Precision 3RACING 64 Pitch Pinion for Tuners

The 3RACING 64 Pitch Pinion Gear 54T is engineered for competitive hobbyists who prioritise consistent drivetrain geometry. Machined from 7075 aluminium, the component balances stiffness and low mass, while the hard coating increases surface wear resistance under cyclical loads.

Material Selection and Finish

7075 aluminium provides a high yield strength useful for resisting tooth deformation at elevated torque. The applied hard coating reduces abrasive wear on gear flanks and helps preserve optimal tooth profile during extended runs.

Tuning Considerations

As a 64 pitch component with 54 teeth, this pinion enables smaller incremental changes to overall gear ratio, allowing precise tuning for acceleration curves and top speed. When paired with matched 64 pitch spurs, it supports repeatable setup adjustments for race day consistency.

Service and Installation Guidance

Install as a direct replacement only where shaft diameter and bore align. Set mesh to a light, even clearance and verify after a short running session. Inspect tooth edges and bore fit regularly, especially after high load events.

Aim for a minimal backlash that allows free rotation at ambient temperature. Use feeler shims or paper to set a uniform contact across the tooth face, then secure the pinion and recheck after run-in.
The coating improves surface hardness and wear resistance but does not significantly alter core shear strength; torque capacity remains governed by material geometry and bore fit.
Check bore runout on a jig or motor shaft before final installation. Any wobble can accelerate wear and should be corrected by selecting a suitable hub or replacing the pinion.
