Precision 13T Steel Motor Pinion for Wraith

The WR9013TS is a precision hardened 13-tooth steel motor pinion supplied as one piece and intended for Axial Wraith platforms. It is produced to provide consistent tooth form and reliable replacement fit for motor-to-spur gearing adjustments.

Application note: use this pinion to replace a fatigued 13T gear or to lower gearing for improved low-speed torque. The part is compatible with common spur gear choices and does not require drivetrain modifications beyond standard mesh adjustment.

Installation guidance: verify the pinion seats square on the motor shaft and that the grub screw secures into the shaft material. Set mesh to a minimal, even clearance to ensure uniform tooth contact and reduce accelerated wear. After initial installation run at low throttle and recheck mesh and torque on fasteners.

Service and tuning: changing tooth count by one or two teeth affects final drive ratio and vehicle behaviour; select the appropriate count for motor rpm and terrain. Periodically inspect the pinion for pitting, burrs or deformation and replace if any damage is present to maintain drivetrain integrity.

Confirm motor shaft diameter, keyway or flat location, and that a 13-tooth profile matches your existing spur gear to ensure correct engagement and alignment.
Seat the pinion, finger-tighten the grub screw, set motor position for a small even gap across the tooth face, tighten the screw, then perform a brief low-load run and recheck mesh and fasteners.
Replace the pinion if teeth show rounding, chips, heavy pitting or if the tooth profile is distorted, as these conditions accelerate wear on the mating spur gear.
