Precision-engineered pinion for consistent gear engagement

The Serpent SER120123 provides a hardened aluminium option for hobbyists seeking predictable performance. With a 64 pitch and 36 teeth, this pinion supports accurate gear meshing and is suited to careful tuning and regular running.

Why pick a hardened aluminium pinion?

Hardened aluminium pinions such as the Serpent SER120123 cut down on rotating mass while offering respectable resistance to wear. They are a practical choice when you want quick throttle response without adding unnecessary weight to the drivetrain.

Compatibility and tuning scenarios

This 64P 36T pinion works well across multiple RC formats and is particularly handy for those who change ratios to suit different tracks or surfaces. It gives you scope to favour acceleration or top speed as required by your setup.

Does the Serpent SER120123 perform well with frequent gear swaps?

Yes. Its aluminium construction makes it light and easy to swap during tuning sessions, though care is needed to avoid over-tightening the grub screw.

How long can I expect it to last under club use?

Longevity depends on conditions and setup, but maintaining correct mesh and keeping debris away from the teeth will maximise service life.

Will using this pinion affect motor temperature?

A lighter pinion can slightly reduce motor load and running temperature, though motor cooling and wiring remain the main factors in thermal performance.

Is aluminium suitable for heavy contact racing?

Aluminium is fine for regular racing, but repeated heavy impacts can damage teeth faster than steel. Inspect after incidents and consider a steel option if heavy contact is routine.

How should I check gear alignment after installation?

Set a small backlash using a feeler and spin the gear by hand to listen for smooth engagement. Adjust mount position until the mesh is even across the teeth.
