Lightweight aluminium pinion for tuned acceleration

The Serpent 120160 48P 22T pinion gear uses quality aluminium to reduce rotating mass while keeping strength where it counts. It is tailored for RC racers wanting cleaner power delivery and snappier throttle transitions on 48-pitch systems.

Durability paired with precise gear engagement

Hardened aluminium construction provides reliable wear resistance under typical race use, and the 22-tooth, 48-pitch profile delivers a balance between torque and top speed. This part is a sensible upgrade for routine maintenance or performance tweaking.

Compatibility notes and installation

The Serpent 120160 fits most RC cars that accept 48-pitch pinions and can be fitted with standard motor shafts and grub screws. Check mesh and motor timing after fitting to optimise drivability.

Yes, the fine 48P tooth profile is commonly used on carpet and smooth surfaces where precise mesh and reduced backlash are important.
Aluminium can show wear sooner than hardened steel in extreme conditions, but quality aluminium and correct mesh offer good life for hobby and club racing applications.
You can often reuse the set screw if it matches the shaft, but inspect for damage and replace if the thread or head is worn to ensure secure mounting.
