Top-speed gearing for M05

This aftermarket gear set gives alternative spur and pinion choices for the Tamiya M05 M-chassis, offering two quicker ratios than the factory 37/21. The 33/21 and 35/21 combinations are intended to increase maximum speed while needing appropriate pinion selection and setup verification.

Pinion recommendations tied to spur sizes are: 37T spur with 16T, 18T or 20T; 35T spur with 18T, 20T or 22T; 33T spur with 20T, 22T or 24T. These pairings help you tune whether you favour top speed or snappier acceleration.

Assembly reminders: always confirm gear mesh and backlash when changing spur size, check motor and ESC loading after adjustments, and inspect bearings and the differential so the drivetrain can cope with sustained higher speeds.

Will these gears overload a stock ESC?

If you pick a high pinion the ESC may see increased current; monitor temps and consider a softer throttle curve or a milder pinion within the suggested range to protect electronics.

How to balance speed and drivability?

Start with the middle pinion in the recommended band for your chosen spur, then test and step up or down to find the best compromise between acceleration and top speed.

Any precautions for long runs?

For extended high-speed use check bearing condition, ensure gears are properly meshed, and keep an eye on motor and ESC temperatures to avoid damage.
