Overview
The Corally Pinion Caddy 32DP with 11 Pinions and 3.17mm bore is an essential pit gadget for serious RC car enthusiasts and competitive racers across the UK. This precision-engineered storage and organisation solution is designed specifically for 32DP pinion gears, making it the perfect addition to any RC modeller's toolkit. Whether you're preparing for race day, tuning your RC buggy or truck for maximum performance, or simply keeping your spare pinions organised in your pit bag, this caddy delivers professional-grade functionality that distinguishes it from basic storage solutions.
Pinion gears are critical drivetrain components that directly influence acceleration, top speed, and overall vehicle performance in RC racing. Having a comprehensive selection of different pinion tooth counts readily available allows drivers to quickly adapt their RC car UK setup to varying track conditions, whether you're racing on carpet, tarmac, or dirt surfaces. The Corally Pinion Caddy 32DP eliminates the frustration of searching through loose gears or damaged pinions during crucial pit stops, ensuring your RC model stays race-ready at all times.
Built to the standards that Corally is recognised for worldwide, this pinion caddy combines durable construction with a practical design that speaks to the needs of dedicated RC hobbyists. From weekend bashers to competitive racers, anyone who operates brushless RC cars or electric RC vehicles will benefit from having their pinion selection organised, protected, and immediately accessible when setup changes are needed.
Key Features
- 11 Precision Pinion Gears — This caddy comes pre-populated with 11 different 32DP pinion gears, giving you a comprehensive range of gear ratio options to fine-tune your RC car's performance across different track layouts and driving conditions.
- 32DP Specification — The 32DP (32 diametral pitch) specification is a standard that ensures perfect meshing compatibility with 32DP spur gears commonly found in modern RC buggies, trucks, and racing vehicles, making this caddy universally useful across multiple models.
- 3.17mm Bore Diameter — The 3.17mm (1/8 inch) shaft bore is the most common motor shaft size in contemporary RC cars, ensuring that every pinion in this caddy will fit your brushless or brushed motor without modification or adapters.
- Professional Storage Solution — Unlike loose gears rattling around in a toolbox, the caddy's organised compartments keep each pinion secure, protected from damage, and instantly identifiable by tooth count for rapid setup adjustments during races.
- Corally Quality Construction — Manufactured by Corally, a brand recognised for precision RC components, this caddy is built from durable materials designed to withstand the demands of competitive and casual RC racing environments.
- Pit Gadget Essential — This is a recognised pit gadget category item, meaning it's specifically engineered as a practical tool for RC car preparation, maintenance, and tuning rather than a vehicle component itself.
- Gear Ratio Flexibility — By having 11 different pinion options immediately available, you can experiment with various gear ratios to find the optimal setup for acceleration, top speed, or torque characteristics depending on your track and driving style.
Technical Performance
The Corally Pinion Caddy 32DP represents a significant quality-of-life upgrade for any serious RC car enthusiast. Pinion gears are the interface between your brushless motor and the main spur gear on your vehicle's drivetrain, and the gear ratio directly determines how your RC model accelerates and reaches top speed. A lower tooth count pinion delivers higher top speed but requires more motor torque, whilst a higher tooth count pinion provides better acceleration and torque characteristics but sacrifices maximum speed. Having 11 different options in 32DP specification means you can optimise your RC buggy or truck for any race configuration without needing to source individual pinions from multiple retailers. The 3.17mm bore diameter is engineered to precise tolerances, ensuring a perfect fit on standard RC motor shafts with no wobble, run-out, or slippage during operation. The caddy's compartmentalised design keeps each gear organised, prevents cross-contamination of tooth patterns, and protects against the microscopic damage that can occur when pinions are stored loosely. For competitive RC racing in the UK, this level of organisation and accessibility can directly impact your performance by allowing rapid setup changes between qualifying rounds and finals, or between different track conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a pinion gear and why do I need different sizes? — A pinion gear is the small gear that connects your RC car's motor to the main drivetrain spur gear. Different pinion tooth counts create different gear ratios; lower tooth counts give you higher top speed with less torque, whilst higher tooth counts provide better acceleration and hill-climbing ability. Having multiple options in this caddy lets you tune your RC model for different tracks and driving styles without buying separate pinions.
- Is this suitable for beginners to RC car racing? — Whilst beginners certainly benefit from this caddy, it's particularly valuable for racers who are actively tuning and competing. However, if you're serious about learning RC car setup and performance optimisation, this is an excellent investment that will last years and help you understand how gear ratios affect vehicle handling.
- Will these pinions fit my RC car? — These are 32DP pinions with a 3.17mm bore, which is the standard specification for the vast majority of modern brushless RC cars, buggies, and trucks used for racing in the UK. You should verify that your vehicle uses 32DP gearing (not M1.0, M0.6, 48DP, or 64DP), but if you're running a contemporary brushless electric RC model, these will almost certainly be compatible.
- What is the difference between this caddy and other Corally pinion storage options? — Corally manufactures several pinion caddies in different specifications. This 32DP model with 11 pinions is distinct from their M1.0 range (available in 13 or 9 pinion configurations) and their M0.6 range (available in 15 or 11 pinion configurations). The 32DP specification is the most commonly used in modern RC racing vehicles, making this caddy the most universally compatible option for most RC enthusiasts in the UK.
- How do I know which pinion tooth count to use? — This depends on your track layout, desired top speed, and available motor torque. Generally, racing on smaller, tighter tracks benefits from higher tooth count pinions (more torque), whilst larger, faster tracks benefit from lower tooth count pinions (more speed). The comprehensive range in this caddy allows you to experiment and find your optimal setup.
- Is this caddy only for racing, or can weekend bashers use it? — Whilst this is marketed as a pit gadget for racers, any RC enthusiast who wants to keep multiple pinions organised and protected will benefit from this caddy, whether you're a competitive racer or a casual weekend basher.
