Technical Performance
The FMS APSC22037 pinion gear represents precision engineering in compact form, delivering the consistent performance required in modern 1:10 scale RC racing and recreational driving. As a critical drivetrain component, this pinion gear must withstand continuous torque loads from your brushless motor whilst maintaining precise tooth engagement with the spur gear assembly. FMS has engineered this component to exacting tolerances, ensuring reliable power delivery across varying driving conditions and terrain types. The gear teeth are precision-cut to maintain optimal mesh characteristics, reducing wear on both the pinion and spur gear, extending overall drivetrain lifespan and maximising reliability during competitive racing or weekend bashing sessions. For UK RC car enthusiasts running brushless powertrains, this pinion gear provides the engineering quality necessary to support high-performance driving without compromise. The component integrates seamlessly into the F100's existing transmission system, maintaining factory specifications whilst offering the durability expected from quality OEM replacement parts.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a pinion gear and why do I need one for my RC car? — A pinion gear is a small precision-cut gear that mounts directly onto your brushless motor's output shaft. It engages with the larger spur gear inside your transmission, transferring motor power to drive your RC car's wheels. If your existing pinion gear becomes worn, stripped, or damaged, replacement is essential to maintain reliable vehicle performance. Additionally, changing to a different-tooth pinion gear allows you to alter your vehicle's gearing ratio, adjusting acceleration versus top speed characteristics to suit specific driving conditions and racing requirements.
- Is this compatible with my FMS 1:10 F100? — Yes, the APSC22037 is engineered specifically for the FMS 1:10 Ford F-100 platform and provides OEM-level compatibility. This ensures proper fit, function and performance without requiring modification or adaptation during installation.
- How do I know if my pinion gear needs replacement? — Signs of pinion gear wear include stripped or damaged teeth, grinding noises during acceleration, loss of power delivery efficiency, or visible damage to the gear teeth when inspected under magnification. If you experience any of these symptoms, replacement with a quality OEM part like the APSC22037 is recommended to restore reliable performance.
- Can I use this pinion gear to adjust my vehicle's performance? — Yes, pinion gears are available in different tooth counts. By selecting a pinion with more teeth, you increase acceleration but reduce top speed (lower gearing ratio). Conversely, a pinion with fewer teeth reduces acceleration but increases top speed (higher gearing ratio). The APSC22037 is designed to match your F100's factory specifications, but understanding gearing ratios allows RC enthusiasts to fine-tune their vehicles for specific racing conditions, terrain types, and driving preferences.
- What tools do I need to install this pinion gear? — Installation typically requires basic RC tools including a pinion gear puller or alternatively a small puller tool, an Allen key or hex driver to access your motor, and potentially bearing pullers depending on your specific motor design. Your FMS F100 manual or assembly guide will provide detailed installation instructions specific to your vehicle configuration.

We want to make sure your delivery goes smoothly, so here are some important details about our service:
- For orders above £120, we offer delivery to most mainland UK addresses. For orders under £120, we can still deliver to Northern Ireland and the outlying isles, as long as the item can be sent by Royal Mail, weighs less than 30kg, and fits within 61cm × 46cm × 46cm. Some highland and remote areas may carry an extra delivery charge as couriers often apply surcharges in these locations. If you live in one of these areas, feel free to contact us before ordering so we can confirm the delivery options and costs for you.
