Precision Aluminium Pinion for Classic 720-09

The Serpent 802517 Centax 3-Gear Aluminium Pinion 17T is a purpose-made 17-tooth pinion for owners of the 720-09 200mm GP chassis who value consistent gear behaviour. Manufactured from aluminium to combine lightness with strength, it helps maintain clean torque delivery and dependable engagement on a variety of surfaces. It installs easily when dimensions match the chassis shaft.

Engineered for Smooth Power Transfer

The aluminium body reduces inertia while holding up under repetitive use, delivering steady acceleration and less drivetrain drag. The 17T sizing provides a sensible compromise for drivers seeking usable acceleration without overly reducing top speed. Correct mesh and alignment are essential to extract the best performance.

Practical Upgrade for Regular Use

For weekend racers and restorers alike, this pinion is a straightforward way to refresh drivetrain feel. Aluminium assists with heat dispersion during extended runs and offers a predictable wear pattern. Routine checks and cleaning will preserve its performance across many sessions.

It is intended for the 720-09 200mm GP chassis; confirm the shaft diameter and pinion bore match your gearbox before fitting to ensure correct engagement.
Yes, altering pinion tooth count changes the overall ratio. Smaller pinions increase acceleration but reduce top speed, while larger pinions do the reverse. Adjust motor and ESC settings accordingly.
A light dry film or specialised gear lube is usually sufficient; avoid heavy oils that attract dirt. Clean gears after dusty runs and inspect teeth for wear during routine maintenance.
