Optimise drivetrain accuracy with the Serpent SER120173 pinion

The Serpent SER120173 Motor-pinion is a 48 pitch, 35 tooth aluminium component engineered for model enthusiasts who demand steady performance. Its construction promotes accurate power delivery and dependable meshing in everyday use.

Reasons to choose an aluminium pinion

Aluminium pinions such as the Serpent 48P 35T offer reduced rotating mass while retaining adequate strength for most RC applications. The lighter profile supports better throttle response and manageable wear characteristics when maintained correctly.

Compatibility guidance and fitting tips

This pinion is compatible with a broad range of motor options when the pitch and shaft size match. During installation, ensure correct mesh clearance with the spur gear and recheck after initial runs to secure long service life.

What checks should I make before fitting this pinion?

Confirm 48 pitch compatibility with your spur, measure shaft diameter for bore fit, and verify there are no burrs on the teeth that could affect mesh.

Can I swap pinion sizes easily?

You can change pinion tooth counts to tune gearing, but always recheck mesh and ensure the motor mount is secure after any swap to prevent damage.

How do I spot early wear on the pinion?

Inspect teeth for rounding, nicks or uneven wear, and listen for increased noise or vibration which can indicate a problem needing attention.

Is aluminium suitable for high torque setups?

Aluminium performs well in many setups but under sustained high torque monitor wear closely. If you see rapid deterioration, consider a harder material for heavy duty applications.

What simple maintenance keeps it running well?

Regular cleaning, correct mesh adjustment and periodic inspections after use will keep the pinion functioning reliably over time.
