Accurate Nylon Spur Gear for Electric RC Cars

The Serpent 120016 spur gear provides a 48-pitch, 72-tooth option for electric RC cars where a lightweight yet strong gear is needed. Molded in durable nylon, the design includes 12 small holes and 9 larger holes to make access to motor mounting screws straightforward during fitting or routine maintenance.

Why Choose This Gear

Reliable Nylon Material: Nylon offers impact resistance and retains tooth shape under typical hobby loads.
Marked Tooth Count: 72T is clearly indicated on the gear so you can match ratios quickly.
Service-Friendly Design: The drilled holes simplify motor removal and minor adjustments trackside or in the garage.
General Compatibility: Works with many electric RC car platforms that use 48P spur gears.

Do I need a specific pinion to pair with Serpent 120016?

You should use a pinion with 48P pitch to match the Serpent 120016. Using a mismatched pitch will cause improper mesh and increased wear.

Is the gear balanced for high RPM use?

The gear is moulded with a hole pattern that helps keep balance. For serious high RPM applications inspect for runout and replace if any wobble appears.

How to inspect the gear after a crash?

Look for chipped teeth, cracks around the inner bore, and any deformation near the holes. Replace the spur if you spot damage that could affect mesh or strength.
