Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this pinion gear compatible with my Losi 6IX RC car? — Yes, this is a genuine OEM Losi component specifically designed for 6IX models. The 18-tooth MOD 1.5 specification matches the standard drivetrain configuration for this vehicle platform, ensuring perfect compatibility without modification.
- What is the MOD 1.5 specification and why does it matter? — MOD 1.5 refers to the module or pitch of the gear teeth. This specification is critical because it determines how the pinion meshes with your spur gear. Using the correct module ensures smooth engagement, minimal noise, and efficient power transmission. Mismatched modules will result in poor meshing and accelerated wear on both gears.
- Why would I need to replace my pinion gear? — Pinion gears experience wear during normal RC car operation, particularly the teeth that engage with the spur gear. After extended use, tooth edges may become rounded or damaged, causing slipping, noise, or loss of efficiency. Keeping replacement gears on hand ensures you can maintain peak performance and avoid extended downtime waiting for repairs.
- How often should I replace my pinion gear? — This depends on your driving style, terrain, and maintenance habits. Competitive drivers or those running on abrasive surfaces may replace gears more frequently than casual hobbyists. Regular inspection after each driving session helps identify wear early, allowing you to replace components before catastrophic failure.
- Does this gear work with aftermarket motor setups? — The LOS Pinion Gear is designed for standard Losi 6IX motor installations. If you've upgraded to an aftermarket brushless motor system, verify that it uses the standard MOD 1.5 pitch and fits the 6IX shaft before purchasing. Some performance motor kits require different gear specifications.
- What tools do I need to install this pinion gear? — Installation requires basic RC maintenance tools including a hex driver or Allen key set appropriate for Losi 6IX motor shafts. Detailed installation instructions come with your vehicle manual. If you're unfamiliar with drivetrain maintenance, our team at RC Model Shop can provide guidance or installation assistance.
