The LM016T pinion is specified as a maintenance or upgrade item for MINI-T 2.0 2WD platforms requiring a 16-tooth motor gear. Manufactured from hardened 45# steel, it provides a hardened tooth surface intended to resist wear and maintain consistent meshing under typical hobby loads.
Compatibility and dimensions: the pinion features a 2mm central bore and a 0.5mm tooth pitch. These dimensions must match the motor shaft diameter and the spur gear pitch to ensure correct engagement and predictable gear ratios.
Installation and setup guidance: verify motor shaft cleanliness and concentricity prior to fitting, secure the pinion with the included 3x3 screw shaft, and adjust motor position to achieve a light, uniform contact pattern between pinion and spur. After a brief shakedown at low throttle, retorque the mounting screw and confirm stable operation.
