This KM013TS 13-tooth motor pinion is produced from steel #45 for hobbyists seeking a durable replacement or tuning part for Kyosho motorcycle models that accept a 13T pinion. Supplied as a single, CNC-friendly geometry component, it installs without modification to motor or gearbox housings.
From a tuning perspective, the 13T pinion alters final drive ratio and therefore affects acceleration and top speed depending on spur gear selection. The steel #45 material is selected for consistent tooth profile retention and improved wear resistance under repeated use compared with non-metal alternatives.
Installation guidance: detach the motor per the model service manual, position the pinion on the motor shaft ensuring precise axial alignment and correct mesh engagement with the spur, and secure using the original fixing method. Manually rotate the drivetrain post-fit to validate smooth engagement and absence of binding before applying power.
