Precision Upgrade for Drive Consistency

The Yokomo BM-4818A Hard Steel Pinion Gear offers a practical enhancement to drivetrain consistency. As an 18-tooth, 48-pitch component, it is tailored to deliver accurate meshing and dependable power transfer in RC models.

Long-Life Construction and Fit

Manufactured from hard steel, this pinion resists abrasion and preserves tooth form through extended usage. The 48-pitch specification makes it compatible with many common 1/10 scale gearsets, enabling straightforward changes when tuning performance.

Straightforward Mounting Procedure

Precision cutting helps the gear locate correctly on standard motor shafts and the supplied 3 x 3mm set screw secures it in position to minimise slippage. It is good practice to recheck the set screw and mesh after the first few runs.
Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some Yokomo items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

Will this suit my touring car gearbox?

If your touring car uses a 48-pitch pinion and the motor shaft diameter matches, the BM-4818A is suitable. Confirm your gearset spec before ordering.

Any tips for preventing slippage?

Ensure the set screw is tightened correctly and avoid overtightening. Use thread locker sparingly if required and recheck after initial runs.

How do I choose a different tooth count?

Select a different 48-pitch tooth count to alter final drive characteristics. Lower tooth counts favour acceleration while higher counts increase top speed, depending on motor and gearing.

Is any special lubrication required?

Use a light gear lubricant on the mating spur if required by your setup, but avoid heavy greases that can attract debris and accelerate wear.
