Consistent Meshing for Dependable Drive

The Serpent 600457 Pinion 17T is manufactured to tight tolerances to ensure reliable engagement with spur gears. Consistent tooth contact reduces vibration and helps maintain predictable throttle response.

Choosing 17 Teeth for Your Gear Ratio

A 17T pinion offers a practical middle ground between acceleration and top speed, making it useful for many track layouts. Its construction supports repeated setup changes and routine club use.

Fitment Advice and Best Practices

Confirm shaft diameter and gear pitch before fitting, then set mesh to a light contact to avoid premature wear. Recheck mesh after a few runs and after any significant impact to preserve gear life.

Will this pinion suit vintage and modern chassis?

It will fit many modern chassis that share the same shaft size and gear pitch. Vintage cars may use different standards, so verify dimensions before purchase.

Can changing to a 17T reduce motor strain?

A smaller pinion can lower required motor load for acceleration, but overall motor strain depends on track demands and battery setup. Monitor temps after any gearing change.

Do I need specialist tools to fit this pinion?

Basic hand tools suffice for most installations, along with a feeler gauge or paper for mesh setting. More precise setups can benefit from a mesh gauge or digital calipers.

What are signs the pinion is causing gear noise?

Harsh grinding, whining under load, or intermittent knocking indicate poor mesh or damaged teeth. Stop running and inspect both pinion and spur to prevent further damage.
