FAQ

Built pinion for Yeti platforms

This aftermarket pinion, model YT018TS, is produced for Axial Racing Yeti and Yeti XL vehicles. The 32 pitch, 18-tooth steel pinion suits trail and rock racer drivetrains where a more robust motor pinion is useful for repeated gearing changes and tuning sessions.

Key practical notes:

Material and form: constructed in steel #45 to offer higher wear resistance than softer alloys, provided as a 1 pcs set for direct swap-in.
Compatibility: intended for Axial Racing Yeti and Yeti XL applications that take 32 pitch 18T motor pinions; double-check shaft diameter and set-screw location before fitting.
Installation tips: establish correct mesh with the spur gear, secure the set-screw without excessive torque, and inspect for bearing binding or endplay after installation.
Tuning role: using an 18T pinion alters gearing and motor load; select this tooth count when tuning for stronger low-speed control or different top-speed tradeoffs.

Does this replace the stock pinion directly?

If your Yeti/Yeti XL uses 32 pitch 18T pinions and the shaft/set-screw match, this will replace the stock motor pinion directly.

How does tooth count affect performance?

Reducing or increasing tooth count changes final drive ratio, affecting acceleration and top speed; 18T is often chosen for a compromise between torque and speed on technical runs.

Any torque tips for tightening the set-screw?

Tighten the set-screw firmly but avoid over-torqueing to prevent shaft damage; use thread locker only if you know the motor shaft material tolerates it.
