The 64 DP (Diametral Pitch) specification means this gear is compatible with all RC cars equipped with 64DP gearing systems, making it a versatile choice for owners of compatible vehicles. The 3.17mm motor shaft diameter ensures perfect compatibility with standard brushless and brushed motors across a wide range of RC car models. This is the kind of component that separates a well-tuned, responsive RC car from one that feels sluggish or unpredictable.

Key Features

• Special Hardened Steel Construction — The pinion gear is manufactured from special hardened steel, which provides exceptional durability and resistance to wear even under the demands of competitive racing or aggressive bashing. This material choice ensures that your gear will maintain its precision and performance over many hours of use, saving you money on replacements and keeping your RC car reliable.
• CNC Cut Teeth for Perfect Concentricity — Each tooth is cut using CNC machinery with ultra-precise tolerances, ensuring that the gear runs true and maintains perfect concentricity. This precision engineering eliminates wobbling, reduces vibration, and delivers smooth, quiet operation—critical for both high-speed runs and technical courses where every ounce of traction matters.
• 64 DP Module Standard — The 64 DP specification is a recognised standard in RC car racing and hobby driving, ensuring compatibility with the vast majority of modern RC car gearing systems available in the UK. This means you can confidently upgrade your existing setup knowing the pinion will mate perfectly with your spur gear.
• 46-Tooth Configuration — The 46T tooth count provides a balanced gear ratio suitable for a variety of track layouts and driving conditions. Whether you're tackling tighter technical courses or more open racing lines, this tooth count offers flexibility in achieving your desired top speed and acceleration characteristics.
• 3.17mm Motor Shaft Diameter — This shaft size is the industry standard for most modern brushless and brushed RC motors, ensuring universal compatibility with your existing motor. The precision fit means secure seating on the motor shaft without slipping, maintaining constant power transmission throughout your race or bash session.
• Ultra-True Running Design — The gear has been engineered for vibration-free operation, which not only delivers a smoother driving experience but also reduces wear on surrounding components and transmission parts. This translates to longer component life and more consistent performance lap after lap.
• Easy Identification Marking — Each pinion is clearly marked with its tooth number (46T), making identification quick and simple. This is invaluable when you're storing multiple gears or swapping between different setups, preventing confusion and ensuring you always use the correct gear for your current configuration.
• Compact Short Design — The short profile of this pinion reduces overall transmission length, which can improve weight distribution and handling characteristics in some RC car setups. This compact design also makes installation straightforward and leaves more space for other transmission components.
• Made in Europe — Manufactured to exacting European quality standards, this pinion gear represents the kind of precision engineering that serious RC enthusiasts have come to expect from Team Corally, a brand trusted across Europe and now widely available throughout the UK RC market.

Technical Performance

This Corally pinion gear represents the pinnacle of RC transmission component engineering. The special hardened steel material has been selected specifically for its ability to withstand the intense stresses of high-performance RC car driving without deformation or premature wear. The CNC cutting process ensures that every tooth is shaped identically, with perfect tooth profile geometry that matches industry standards precisely. This consistency is what allows the gear to achieve smooth engagement with the spur gear, eliminating the grinding, whining, or rattling sounds that often indicate a poorly manufactured pinion. The ultra-precise tolerances mean that the gear will run true and maintain perfect concentricity, which is critical for vibration-free operation. At 9mm overall length with a 4mm teeth width, this is a compact yet robust component designed to handle the demands of modern RC car racing and hobby use. The 1.5mm hex key size for installation means you'll need only standard tools to install and adjust this gear, making maintenance and setup changes straightforward. Whether you're upgrading from a worn-out OEM pinion or fine-tuning your gear ratio for a different track layout, this Corally component delivers the performance and reliability that UK RC enthusiasts have come to expect from quality transmission parts.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What motor shaft diameter does this pinion require? — The Corally C-71346 pinion is designed specifically for 3.17mm motor shafts, which is the industry standard size for most modern brushless and brushed RC motors used in UK RC car racing and hobby applications. This universal size ensures compatibility with the vast majority of available motors.
• What is a 64 DP pinion gear and why does it matter? — 64 DP (Diametral Pitch) refers to the gear's tooth profile standard, which determines its compatibility with other components in your transmission. This is the standard specification used across hundreds of RC car models, meaning your Corally pinion will work with any 64DP spur gear from any compatible vehicle. The pitch directly affects your gear ratio and therefore your vehicle's acceleration and top speed characteristics.
• How do I know if this 46-tooth pinion is right for my RC car? — The tooth count determines your overall gear ratio when paired with your spur gear. A 46-tooth pinion combined with different spur gear sizes allows you to fine-tune acceleration and top speed for your specific track. If you're unsure, consult your RC car's manual or ask the team at RC Model Shop—they can help you select the perfect ratio for your driving style and track layout.
• Why is hardened steel better than aluminium for pinion gears? — While aluminium might be lighter, hardened steel offers superior durability and wear resistance, which is why it's preferred by serious RC racers and competitive drivers. Steel pinions maintain their tooth profile longer under the intense stresses of high-performance driving, meaning less frequent replacements and more consistent performance over time.
• How often will I need to replace this pinion gear? — With proper maintenance and the special hardened steel construction, this Corally pinion will provide thousands of hours of reliable service. Replacement intervals depend on your driving intensity and track conditions, but the superior materials and precision manufacturing mean you'll get exceptional longevity compared to budget-brand alternatives.
• Is this pinion gear suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. While this is a premium-quality component that benefits competitive racers, it's equally suitable for beginners and casual drivers. The precision engineering means smooth, quiet operation that makes learning to drive an RC car more enjoyable, and the durability means it will last through years of use as your skills develop.
• What tools do I need to install this pinion? — Installation requires only a 1.5mm hex key (Allen wrench), which is a standard tool included with most RC car maintenance kits. The straightforward design means installation takes just a few minutes, and you can easily swap between different tooth counts to experiment with gear ratios.
