Improve Gear Mesh with Serpent 120166

Enhance your model's drivetrain with the Serpent 120166 48P/28T motor pinion for crisper engagement and reliable operation. Constructed from hard aluminium, it is intended to hold up under regular race day demands.

Precision Cut for Smooth Operation

The 48-pitch, 28-tooth design aims to deliver consistent torque flow and reduced lash. High-quality hard aluminium construction helps maintain tooth form through repeated running.

Straightforward Installation on 48P Gearboxes

Engineered for 48-pitch spur gears, this pinion offers a precise fit and secure mounting to minimise movement during high load. Correct mesh reduces wear and noise.

Suited to Racing and Routine Servicing

Whether fitting as an upgrade or replacing an old pinion, the Serpent 120166 supports stable drivetrain performance and longer intervals between part changes.

Do I need a shim or spacer with this pinion?

Some motor setups require shims to achieve the correct mesh; check motor plate spacing and secure the pinion once the mesh is confirmed.

Will this pinion work with brushed and brushless motors?

Yes, the pinion is compatible with both motor types provided the shaft and bore match; ensure correct mounting hardware and mesh for each installation.

How often should I inspect the pinion?

Inspect teeth regularly after high-stress sessions or every few meetings; look for burrs, nicks or uneven wear and replace if performance degrades.

Can I use threadlock on the set screws?

Use a drop of removable threadlock on steel set screws if you need extra security, but avoid permanent adhesives that prevent future adjustments.

Is this pinion compatible with aluminium spurs?

Yes, it meshes with aluminium spurs of the correct 48-pitch, though monitor wear rates as aluminium-on-aluminium can show different wear patterns than mixed material pairings.
