High Precision Pinion from Serpent 600458

The Serpent 600458 18T Pinion Gear is engineered for accurate tooth profile and reliable meshing. It helps hobbyists dial in gear ratios while keeping drive feel consistent across practice and race stints.

Robust Construction with Broad Compatibility

Designed for frequent use, this pinion aims to withstand standard wear and tear encountered in spirited driving. Its adaptable size makes it straightforward to fit across many common RC platforms.

Optimise Throttle and Corner Exits

By installing the Serpent 600458 18T, you can expect steadier torque delivery which aids in smoother throttle application and cleaner corner exits when combined with correct spur selection.

How do I pick the right spur to match this 18T pinion?

Select a spur that achieves your desired overall ratio; smaller spurs yield more top speed while larger spurs favour acceleration. Trial a couple of combinations to find the best balance.

Will fitting this pinion affect battery life?

Gear ratio changes can influence motor load and therefore runtime. Monitor temperatures and runtimes after any gear change to ensure safe operation.

What signs indicate the pinion needs replacing?

Look for chipped or rounded teeth, excessive backlash or slipping under load. Any of these signs mean it is time to swap the pinion.

Can I run this pinion on different surfaces?

Yes, the gear itself is not surface specific, but you may need different gearing or settings to suit tarmac, carpet or rougher terrain.

Any setup tips to get the best from the 18T?

Ensure proper mesh, check motor alignment and use light grease or oil on bearings as required. Small adjustments to pinion position can noticeably improve noise and wear.
