Key Features
- Steel Construction — The gear is manufactured from premium steel rather than plastic or lower-grade materials, providing exceptional durability and resistance to wear even under demanding driving conditions. Steel gears maintain their tooth profile longer than softer materials, ensuring consistent power delivery and smoother drivetrain operation over extended use periods.
- 32DP Specification — The 32 diametral pitch standard is one of the most common configurations in RC hobbyist vehicles, ensuring broad compatibility across numerous popular models and platforms. This widespread standardisation means you'll have confidence that this gear will fit your specific RC vehicle without confusion or compatibility concerns.
- 19-Tooth Configuration — The 19-tooth count is a popular middle-ground option that provides a balanced compromise between acceleration and top speed characteristics. This tooth count is particularly well-suited for general-purpose driving, making it an ideal choice for hobbyists who enjoy a mix of crawling, bashing, and speed runs.
- 5mm Motor Shaft Bore — The 5mm diameter bore is engineered to fit standard motor shafts found on the vast majority of RC motors in the hobbyist market. This standardised size means minimal hassle when installing the gear, with a secure fit that minimises wobbling and ensures efficient power transmission from motor to drivetrain.
- Precision Engineering — Fastrax components are manufactured to exacting tolerances, ensuring that each gear meshes perfectly with mating components in your drivetrain. Precise engineering translates directly to reduced noise, smoother operation, and more consistent performance across all driving conditions and surfaces.
- Affordable Upgrade Option — At an excellent price point, this steel pinion gear represents outstanding value for money compared to replacement gears from other premium brands. Whether you're replacing a worn component or upgrading from plastic alternatives, this gear delivers impressive quality without breaking the bank.
Technical Performance
The Fastrax 32DP 19T Steel Pinion Gear represents modern engineering excellence in RC drivetrain components. Steel construction provides measurably superior wear resistance compared to plastic alternatives, making it the ideal choice for drivers who log significant running hours with their models or who regularly push their vehicles through challenging terrain. The 32 diametral pitch specification is engineered to mesh seamlessly with compatible spur gears, offering smooth engagement and efficient power transmission that minimises drivetrain losses. The 19-tooth configuration strikes an excellent balance in the RC car UK market, delivering acceleration characteristics suitable for both technical crawling and more aggressive bashing styles. The precisely machined 5mm bore ensures a secure fit on standard motor shafts, eliminating the play that can develop with worn plastic gears and delivering the responsive handling and consistent performance that serious hobbyists demand. This gear excels in brushless RC vehicles, nitro-powered models, and electric systems alike, making it a versatile solution for upgrading or maintaining virtually any compatible platform. The high-quality steel material resists the tooth stripping and profile degradation that can plague lower-quality alternatives, ensuring that your investment continues to perform reliably for months or years of enjoyable RC driving.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What vehicles is the Fastrax 32DP 19T Steel Pinion Gear compatible with? — This gear features the industry-standard 32DP specification and 5mm motor shaft bore, making it compatible with a wide range of RC vehicles including Traxxas models, Axial crawlers, Losi buggies, and many other popular platforms. Always verify your vehicle's drivetrain specifications before purchasing to ensure compatibility with your specific RC model and motor configuration.
- Why choose steel over plastic pinion gears? — Steel pinion gears offer significantly superior durability and wear resistance compared to plastic alternatives. Steel gears maintain their precise tooth profile through extended use, reducing noise, improving power transmission efficiency, and lasting considerably longer before requiring replacement. For serious RC hobbyists who value reliability and long-term performance, the steel option represents a worthwhile investment.
- Is this a direct replacement for my existing pinion gear? — The 32DP 19T configuration is among the most common pinion gear specifications in the RC market, making it a direct replacement option for countless vehicles. However, it's essential to verify that your vehicle uses a 32DP gear and that your motor shaft is indeed 5mm in diameter before ordering to ensure perfect compatibility.
- What is the difference between 19T and other tooth count options? — Pinion gear tooth count directly affects your vehicle's acceleration and top speed characteristics. A 19-tooth gear represents a middle-ground option that provides balanced acceleration with reasonable top speed potential. Lower tooth counts (such as 17T) emphasise acceleration and climbing ability, whilst higher tooth counts (such as 21T) favour top-end speed. Choose based on your primary driving style and terrain preferences.
- Do I need any tools to install this pinion gear? — Installation is straightforward and typically requires only basic tools such as an appropriate hex wrench or socket to remove the motor retaining hardware and access the existing pinion gear. Most RC hobbyists can complete the swap in just a few minutes with standard workshop tools.
