Whether you're a competitive racer fine-tuning your gear ratio or a weekend basher maintaining your RC model, this pinion gear delivers the concentricity, durability and performance you need to keep your RC car running smoothly.

Manufactured from special hardened steel and created on a dedicated gear-cutting machine, the C-71415 features CNC-cut teeth with ultra-precise shaping that ensures vibration-free operation and unparalleled concentricity. Every pinion is individually marked with its tooth count for quick and easy identification, so you'll always know exactly which gear you're installing. Available in multiple tooth counts across the entire 48DP range, this 15-tooth option allows you to find the perfect gear ratio for your specific track conditions, whether you're running on a tight technical circuit or an open fast track.

This pinion gear is compatible with all RC cars equipped with 48DP gears and features a 3.17mm motor shaft diameter, making it ideal for standard brushless and brushed RC motors. If you're looking for a replacement pinion that won't let you down, or if you're experimenting with different gear ratios to optimise your RC car's performance, the Corally 48 DP pinion range offers the precision engineering and reliability that serious RC car enthusiasts depend on.

Key Features

• Special Hardened Steel Construction — Manufactured from premium hardened steel, this pinion gear is engineered for exceptional toughness and durability, ensuring it can withstand the demands of competitive racing and regular bashing without cracking, stripping teeth or losing concentricity over time.
• CNC Cut Teeth with Perfect Concentricity — Each tooth is precision-cut on a dedicated gear-cutting machine using CNC technology, guaranteeing perfect tooth shape and concentricity, which translates to smooth meshing, reduced vibration and more efficient power transfer to the spur gear.
• Ultra-True Running for Vibration-Free Operation — The exacting manufacturing tolerances and precision of the cutting process ensure that this pinion runs with minimal runout, eliminating vibration that could otherwise compromise performance and reduce component lifespan.
• High-Performance 15-Tooth Configuration — The 15-tooth setup offers a balanced gear ratio suitable for a wide range of track conditions and driving styles, making it an excellent choice for both racers experimenting with gearing and drivers looking for a proven, reliable option.
• 48DP Module Compatibility — This pinion is designed specifically for the popular 48 Diametral Pitch standard, ensuring compatibility with all RC cars and spur gears that use 48DP gearing, giving you flexibility in building or upgrading your setup.
• 3.17mm Motor Shaft Diameter — The 3.17mm (1/8-inch) shaft diameter is the industry-standard size for most brushless and brushed RC motors, making this pinion universally compatible with the vast majority of RC cars UK enthusiasts use.
• Individual Tooth Count Marking — Each pinion is clearly marked with the tooth number, allowing for instant identification and eliminating any confusion when you're switching between different gear ratios or maintaining multiple RC cars.
• Made in Europe — Manufactured to the highest standards by Team Corally in Europe, this component represents quality engineering and reliability that serious RC hobbyists expect from established European RC brands.

Technical Performance

The Corally 48 DP Pinion delivers exceptional technical performance through its precision engineering and premium materials. Constructed from special hardened steel, this pinion gear is specifically designed to withstand the high rotational speeds and torque loads common in RC car racing and recreational driving. The CNC-cut teeth ensure perfect tooth profile geometry and concentricity, which is absolutely critical for smooth meshing with your spur gear, efficient power transmission and extended component lifespan. The 15-tooth configuration on a 48DP module provides a gear ratio that works exceptionally well across a broad range of track conditions and driving styles. With a 3.17mm shaft diameter fitting standard brushless and brushed RC motors, this pinion integrates seamlessly into most RC car UK setups without requiring adapters or modifications. The ultra-precise manufacturing tolerances mean this gear runs true with minimal radial runout, eliminating the vibration and noise that can develop with lower-quality pinions. At just 9mm in length and 4mm tooth width, the C-71415 maintains the compact short pinion design that Team Corally is known for, reducing rotating mass whilst maintaining structural integrity. The 1.5mm hex key size for installation ensures secure fitting and easy removal for maintenance or gear ratio changes. Whether you're running a competitive race car that demands the highest performance or a bashing RC model that needs robust durability, this hardened steel pinion will deliver reliable, efficient power transfer race after race.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this pinion gear compatible with my RC car? — The C-71415 is compatible with any RC car that uses 48DP gearing and has a motor with a 3.17mm (1/8-inch) shaft diameter. If you're unsure whether your model uses 48DP gears, consult your vehicle's manual or contact us at RC Model Shop — our experienced team can confirm compatibility and recommend the right pinion for your setup.
• What is a gear ratio and how does the 15-tooth pinion affect performance? — The gear ratio is the mathematical relationship between your pinion (motor gear) and spur gear (main gear). A 15-tooth pinion paired with a larger spur gear creates a lower numerical ratio, which typically results in quicker acceleration and lower top speed, making it ideal for tight technical tracks. Higher tooth counts deliver higher top speed at the cost of acceleration. The 15-tooth option is a proven, balanced choice for most RC cars and track conditions.
• Why is concentricity so important in a pinion gear? — Concentricity refers to how perfectly centred the gear teeth are around the shaft. Pinions with poor concentricity will wobble and vibrate as they rotate, causing uneven tooth meshing, increased wear, noise and loss of efficiency. The CNC-cut precision of the C-71415 ensures exceptional concentricity, which means smooth, quiet, efficient operation and longer component life.
• How often will I need to replace this pinion gear? — With proper maintenance and the hardened steel construction of the C-71415, this pinion should provide extended service life. Replacement is typically needed if teeth become stripped, the gear develops excessive runout or wobbling, or if you're experimenting with different gear ratios. Regular cleaning and lubrication of your gearbox will maximise pinion lifespan.
• Can I use this pinion with different spur gear sizes? — Yes, the C-71415 can be paired with various spur gear sizes to achieve different overall gear ratios. For example, a 15-tooth pinion with a 60-tooth spur creates a 4:1 ratio, whilst a 15-tooth with a 70-tooth spur creates a 4.67:1 ratio. Experimenting with different spur sizes whilst keeping the pinion constant is an excellent way to fine-tune your RC car's performance for specific track conditions.
• What makes Team Corally pinions different from budget alternatives? — Team Corally pinions are manufactured in Europe using CNC machines and premium hardened steel, ensuring exacting tolerances, perfect tooth geometry and exceptional concentricity. Budget alternatives often use lower-grade materials and less precise manufacturing, resulting in vibration, noise, runout and premature tooth wear. The investment in a quality pinion like the C-71415 pays dividends in performance, reliability and component longevity.
• Is this a direct replacement for other pinion gears? — The C-71415 is compatible with any 48DP pinion application using a 3.17mm motor shaft. However, always verify that your current setup uses 48DP gearing before purchasing. If you're upgrading from a lower-quality pinion, you may notice immediate improvements in smoothness, efficiency and overall RC car performance.
