12T Motor Pinion (3.175/ 0.6M)

12T 0.6 Pitch pinion gear – precise gearing for Blackzon Smyter Turbo
This 12T motor pinion gear is designed for 0.6 Pitch and a 3.175 mm motor shaft, ensuring correct mesh between motor and spur gear. It provides stable operation, reduced wear, and reliable power transfer on your Blackzon Smyter Turbo and other models with 0.6 Pitch gearing.

Features and benefits

• 12T motor pinion gear for fine-tuning your gearing
• 0.6 Pitch for correct fit on many 1/10 models
• 3.175 mm (1/8\") bore for standard motor shaft
• Fits: Blackzon Smyter Turbo and other cars with 0.6 Pitch gears

Specifications

• Number of teeth: 12T
• Pitch: 0.6
• Motor shaft diameter: 3.175 mm

Larger vs. smaller pinion – acceleration and top speed
Your choice of pinion gear has a major impact on how your RC car performs:

• If you switch to a LARGER motor pinion (more teeth than 12T):
• Higher top speed
• Lower acceleration (slower off the line)
• Higher load and heat on motor and ESC

• If you switch to a SMALLER motor pinion (fewer teeth than 12T):

• Better acceleration and more torque uphill
• Lower top speed
• Less load and typically lower motor temperature

A 12T pinion is a good starting point, from which you can fine-tune up or down depending on whether you prioritize top speed or acceleration. Always keep an eye on motor temperature when changing gearing.
