The Yokomo YOKPG4828 is a 28-tooth, 48 pitch pinion intended for scale electric car drivetrains, featuring an ultra-hard surface finish as noted in the product description. It functions as a replacement or upgrade option where 48 pitch gears are specified and sits in the common tooth-count range used for balancing acceleration and top speed.
Installation notes: verify correct mesh with the matching spur, check motor shaft alignment and bearing freedom, avoid pressing the pinion too far onto the shaft to prevent bearing preload, and rotate by hand to confirm smooth engagement before running the model under power. Make small backlash adjustments rather than large corrections to reach the ideal engagement.
Tuning role: choosing different pinion tooth counts within 48 pitch setups directly changes overall gear ratio, so swapping pinions like this one is a straightforward way to tune acceleration and top speed according to track demands and motor characteristics.
