Reduce Rotational Mass with HUDY 294018

The HUDY 294018 Aluminium ULTRA-LIGHT Pinion Gear is tailored to reduce rotating weight while keeping robust tooth geometry for 48-pitch systems. This 18-tooth pinion is aimed at hobbyists who value precise drivetrain feel.

Long-Lasting Hard-Coated Finish

A hard-coated aluminium construction increases resistance to wear and helps maintain smooth gear contact over time. The light alloy core helps lower inertia, which benefits acceleration and transient response.

Suitable for Racing and Practice Sessions

Whether you are testing setups or racing, the HUDY 18T pinion delivers consistent engagement and lower friction. The coating helps limit heat build-up and keeps operation smooth during extended runs.

Specifications

  • Material: Hard-Coated Aluminum
  • Teeth Count: 18T
  • Pitch: 48

The HUDY 18T Aluminium Pinion Gear suits builders and racers seeking a dependable, light pinion for 48-pitch setups. Its balance of durability and mass saving makes it a practical upgrade.
Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some HUDY items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 8-12 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

Is this compatible with different motor shaft diameters?

Compatibility depends on the pinion bore and motor shaft size. Adaptor sleeves are commonly used to fit pinions to non-matching shafts.

What gear ratios pair well with an 18T pinion?

An 18T pinion works with many spur gear choices; use tyre size, motor KV and desired top speed to calculate an appropriate ratio for your track or surface.

How should I clean and inspect the pinion?

Remove debris after runs, check for chipped teeth and examine the coating for wear. Light brushing and solvent cleaning keep contacts clear without damaging the treatment.

Can I re-use this pinion after heavy wear?

If tooth profiles are rounded or the coating is significantly damaged, replace the pinion to avoid accelerated wear on the spur gear and gearbox components.

Does the coating affect noise levels?

The hard coating can reduce friction-related noise slightly, but overall noise is primarily determined by mesh settings and quality of mating gears.
