Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the FMS 13T pinion gear suitable for RC car beginners? — Yes, absolutely. The 13-tooth pinion is a versatile gear ratio that works well for drivers of all experience levels. Beginners will appreciate its balanced performance characteristics, whilst more experienced RC car enthusiasts can use it as a baseline for exploring different gear ratios as they develop their driving skills and preferences.
- What is a pinion gear and why do I need one? — The pinion gear is a small gear mounted on your motor shaft that meshes with the larger spur gear to transfer power from your electric motor to the wheels. It's an essential drivetrain component, and having spare pinion gears allows you to maintain your RC car and experiment with different gear ratios to optimise acceleration and top speed for your preferred driving conditions.
- Will this pinion gear fit my FMT10 Colorado? — Yes, this is a genuine OEM FMS component designed specifically for the FMT10 Colorado chassis. The FMS-C3575 pinion gear is engineered to exact specifications and will provide perfect compatibility with your vehicle's drivetrain.
- Can I use this pinion gear with other RC car models? — This pinion gear is specifically designed for the FMT10 Colorado platform. For compatibility with other RC car models, you should verify the motor shaft diameter, gear pitch, and tooth engagement specifications to ensure proper fit. We recommend consulting your vehicle's manual or contacting our expert team at RC Model Shop for guidance on compatibility.
- How often should I replace my pinion gear? — Pinion gears are durable components, but they may require replacement if they become damaged, stripped, or worn after extensive use. Regular maintenance and inspection of your drivetrain will help you identify when replacement is necessary. Having spare pinion gears on hand means you can quickly get back to running your RC car without downtime.
- What is the difference between a 13T and other tooth counts? — The tooth count on a pinion gear directly affects your RC car's performance. Fewer teeth (like 11T or 12T) provide more acceleration but lower top speed, whilst more teeth (like 14T or 15T) increase top speed but reduce acceleration. The 13-tooth configuration offers a balanced middle ground suitable for most driving conditions.
