Key Features
- 32-pitch Gear Profile — This gear operates at 32-pitch (32DP) specifications, which is the industry-standard tooth profile that ensures perfect meshing with compatible Traxxas transmissions and spur gears, guaranteeing smooth, efficient power transfer and minimal drivetrain wear.
- 14-Tooth Configuration — With exactly 14 teeth, this pinion gear delivers a carefully balanced gear ratio that directly influences your RC car's acceleration and top speed characteristics, making it ideal for drivers seeking optimal performance tuning options.
- 5mm Shaft Bore — The precision 5mm shaft bore is engineered to fit securely onto compatible Traxxas motor shafts, ensuring rock-solid engagement without slippage and maintaining consistent power delivery throughout your driving sessions.
- 0.8 Metric Pitch Compatibility — This gear meets 0.8 metric pitch specifications, ensuring complete compatibility across Traxxas's 32-pitch ecosystem and allowing seamless integration with your existing drivetrain components.
- Genuine Traxxas OEM Quality — As an authentic Traxxas component, this pinion gear is manufactured to the exact specifications Traxxas engineers designed your RC vehicle to use, guaranteeing perfect fit, finish and durability that aftermarket alternatives cannot match.
- Wide Model Compatibility — This pinion gear is confirmed compatible with multiple colour variants of the Traxxas Stampede 4X4 HD VXL (blue, orange, and green versions), making it a versatile spare for popular ready to run RC monster trucks.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas 14-T Pinion Gear represents precision engineering at its finest. Manufactured to exacting tolerances, this 32-pitch gear is designed to work in perfect harmony with Traxxas brushless motor systems and transmission assemblies. The 14-tooth profile strikes an excellent balance for drivers looking to optimise their vehicle's acceleration and top-speed characteristics. By choosing the correct pinion gear tooth count, you directly control your RC car's gearing ratio — fewer teeth on the pinion result in lower top speed but stronger acceleration, whilst more teeth increase top speed at the cost of acceleration. At 14 teeth, this gear is ideally suited for drivers seeking a middle-ground approach or for use in the Traxxas Stampede 4X4 HD VXL, a high-performance 1/10 scale brushless electric monster truck. The 5mm shaft bore is precision-manufactured to ensure a secure fit without excessive play, which is critical for transmitting motor torque reliably to the drivetrain. The 0.8 metric pitch specification confirms this gear's integration within Traxxas's standardised component ecosystem, meaning it will mesh perfectly with compatible spur gears and transmission internals. Whether you're replacing worn gears from heavy use, experimenting with different gearing ratios for track performance, or maintaining spare components for competition driving, this genuine Traxxas pinion gear delivers the reliability and consistency that serious RC enthusiasts demand.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Traxxas models is the 14-T Pinion Gear compatible with? — This pinion gear is confirmed compatible with the Traxxas Stampede 4X4 HD VXL 1/10 4WD RTR Brushless Electric Monster Truck, available in blue (TRX90376-4-BLUE), orange (TRX90376-4-ORNG), and green (TRX90376-4-GRN) colour variants. If you own any of these ready to run RC models, this is the correct replacement or spare pinion gear.
- What is the difference between 32-pitch and 0.8 metric pitch specifications? — These are two different measurement systems describing the same gear teeth spacing. 32-pitch (32DP) is the imperial measurement, whilst 0.8 metric pitch is the metric equivalent. Both refer to the same tooth profile, ensuring complete compatibility. Traxxas uses this dual specification to support customers worldwide.
- Why would I need a spare pinion gear? — Pinion gears experience wear during normal RC car operation, particularly if you drive frequently or competitively. Having spare pinion gears on hand means you can quickly swap out worn components without waiting for replacements, keeping your RC car ready to run. Additionally, drivers often keep multiple pinion gears with different tooth counts to experiment with gearing ratios for different driving conditions or tracks.
- How do I know what pinion gear tooth count my RC car needs? — Consult your vehicle's manual or contact Traxxas customer support with your model number to confirm the correct tooth count. The Traxxas Stampede 4X4 HD VXL uses the 14-tooth configuration, making this gear suitable for that model. If you're experimenting with gearing, lower tooth counts reduce top speed but improve acceleration, whilst higher tooth counts do the opposite.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Whilst this is a genuine Traxxas component suitable for any skill level, replacing gears typically requires basic mechanical knowledge and tools. Beginners who own compatible Traxxas ready to run models can certainly use this spare, but should consult their vehicle manual or seek guidance before attempting drivetrain maintenance.
- What is the 5mm shaft bore measurement? — The 5mm specification refers to the internal diameter of the bore that slides onto your motor's drive shaft. This measurement must match your motor's shaft diameter precisely for a secure fit without wobbling or slipping.
