GPM Racing Hardened Steel 45# 14T Pinion Gear - 2pcs Set for Losi 1/18 2WD Mini-T 2.0 Stadium Truck (LM014T)

Technical overview of the LM014T pinion

The LM014T pinion is a precision aftermarket component designed to interface with Team Losi Mini-T 2.0 2WD drivetrains. Manufactured from hardened 45# steel, it features a 2mm bore, 0.5mm tooth pitch and 14 teeth to provide consistent engagement and wear characteristics suitable for tuning and repair tasks.

Key fitting notes and installation points:

• Design: hardened 45# steel pinion, 14T, 0.5mm pitch optimized for matching spur gears.
• Bore: 2mm centre hole for motors with a 2mm shaft; verify motor shaft diameter prior to installation.
• Installation: ensure axial alignment on the motor shaft, set accurate gear mesh with the spur gear, torque the set screw to specification and confirm concentricity to minimise runout.
• Tuning role: the 14T count modifies the final drive ratio compared with other sizes, providing a balance between acceleration and top-end speed depending on motor and track demands.
• Included items as supplied: pinion gear (1 pcs) and a 3x3 screw shaft (1 pcs).

This item is intended as an RC drivetrain upgrade or spare part and is not for full-scale vehicle application.

Shaft compatibility and measurement

Confirm the motor shaft measures 2mm diameter using calipers; the LM014T bore is not reamed for larger shafts and will not fit other diameters without modification.

Recommended mesh setting procedure

Apply light gear compound to the spur, fit the pinion, rotate to seat the teeth, then set a minimal backlash to avoid binding while ensuring full tooth contact across the face width.

Inspection and service intervals

Inspect tooth faces and set screw tightness after initial running and at regular service intervals; replace the pinion if you detect chipping, excessive wear or deformation. Write Product Review Please sign in your account before you can write any review. Sign In Close
