Precision-machined aluminium pinion for reliable gear engagement

Precision machined from aluminium, the Serpent 120154 - 48P 16T Aluminum Motor Pinion Gear is designed to deliver steady tooth contact and consistent power transfer. Its 48-pitch, 16-tooth design promotes precise mesh for reduced lash and cleaner acceleration. The hard-anodised finish protects the gear face against scuffing and makes the pinion easier to service between meetings. It is compatible with many 1/10 scale gear systems and works well as a straightforward upgrade item.

How do I check correct gear mesh for this pinion?

Fit the pinion loosely, apply the spur gear, rotate to seating position, then set a small tooth-to-tooth clearance and tighten the grub screw while holding mesh steady.

Is aluminium a good choice over steel pinions?

Aluminium is lighter and can provide good mesh with less impact on motor bearings; steel lasts longer under extreme loads but aluminium with hard-anodize is a well balanced option for many users.

Can I polish the anodised surface to improve contact?

Avoid polishing away the anodise; keep the gear clean and true, and address burrs or nicks mechanically rather than removing the protective finish.
