Frequently Asked Questions
- What MOD1 RC cars is this pinion gear compatible with? — The Corally M1.0 Pinion Short Hardened Steel 11 Teeth is designed to fit all RC cars that use MOD1 (Module 1.0) gears, which includes the vast majority of modern 1/8 scale electric RC buggies, trucks, and stadium cars. This makes it a universal upgrade or replacement component for competitive and casual racers throughout the UK.
- What is the difference between this 11-tooth pinion and other tooth counts? — The 11-tooth configuration represents a mid-range gear ratio that balances acceleration and top speed. Lower tooth counts (like 10T) provide faster top speeds but slower acceleration, while higher tooth counts (like 12T or 13T) offer quicker acceleration but lower maximum speeds. Choose based on your track layout and driving style.
- Why is the hardened steel material important for RC pinions? — Hardened steel resists wear and tooth degradation much better than standard steel, especially during intense racing or aggressive bashing. This means your pinion gear will maintain its performance and precision over many races and driving sessions, making it a worthwhile investment for serious RC car owners.
- How does CNC-cut precision affect RC car performance? — CNC-cut teeth with perfect concentricity ensure that the pinion runs true and centred on your motor shaft, eliminating vibration that can damage bearings, reduce power transfer efficiency, and cause unpredictable handling. The result is smoother acceleration, better durability, and more consistent performance on the track.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — While this pinion is appropriate for RC cars at any skill level, it's primarily designed for users who understand drivetrain components and can perform basic maintenance. Beginners should ensure their RC car uses MOD1 gears and a 5.0mm motor shaft before purchasing. If you're new to RC cars and need guidance, consult with the experts at RC Model Shop.
- What motor shafts does this pinion fit? — This pinion is designed exclusively for 5.0mm diameter motor shafts, which is the standard specification on most modern brushless RC motors used in 1/8 scale vehicles. Before purchasing, verify that your RC car's motor has a 5.0mm shaft diameter.
- How do I know if my RC car uses MOD1 gears? — Most 1/8 scale electric RC vehicles manufactured in recent years use MOD1 (Module 1.0) gears. Check your RC car's manual or specification sheet, or measure your existing pinion gear. If you're unsure, the experts at RC Model Shop can help you identify your car's drivetrain specifications and recommend the correct pinion for your setup.
- Can I use this pinion with different spur gear sizes? — Yes, the pinion can be paired with various spur gear sizes to achieve different overall gear ratios. The combination of pinion teeth and spur gear teeth determines your final ratio. Experiment with different combinations to find the setup that works best for your driving style and track conditions.
