High-Precision Aluminium Pinion for Smooth Power Delivery

The Serpent 120168 Aluminum 48P/30T Pinion Gear gives hobbyists a precise option for improving drivetrain behaviour. Crafted from durable aluminium, it maintains gear alignment and smooth engagement under aggressive throttle.

Engineered for Consistent Track Performance

Specifically shaped for racing and spirited club runs, the Serpent 120168 helps preserve consistent acceleration and predictable handling. The 48P, 30-tooth geometry supports precise ratio adjustments without roughness.

Simple Upgrade for Better Drivetrain Efficiency

Use this aluminium pinion when swapping stock parts or dialing in gear ratios for lap time gains. Proper mesh setup and periodic checks will maximise lifespan and reduce wear.

How do I set pinion mesh correctly with this Serpent 120168 gear?

Start with manufacturer recommended spacing, then use tracing compound or a feeler to achieve minimal backlash. Recheck after a few short runs as parts bed in.

Is aluminium stronger than steel for pinion use?

Aluminium offers good strength-to-weight and resists corrosion, but it is softer than hardened steel. It is often preferred for weight savings and smooth mesh rather than ultimate wear resistance.

Will the Serpent 120168 affect gear ratio significantly?

The 30-tooth count is one step in your overall ratio. Changing pinion teeth will alter acceleration and top speed, so test incremental changes to find the best balance for your setup.
