Compact 18T Pinion Yokomo PG-4818A

The Yokomo PG-4818A is an 18-tooth pinion made from hard-coated aluminium, crafted for 48 pitch gearsets. It provides a harder contact surface to slow down wear while remaining light to help keep drivetrain inertia low.

Recommended Uses and Pairing

This pinion is intended for RC vehicles that call for precise 48 pitch engagement and pairs best with matching spur gears. The aluminium construction reduces rotating weight which can sharpen throttle response and maintain efficient power delivery.

Mounting Tips and Care

Ensure you only pair the Yokomo PG-4818A with a 48 pitch spur and confirm the motor shaft fits the bore. After installation, inspect and fine tune gear mesh and recheck fastenings after initial 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.

Is this pinion suitable for high-rev motors?

It can be used with high-rev motors provided the gear mesh is correct and the motor shaft matches the pinion bore. Monitor wear more closely in high-stress setups.

What maintenance will extend life?

Regularly remove debris, check for tooth damage, and ensure set screws remain tight. Occasional inspection of the coating and tooth edges will spot wear early.

Can I swap pinion sizes easily?

You can change pinion tooth counts to adjust gearing, but always re-check mesh and confirm compatibility with your spur gear and motor before running.
