Race-grade aluminium pinion for crisper throttle response

The Serpent 120160 48P 22T pinion gear is crafted from durable aluminium to offer an effective weight-to-strength ratio. It is aimed at drivers who want improved power transfer and steadier acceleration in competitive and club environments.

Built to handle regular racing demands

This hardened aluminium pinion holds up well under normal race stresses, while the 22-tooth 48-pitch design helps fine-tune acceleration versus top speed characteristics. It makes a solid addition for both tuning sessions and routine replacements.

Fitment and tuning advice

The Serpent 120160 fits standard 48-pitch setups and installs using common pinion mounting hardware. Always set correct gear mesh and verify motor cooling after installation to avoid overheating in sustained runs.

Will this work with my brushless motor?

Yes, it will work with brushless or brushed motors as long as the motor shaft and pinion bore are compatible and the pitch matches the spur gear.

Should I change spur gear when swapping pinions?

Not always, but changing the pinion changes gear ratio. Check the combined ratio and adjust the spur if you need a different top speed or acceleration balance.

How do I check correct gear mesh?

Use the feeler or paper method to set a small clearance between pinion and spur, then lock the pinion and run slowly to confirm even contact across the teeth.
