Reliable 23T Pinion from Hobbywing

The Hobbywing 30820202 - 23T 5mm 48P Steel Pinion Gear for RC Cars is aimed at drivers who need consistent gear engagement across racing and trail conditions. Constructed from 40CR steel and hardened to about 48-53HRC, the pinion holds form under load and resists premature wear. A 5mm bore ensures fitment with common 1/10 motor shafts and popular platforms like the Traxxas Slash 4x4.

Balance Between Torque and Speed

Swapping the pinion tooth count is a straightforward method to tune your drivetrain for different surfaces. Use a lower tooth count to gain extra torque for rough trails, or raise the tooth count to favour higher top speed on smoother tracks. This flexibility makes it easy to adapt one vehicle to multiple disciplines.

Technical Specifications

  • Bore Diameter: 5mm
  • Modulus: 0.53mm
  • Material: 40CR Steel
  • Compatibility: Suitable for 1/10 SCT, Truck, and Monster Truck models

Is the 48P pitch common in hobby gearboxes?

Yes, 48P is a frequently used pitch for 1/10 class drivetrains and matches many spur gears supplied with SCT and truck models.

Will this pinion affect ESC or motor choice?

Changing gearing alters load on the motor and ESC. If you increase pinion size for speed, keep an eye on motor temps and ESC current to ensure components are within safe operating limits.

Any tips for fitting and run in?

Set correct mesh, run the vehicle at low speed for a short break-in, then recheck mesh and fasteners. Regular checks will extend gear life and avoid damage to the spur gear.
