Precision 48-Pitch Pinion Yokomo PG-4818A

The Yokomo PG-4818A is a finely made 18-tooth pinion fashioned from hard-coated aluminium for 48 pitch systems. It delivers reliable tooth engagement and enhanced surface hardness to help resist wear during regular RC use.

Where to Use It

Designed for cars that require accurate gear mesh, the PG-4818A mates with 48 pitch spur gears to promote smooth rotation. Its aluminium build keeps weight low so rotational inertia is reduced for improved throttle response.

Setup Notes and Mesh Checks

Always match the pinion to a 48 pitch spur and confirm the motor shaft fits the bore. After installation, run a careful mesh check and re-tighten fixings after the first short session to ensure long life.
Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some Yokomo items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

Do I need a specific spur gear?

Yes, pair the PG-4818A with a 48 pitch spur gear for correct tooth profile and engagement. Using a different pitch will cause poor mesh and accelerated wear.

How often should I inspect the gear?

Inspect the pinion after every run that exposes it to dirt or impacts. Look for chipped teeth, looseness at the set screw, and signs of coating wear.

Can I use this in high-power builds?

It is suitable for many hobby-level power setups, but ensure proper mesh and cooling for high-power applications to avoid premature wear.
