Solid aluminium pinion for dependable drivetrain response

The Serpent SER120180 pinion is a no-nonsense component for modelers wanting consistent gear engagement. Built from hard aluminium, it keeps weight low while providing a precision tooth profile for steady operation.

48-pitch, 62-tooth layout for smooth torque handover

This 48-pitch 62-tooth pinion is cut to maintain accurate meshing with corresponding spurs, reducing vibration and limiting premature wear on surrounding drivetrain parts.

Vehicle fit and practical advice

Suitable across a broad range of 48-pitch systems, this pinion is handy when you run multiple cars or frequently change motor setups. Aluminium construction improves thermal transfer compared to some plastics.

Do I need any special tools to fit Serpent SER120180?

Basic tools such as hex keys for the set screws and a small screwdriver or spanner for motor mounts are sufficient. Use a torque approach rather than overtightening to avoid deforming the shaft.

How do I spot wear on an aluminium pinion?

Look for rounded tooth edges, metal shaving in the gear box, or inconsistent mesh patterns. Replace the pinion if tooth profile degrades noticeably to protect the spur.

Is aluminium better than steel for pinions?

Aluminium is lighter and dissipates heat well, which benefits handling and thermal control, while steel is tougher for heavy-duty, high-wear applications. Choose based on your power and durability needs.
