MP11e Pinion Gear Overview

This steel pinion is intended as a replacement and tuning item for electric touring chassis in the Inferno MP Series MP11e range. It matches 18 teeth at 0.8M pitch as stated by the PNGS0818 designation and uses steel to give increased wear resistance for motor drive duties.

Changing the pinion alters the final drive ratio and is a common way to trade acceleration for top speed; ensure the chosen tooth count is compatible with the spur gear and that mesh clearance is correctly set to avoid premature damage. Verify shaft diameter and secure mounting before running.

Fitting recommendations: remove the motor for clear access, confirm correct shaft fit and set screw engagement, inspect for runout or binding when rotating the gear, and perform a cautious bench test before full track use.

The PNGS0818 steel pinion is a practical replacement for MP11e motor drives and a useful tool for fine-tuning gearing on electric touring RC vehicles.

Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some Kyosho items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 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.

Which spur gear specs should I check for fitment?

Confirm the spur gear uses 0.8M pitch and that the diameter and tooth count combine with the 18T pinion to give your desired final drive ratio. Matching pitch is essential for correct engagement.

What should I watch for when balancing ratio and motor load?

Consider motor power, ESC limits and expected track layout; a larger pinion raises load and top speed, so monitor motor temperature and adjust gearing if the motor runs too hot.

Is any special tooling required to fit the PNGS0818?

Standard small hex drivers and a bench vice or motor mount tools are typically sufficient. A dial indicator helps check runout but is not mandatory for basic fitting.

How do I confirm mesh is correct after assembly?

With the motor mounted, use a strip of paper between pinion and spur and adjust until the paper drags slightly, then tighten mounts and recheck under slow motor rotation to ensure smooth engagement.
