The 175RC Polypro Hybrid 48 Pitch Pinion Gears feature a hybrid design that combines an aluminum center hub with a non slip molded Polymer Gear. The molded tooth profile is much smoother than a typical machined metal gear and provides a quieter and smoother running gear train. Plus, the lightweight of the hybrid design has been proven to increase acceleration off the line and out of the corners, as well as improve the overall feel of the power delivery and efficiency when compared to heavier standard pinion gears.



Features:

  • Ultra Lightweight Hybrid design Aluminum/Polymer
  • Molded teeth for ultra smooth gear mesh
  • Thinner profile
  • Quicker Motor RPM
  • Must have for Stock racing
  • Color coded for tooth count identification
    • Purple: 26 Tooth
    • Blue: 27 Tooth
    • White: 28 Tooth
    • Red: 29 Tooth
    • Green: 30 Tooth
    • Yellow: 31 Tooth
    • Pink: 32 Tooth
    • Black: 33 Tooth

175RC Polypro Hybrid 48P Pinion Gear (3.17mm Bore) (28T)
I tried a 28T pinion on my 13.5 T motor for my stadium truck. A regular steel pinion wouldn't fit due to a short motor shaft. These work fantastic! I haven't had any problems with a 13.5T motor. I will definitely buy more of these.

*WARNING* the set screw on these pinions are 1.3mm, not 1.5mm!

175RC Polypro Hybrid 48P Pinion Gear (3.17mm Bore)
Love these pinions! Running them on my B6 w/ a 13.5T. I wouldn't go lower than that. Also, I used a fine tip sharpie to write the number on the metal of the pinion. It would be nice if they had it stamped, but we adapt.

I did also have trouble like the guy who gave one star. My 29 tooth came unfastened after one run and became attached to the motor and kept working. It took a lot of work to free it without doing any damage to the motor or pinion. Still love them, they just need some QC.

175RC Polypro Hybrid 48P Pinion Gear (3.17mm Bore)
Great pinions! Have not had any issues so far with them. Lighter than any other pinion you can find. Perfect for 17.5 racing. Would not use for mod racing.

175RC Polypro Hybrid 48P Pinion Gear (3.17mm Bore)
Works great on my B6.1 17.5 wheeler. Light weight and quieter running gear train.
Just a tip, I have only metric tools - and you`ll need a .050" hex driver for the set screw.

175RC Polypro Hybrid 48P Pinion Gear (3.17mm Bore)
Very good pinions. I was worried about the durability/reliability issue because they are "plastic" but i haven't had a single one strip or chip teeth yet. I have been using these pinions for about 3 months with no issues. The only thing that came up was a difficulty in removing the pinion from the motor. I had to use a 90 degree pick to remove it. Other than that, I love these things. The price is great as well at 4.99/ea.

175RC Polypro Hybrid 48P Pinion Gear (3.17mm Bore)
Pinions seems solid to me. Haven't had any issues with them in my 17.5 t5m. Exotek just released an ultra light pinion design that looks really cool. I thought about trying it in a size that I don't have, but they weigh in around 1.1g. With that being said, 175rc is still the lightest pinion available and half the money, so I'm sticking with them. It makes the most sense.

175RC Polypro Hybrid 48P Pinion Gear (3.17mm Bore) (29T)
Awesome product! So far put in around 500 laps with this in my RC10B6.1d in an indoor clay track. It makes your drive train super quiet! and quiet means efficient. I'll probably order a few more with more teeth once I get more consistent lap times to get more speed down the straightaways.

175RC Polypro Hybrid 48P Pinion Gear (3.17mm Bore) (31T)
I was given one of these 31T pinion gear, I too have succumb to the mysterious missing set screw.. It's out there some where.
It seems to have come out and the burr that gets pushed out the shaft side seemed to have done a couple things.. it wedged it's self stuck to the shaft and it seems to have quieted down. I had bought a backup stock gear just incase. So far it's been hanging in there for a really real long time at least 6-10 events plus practice days. I figure when it's toast I'll have to use vise grips on the end of the shaft and twist it backwards toward the flat.

175RC Polypro Hybrid 48P Pinion Gear (3.17mm Bore) (22T)
Super lightweight vs all metal pinions. I've been working at changing over all my 48p vehicles to these, as they are noticeably lighter and are way quieter vs a metal pinion.

These come color-coded to indicate tooth count. Should be stamped with tooth count too.

175RC Polypro Hybrid 48P Pinion Gear (3.17mm Bore)
For the 31 tooth version.
The pinion is very light in weight. Problem is I may have got a faulty pinion. After one practice section the pinion set screw flew out and the pinion was stuck to the motor some how. The set screw was completely secured prior to practice. Wont buy again
