8-tooth pinion 5mm diameter LONG 1

The anglewinder pinion that facilitates adjustment with the crown in any setup

The Mustang M-PC001 pinion is a transmission component with 8 teeth and 5 mm shaft diameter, manufactured in LARGO 1 version for motors installed in anglewinder configuration. Its extended design solves one of the most common problems on the preparation bench: achieving the correct mesh with the crown when it protrudes to a greater or lesser extent depending on the chassis or the setup being worked on.

Function and performance

In an anglewinder configuration, the motor is positioned at an angle to the rear axle, which requires precise alignment between pinion and crown to ensure smooth transmission without play. A standard length pinion may fall short in certain setups, forcing the use of spacers or compromising centering. The LARGO 1 version from Mustang expands the axial adjustment range, allowing the mesh to be shifted until the optimal position is found without straining any component.

• 8 teeth: suitable gear ratio for rally developments and technical circuits.
• 5 mm diameter shaft: fits motors with that standard shaft size.
• Long design: greater axial adjustment travel to accommodate different crown protrusions.
• Anglewinder oriented: specifically designed for this type of motor configuration.

Compatibility and installation

This pinion is intended for motors with a 5 mm diameter shaft mounted in anglewinder, a very common configuration in slot cars prepared for rally categories. Before installation, it is advisable to verify that the pinion module matches that of the crown being used, as this affects the quality of the mesh and the durability of both parts.

The installation is straightforward: it is placed on the motor shaft and fixed to the desired dimension, taking advantage of the extra length offered by this version. We recommend checking the lateral play between pinion and crown with the car on the track before finalising the adjustment.

Ideal for…

• Preparers working with anglewinder chassis in rally category.
• Setups where the crown protrudes more than usual and the standard pinion does not reach the correct mesh point.
• Enthusiasts looking for a quick and reliable adjustment solution without the need for additional spacers.

Aspects to consider

Always check the crown module before choosing the pinion. A mesh with different modules causes premature wear and excessive noise. Also, ensure that the inner diameter of the pinion (5 mm) exactly matches your motor shaft to avoid play or mounting stresses that could damage the shaft.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a standard pinion and the LARGO 1?

The LARGO 1 version has a longer body, which expands the axial displacement range during adjustment. This is particularly useful when the crown protrudes more than usual or when the chassis does not allow centering the mesh with a standard length pinion.

Is it compatible with motors in sidewinder or inline configuration?

It is specifically designed for anglewinder, which is the configuration where its length is most beneficial. Although it could physically fit on a 5 mm shaft of another type of motorization, its geometry is intended for the working angle of the anglewinder.

What crown module should I use with this pinion?

The module is not specified in the manufacturer's available information. We recommend consulting directly with Mustang or checking the brand's catalogue before combining it with a specific crown.

For which rally categories is it intended?

For any slot category that uses anglewinder motors, both in clubs and amateur competitions. The 8-tooth ratio is common in developments aimed at rally circuits with tight corners and technical sections.

How many pinions are included in the pack?

The specification refers to a single unit. If you need more, check if there is a multiple pack presentation available.

The Mustang M-PC001 is an 8-tooth pinion gear with a 5 mm shaft diameter, designed for anglewinder motor configurations in slot car racing. Its extended "LARGO 1" design provides greater axial adjustment range, making it easier to achieve the correct mesh with the crown gear regardless of how much it protrudes. A reliable choice for rally slot car builders and club competitors looking for precise, fuss-free drivetrain setup.
