16T and 17T Motor Pinions 0.6 Pitch

Tamiya 16T & 17T Motor Pinions 0.6 Pitch – Fine-Tune Your Gearing
These Tamiya motor pinions in 0.6 pitch make it easy to adjust the gear ratio on your radio-controlled car. The set includes both 16T and 17T pinions, allowing you to choose between better acceleration or higher top speed depending on track and driving style. Perfect for the Tamiya TT-02 and other models with 0.6 pitch gears.

Larger vs. smaller pinions – acceleration and top speed
The choice between 16T and 17T has a direct impact on how your car behaves:

• Smaller motor pinion (e.g. 16T):
• Provides lower top speed
• Gives faster and stronger acceleration
• Puts less strain on motor and electronics and is often safer in hot conditions or under heavy load

• Larger motor pinion (e.g. 17T):

• Provides higher top speed
• Gives slower acceleration
• Increases the load on motor and ESC, which can generate more heat – often requires good cooling and sensible gearing relative to track and driving style

By switching between 16T and 17T you can adapt the car to the track: choose a smaller pinion for technical tracks with many corners and stop/start sections, and a larger pinion for long straights where top speed is important. This way you get the most out of your Tamiya TT-02 or other 0.6 pitch cars.
