Overview
The Losi 13T Pinion Gear for the Mini LMT centre transmission is an essential replacement part for RC enthusiasts who want to maintain peak performance from their Mini LMT rock crawler.

Pinion gears are critical components in any RC transmission system, responsible for transferring power from the motor to the main driveshaft with minimal loss. The 13-tooth configuration of this gear makes it a popular choice for drivers seeking a specific gear ratio balance. Over time, through regular use and demanding terrain, pinion gears can wear, strip teeth, or become damaged, which is why keeping genuine Losi replacement parts in your spares box is essential for maintaining reliability.

This 13T Pinion Gear (model Z-LOS212045) is built to the exact specifications required by the Mini LMT platform, ensuring perfect compatibility and dependable performance every time you take your rig out.

Technical Performance
The Losi 13T Pinion Gear is manufactured with precision engineering to ensure consistent mesh with your Mini LMT's spur gear system. As a transmission component, this gear plays a vital role in the power delivery chain, transferring rotational force from your motor directly to the driveshaft. The 13-tooth configuration creates a specific gear ratio that is optimised for the Mini LMT's intended use, whether that's technical rock crawling, scrambling over obstacles, or exploring challenging terrain. Quality materials and tight tolerances ensure that tooth engagement remains consistent throughout the life of the gear, reducing noise and vibration whilst maintaining smooth operation. Regular inspection of your pinion gear is recommended as part of routine maintenance, and replacement should be undertaken immediately if any teeth show signs of stripping or damage to maintain optimal vehicle performance and prevent damage to other transmission components.
