Precision Pinion for Hobby Builds

The Arrowmax AM-348017 pinion gives modelers a dependable option for dialing in gear mesh. Machined from 7075 hard aluminium, it offers a good mix of toughness and precision for everyday club sessions and practice runs.

Where the 48P 17T Excels

This 48-pitch, 17-tooth pinion suits a broad range of electric 1/10 scale cars and buggies. It lets you tweak top speed versus acceleration with predictable results on paved and prepared surfaces.

Alloy Choice and Durability

7075 aluminium is chosen for its strength-to-weight ratio, so the Arrowmax AM-348017 keeps mass low while resisting deformation. That means more consistent engagement lap after lap.

Practical Installation Advice

Set the mesh using feeler or push-fit methods and tighten the grub screw evenly. Check the motor shaft runout and align the pinion to avoid premature tooth wear.

Can I use this pinion on brushed and brushless motors?

Yes, the AM-348017 is a mechanical part and will work with either motor type as long as the motor shaft and gear pitch match the pinion specifications.

Should I change my spur gear when upgrading to this pinion?

If your current spur is worn or of a different pitch, replace it to ensure optimal mesh. A fresh spur paired with a new pinion gives the best contact pattern.

How often should I inspect the pinion?

Check the pinion after every few runs or after heavy impacts. Early detection of damage prevents spur damage and gearbox issues.

Are there tuning tips for better longevity?

Keep gear mesh slightly loose rather than overly tight, avoid grit, and maintain drivetrain seals where possible to reduce abrasive wear.
