optimising their ready to run RC truck for better performance on the track or trail.

Key Features

• 32-Pitch Steel Construction — The 32-pitch specification ensures compatibility with standard Axial gearboxes and drivetrain systems, whilst the steel material provides exceptional durability and resistance to wear, meaning your RC car will maintain consistent gear engagement over extended use and demanding terrain.
• 12-Tooth Pinion Configuration — This tooth count is carefully engineered to balance acceleration and top-end performance, giving your RC rock racer or RC truck the right gearing for responsive handling and smooth power delivery without sacrificing stability.
• 5mm Motor Shaft Fitment — The precision 5mm shaft diameter ensures a secure fit on compatible Axial motors, eliminating wobble or slippage and guaranteeing reliable power transfer from motor to drivetrain on every run.
• Replacement and Optional Parts Compatibility — This pinion gear serves as either a direct replacement for worn components or an optional upgrade part for models including the 1/10 Yeti 4WD Rock Racer, allowing you to experiment with gearing ratios to perfect your RC vehicle's performance profile.
• Precision Engineering — Each gear tooth is manufactured to exacting standards to ensure smooth meshing with your spur gear, reducing vibration, noise and stress on your RC car's drivetrain whilst maximising power efficiency.

Technical Performance

This AXIAL pinion gear represents professional-grade RC component engineering, utilising quality steel throughout its construction to withstand the demanding forces experienced during aggressive driving, jumps and high-speed runs with your RC vehicle. The 32-pitch specification aligns with Axial's ecosystem of drivetrain parts, ensuring perfect compatibility with your existing RC truck or rock racer gearbox. The 12-tooth configuration strikes an optimal balance for most driving styles—whether you're focusing on rock crawling trails where controlled torque matters, or faster track running where responsive acceleration is essential. The 5mm motor shaft diameter provides a robust connection point that eliminates gear slippage under load, a critical factor for maintaining consistency across multiple runs of your RC car. The steel material composition ensures long service life even under heavy use, resisting the tooth deformation and stripping that can occur with plastic pinion gears over time. This makes it an intelligent choice for UK RC hobbyists who want their equipment to deliver reliable performance week after week, whether they're enjoying casual weekend bashing or more serious competitive RC activity.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will this pinion gear fit my Axial RC vehicle? — This pinion gear is confirmed as a replacement part and optional upgrade for the 1/10 Yeti 4WD Rock Racer brushless RTR and the 1/10 Yeti 4WD Rock Racer Kit. The 5mm shaft diameter and 32-pitch specification make it compatible with these models, though you should verify compatibility with your specific RC vehicle before purchasing.
• What is the difference between 32-pitch and other pinion gear specifications? — The 32-pitch (32P) designation refers to the tooth spacing standard, which determines how the pinion gear meshes with your spur gear. A 32-pitch gear is a common standard in 1/10 scale RC vehicles and ensures precise engagement with compatible Axial drivetrain components. Different pitch specifications affect how the gears fit together, so always match the pitch specification of your pinion and spur gears.
• Why choose a steel pinion gear over plastic alternatives? — Steel construction offers substantially greater durability and resistance to wear compared to plastic pinion gears, especially under aggressive driving conditions. Steel gears maintain their shape longer, resist tooth stripping and deformation, and ultimately deliver better longevity and reliability for your RC rock racer or RC truck, making them the preferred choice for serious hobbyists.
• Can I use this to upgrade the gearing on my RC car? — Yes, as an optional parts component, this pinion gear can be used to adjust your RC vehicle's performance characteristics. Changing tooth count alters your vehicle's acceleration and top speed balance. Always consult your vehicle manual or experienced RC enthusiasts to understand how gearing changes will affect your specific RC truck or buggy before making modifications.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — This is a replacement or upgrade component rather than a standalone product, so it's best suited for RC hobbyists who have some familiarity with RC vehicle maintenance and drivetrain work. Beginners should consult their vehicle manual or seek advice from experienced RC enthusiasts before attempting to replace or upgrade pinion gears.
