Sharpen RC response with the Serpent SER120173 pinion

The Serpent SER120173 Motor-pinion is a 48 pitch, 35 tooth aluminium gear crafted for hobbyists who need dependable drivetrain behaviour. Its construction supports smooth torque transfer and reliable operation across different setups.

Aluminium pinion benefits for RC setups

Aluminium versions like the Serpent 48P 35T deliver low weight and sufficient strength to preserve acceleration and handling. This balance helps keep rotational mass down while maintaining robust tooth profiles for typical use.

Installation pointers and fitment checks

This pinion works with many motors that accept 48 pitch pinions; always match the pitch to your spur and confirm shaft compatibility. Proper mesh adjustment and periodic inspection are key to long-lasting performance.

Do I need a heat treatment for this aluminium pinion?

Most aluminium pinions are ready to use as supplied. If you expect extreme loads, monitor wear and consider alternatives, but heat treatment is not generally required for normal hobby use.

How do I check for correct mesh under load?

Set mesh with the drive train static then run at low speed while observing for binding or noise. Recheck after a few runs to ensure nothing has shifted.

Will this pinion affect top speed?

Pinion tooth count and weight influence acceleration and top speed. This 35T aluminium pinion aims to balance quick response with steady top end, depending on your overall gearing choice.
