Accurate machining for consistent gear engagement

The Arrowmax AM-348046 pinion is precision machined from 7075 hard aluminium to provide stable tooth profiles and long-lasting service. The 48P 46T specification delivers predictable gearing for a wide range of RC cars.

Why this 7075 48P 46T pinion stands out

7075 hard aluminium offers a good mix of toughness and low weight, helping to reduce rotating mass while resisting wear under normal running conditions. This makes the part suitable for both club racers and weekend hobbyists.

Where to use this pinion

Fit this 48-pitch, 46-tooth pinion in gearboxes designed for 48P pinions. It pairs with compatible spur gears and is ideal for replacing worn or damaged pinions during routine maintenance.

Pro tips for fitting and care

  • Check the gear mesh visually and with a slow rotation to ensure even tooth contact across the faces.
  • Keep the pinion clean of debris and check for wear after high-mileage sessions.
  • Apply a dab of thread-locker to the set screw and tighten securely to prevent slippage.
If your car uses a 48-pitch pinion and the shaft size matches, the AM-348046 usually fits as a direct replacement; confirm shaft diameter and set-screw position first.
Replacement interval depends on running conditions and load. Inspect after abrasive tracks or intensive runs and replace when tooth edges show rounding or significant wear.
Light deburring can help, but avoid aggressive material removal. Maintain correct mesh first, and only polish minor burrs for improved contact pattern.
Normal gear grease designed for RC spur gears works fine. Avoid heavy greases that attract grit; keep the drive clean for best longevity.
