Key Features
- Special Hardened Steel Construction — Manufactured from high-quality hardened steel that offers superior toughness and durability compared to standard pinion materials, ensuring this gear can withstand the extreme forces of high-performance RC driving without chipping, stripping or premature wear.
- CNC-Cut Teeth with Perfect Concentricity — Every tooth is precision-cut using advanced CNC machinery to guarantee perfect tooth geometry and ultra-true running, which eliminates vibration and noise while delivering smooth, efficient power transfer from your motor to your drivetrain.
- Ultra-Precise Tooth Shaping — The advanced manufacturing process creates teeth with exceptional accuracy and consistency, ensuring that every tooth engages perfectly with your spur gear for reliable performance lap after lap.
- European Manufacture — Built to strict quality standards in Europe, this pinion represents Team Corally's commitment to precision manufacturing and rigorous quality control that you can trust.
- Easy Identification Marking — Each pinion is clearly marked with its tooth count for quick and simple identification, making it easy to keep track of your gearing options and swap ratios during setup adjustments or maintenance.
- Universal 64DP Compatibility — Designed to work with all RC cars that use 64DP gearing systems, this pinion offers you flexibility to use it across multiple vehicles in your collection.
- Optimised for 3.17mm Motor Shafts — The precisely machined 3.17mm bore diameter provides a secure, vibration-free fit on standard motor shafts, ensuring reliable engagement and preventing slippage during intense driving.
- Mid-Range 44-Tooth Configuration — The 44-tooth count strikes an excellent balance between acceleration and top speed, making this pinion suitable for mixed-terrain driving, balanced race setups and general-purpose RC car operation.
Technical Performance
The Corally 64 DP Pinion Short Hardened Steel 44 Teeth represents the pinnacle of pinion gear engineering for the dedicated RC car enthusiast. Built from special hardened steel, this component is engineered to deliver exceptional performance and longevity in demanding driving conditions. The material selection ensures superior resistance to wear, deformation and tooth damage, making it an ideal choice for high-speed racing, competitive events and intensive bashing sessions. The 64DP (Diametral Pitch) standard is widely recognised across the RC hobby and ensures full compatibility with matching spur gears from Corally and other manufacturers who follow industry-standard gearing specifications. The 44-tooth count places this pinion in the versatile mid-range, offering drivers a balanced approach to gearing that works well across varied track conditions and driving styles. With a shaft diameter of exactly 3.17mm, this pinion is engineered to fit securely onto standard motor shafts without play or wobble, critical factors that directly influence acceleration smoothness and overall driveline efficiency. The gear features a 4mm teeth width and a total length of 9mm, dimensioned to fit neatly within standard RC car motor pods and gearboxes. The 1.5mm hex key size is specified for secure mounting, and the CNC manufacturing process ensures that every pinion meets identical specifications, eliminating the inconsistencies sometimes found in lower-quality alternatives. Whether you're running a 1/10 scale RC buggy, stadium truck, or touring car, this pinion will integrate seamlessly into your drivetrain. The hardened steel material and precision manufacturing combine to deliver vibration-free, quiet operation that allows you to focus on driving rather than mechanical noise or drivetrain harshness. For competitive racers optimising lap times on tight technical circuits, this precision engineering translates to responsive handling and predictable acceleration. For weekend bashers pushing their RC cars to the limit on outdoor terrain, the durability of hardened steel means fewer replacement cycles and more time on the track doing what you love.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this pinion gear suitable for my RC car? — The Corally 64 DP Pinion is compatible with all RC cars that use 64DP gearing systems and accept 3.17mm motor shafts. If your vehicle uses 64DP gears and has a standard-size motor, this pinion will fit. Check your vehicle's specifications or consult our expert team at RC Model Shop if you're unsure about compatibility.
- What is the difference between a 44-tooth and other tooth counts? — Tooth count directly affects your vehicle's acceleration and top speed. Fewer teeth (like 41T or 42T) provide faster acceleration but lower top speed, whilst more teeth (like 46T or 48T) provide higher top speed but reduced acceleration. The 44-tooth configuration offers a balanced middle ground, making it an excellent all-round choice for mixed driving styles and varied track conditions.
- Will this pinion work with my current spur gear? — Yes, as long as your spur gear is also 64DP specification, this pinion will mesh perfectly. The DP (Diametral Pitch) must match between pinion and spur gear for proper engagement. Do not mix 64DP pinions with gears of different pitch specifications, as this will cause poor meshing, noise and premature wear.
- How do I identify which pinion I need? — Look for two key specifications on your vehicle or in its documentation: first, the gear pitch (in this case 64DP) and second, the motor shaft diameter (in this case 3.17mm). The tooth count should be clearly marked on the pinion itself. Each Corally pinion carries the tooth number marking for instant identification.
- What maintenance does this pinion require? — Pinion gears require minimal maintenance beyond periodic cleaning and occasional lubrication. After dusty or wet driving, clean the pinion with a soft brush or dry cloth. Inspect regularly for any signs of wear or damage. The hardened steel construction resists wear far better than standard materials, extending the service life significantly.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. Whilst pinion gear selection is often associated with competitive racing and fine-tuning, the Corally 64 DP Pinion is suitable for RC enthusiasts of all skill levels. Beginners benefit from the quality and reliability of European-manufactured components, which reduce mechanical issues and allow you to focus on developing your driving skills. The 44-tooth configuration is an excellent all-round choice for drivers still learning optimal gearing strategies.
- How often will I need to replace this pinion? — The hardened steel construction and precision manufacturing mean this pinion will deliver reliable performance through extensive use. In recreational driving, a pinion typically lasts hundreds of hours. Competitive racers who change ratios frequently or race intensively may replace pinions more often as part of their maintenance routine. Inspect periodically for wear, but with proper care and lubrication, this pinion will provide extended service life.
