Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a pinion gear and why do I need to replace it? — A pinion gear is the small gear attached to your RC car's motor shaft that meshes with the main spur gear to transfer power to the drivetrain. Over time, pinions can wear out, strip teeth, or become damaged through normal use or crashes. Replacing your pinion with a quality component like the Fastrax 'Pro' ensures smooth power delivery and protects your other drivetrain components from damage.

However, compatibility also depends on your specific motor and pinion shaft size, so it's recommended to check your vehicle's manual or contact our expert team at RC Model Shop to confirm compatibility with your exact model.
- How do I install the Fastrax 'Pro' Pinion? — Installation requires removal of your motor from the vehicle, sliding off the old pinion gear, and sliding the new Fastrax pinion onto the motor's output shaft. Most installations require only basic tools and take just a few minutes. For detailed instructions specific to your RC car model, please refer to your vehicle's manual or contact our experienced team at RC Model Shop for guidance.

Different tooth counts (usually ranging from 14T to 35T) affect your RC car's acceleration and top speed characteristics. A 30T pinion represents a middle-ground option suitable for balanced performance across most driving styles. Our experienced RC Model Shop team can help you determine the optimal pinion size for your specific driving preferences and terrain conditions.
