{"product_id":"team-associated-asc21625-16t-pinion-gear","title":"Team Associated ASC21625 16T Pinion Gear","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Team Associated Pinion Gear, 16 Tooth, is a .5 module pinion gear built with a 2.3mm shaft bore for use on the MT12 Monster Truck platform, meshing with the spur gear to transfer motor power into the drivetrain. Precision-machined for accurate tooth engagement, this gear helps maintain smooth, quiet power transfer and reduces abnormal wear on both the pinion and the mating spur gear compared to a chipped or rounded original gear. As a direct OEM replacement, it matches the factory shaft diameter and mounting setup, so it installs using the stock set screw without requiring any other drivetrain modifications. Swapping in a fresh 16-tooth pinion serves as routine maintenance when the original gear becomes stripped or worn, and as a gearing option for fine-tuning acceleration versus top speed. This is a maintenance and tuning part rather than a wholesale performance upgrade, since it uses the same module and mounting standard as the stock pinion. Pinion gears are a wear item subject to friction and heat, so keeping a selection of tooth counts on hand, including this 16T option, gives MT12 owners an easy way to adjust gearing or replace a worn gear quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Associated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56089775964482,"sku":"ASC21625","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0819\/5063\/8402\/files\/21625_md__69797.1729105205.jpg?v=1788553759","url":"https:\/\/www.powerhobby.com\/products\/team-associated-asc21625-16t-pinion-gear","provider":"PowerHobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
