    Required, Not Included: GT Tuned Motors Need Steel Pinion Gears
    Sep 7 2025

    Tamiya famously requires steel pinions when upgrading to a 540 GT Tuned Hop-Up Motor. However, in kits where it is included as the stock motor, such as the Super HotShot 4WD 1/10th scale R/C buggy, a steel pinion is not included, but an aluminum one. Why is this? We gear-up and mesh all the facts in this episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast.

I've learned so much about radio controlled model vehicles, their history, their cultural connections, how to fix them, upgrade them, and more. Unfortunately, Audible stopped updating this podcast, even though all other Podcast apps still update with the latest episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast every day even for paid members.

Great Podcast, Just Not on Audible
