Precision Pinion for 1/10 Scale Drivetrains

The Serpent 120158 Aluminum Motor Pinion Gear is designed for model builders needing reliable drivetrain components for 1/10 scale cars. With its 48 pitch and 20 tooth count, the pinion supports accurate gear meshing and smooth power delivery while keeping mass down through aluminium construction.

What Makes This Pinion Useful

  • Material: Lightweight aluminium chosen for balance of strength and low mass
  • Pitch: 48P to match standard 1/10 gear inventories
  • Teeth Count: 20T offering fine stepped changes in gearing
  • Application: Appropriate for track and recreational 1/10 scale cars seeking predictable drivetrain behaviour

Installation Hints from Experienced Builders

Align the pinion carefully and set the mesh with a feeler or paper method when fitting the Serpent 120158 Motor Pinion Gear. Lock the set screw securely and use a thread locker for long runs or higher torque motors to prevent slippage.

Yes, the 48P 20T pinion is versatile and can be used in both on road and off road 1/10 cars, subject to checking shaft fit and gear compatibility.
Avoid heavy greases on the pinion teeth; use a light gear grease on spur contact if needed, and keep lubricant off the motor shaft where the set screw locks.
Poor mesh adjustment, debris ingress, and very high sustained loads can speed up wear on aluminium pinions; regular inspection and correct setup help extend life.
