Will this spur handle club-level racing?

For club-level and casual racing the Serpent 120016 performs well when used within its design limits. Monitor wear and replace if teeth start to deform after sustained hard use.

How do I check mesh when fitting this gear?

Set a small amount of backlash with the motor in place and rotate the gear to ensure even contact. Use a shim or adjust the motor plate until the mesh is correct for a 48P pinion.

Are replacement spurs available for different tooth counts?

Yes, a range of related spur gears is available with different tooth counts and pitches to change final drive ratio and suit various setups.
