Replacement motor pinion for micro RC drivetrains

The MG218T/0.5M motor pinion is an RC replacement manufactured from 40Cr steel with a hardened black finish to enhance wear resistance and gear consistency. It features 18 teeth at a 0.5mm module and a motor tooth diameter of 2.2mm to suit common small motor setups.

The pinion mounts on a round motor bore and is secured using two 3x3 set screws. Prior to installation check the motor shaft diameter, module and tooth count to ensure a correct match for safe operation.

Used for like-for-like swaps or when upgrading to a tougher gear material, this hardened-steel pinion provides improved longevity under standard driving and tuning conditions. Install with basic tools and tighten the set screws evenly to maintain alignment.

It fits motors compatible with a 0.5mm module 18T pinion and a motor tooth diameter of 2.2mm; always verify shaft diameter and module before fitting.
Tighten the two 3x3 set screws gradually and check mesh at each step; a small test run will reveal any runout needing correction.
The hardened 40Cr finish increases wear resistance and strength versus softer materials, reducing the frequency of replacements under normal RC use.
