Listed as Yokomo YOKPG6440, this pinion gear is intended for use in 64 pitch gear trains and is specified by its 40 tooth count. It is a basic replacement part for electric R/C models that accept 64 pitch pinions.
Fit depends on motor shaft diameter and the spur gear pitch. Confirm both measurements before attempting to install. The product is provided as the gear itself and does not include mounting hardware.
Typical installation: access the motor shaft, slide the pinion into place, set mesh so the teeth engage smoothly without tight spots or excess backlash, then secure using your motor's retainer. Avoid using excessive force when fitting to a mismatched shaft and validate mesh under light load prior to regular running.
Tuning impact: swapping to a 40-tooth pinion adjusts the final drive ratio — a practical choice for nuanced tuning between acceleration and top speed. Check mesh and wear periodically to maintain drivetrain performance.
