FAQ

Motor pinion for Yeti vehicles

This single 18-tooth, 32 pitch steel pinion is supplied for Axial Racing Yeti and Yeti XL applications under model YT018TS. It is intended to provide a more durable motor pinion option for hobbyists tuning gearing for trail or rock racing conditions.

Key practical notes:

Material and form: manufactured in steel #45 to improve wear resistance against lighter alloys, shipped as a 1 pcs set for straightforward replacement.
Compatibility: suitable for Axial Racing Yeti and Yeti XL motor pinion fits that accept 32 pitch 18T gears; always verify shaft diameter and set-screw position before fitting.
Installation tips: align gear mesh with the spur gear for minimal clearance, tighten the set-screw without excessive force, and check bearings and endplay after installation.
Tuning role: swapping to an 18T pinion changes gearing and motor load; this size is useful when adjusting torque and top-speed balance on technical sections.

Is shaft diameter critical for fit?

Yes, confirm the motor shaft diameter and set-screw position match the pinion specifications before attempting installation to avoid fit issues.

Can I use this with higher KV motors?

The steel construction handles higher RPMs better than softer materials, but ensure the rest of the drivetrain is rated for the increased loads before running high KV setups.

Will changing to 18T affect gearing much?

Yes, tooth count changes final ratio; moving to 18T will alter acceleration and top speed characteristics, so pick based on your track or trail needs.
