Refine drivetrain performance with Serpent SER120173 aluminium pinion

The Serpent SER120173 Motor-pinion is a 48 pitch, 35 tooth aluminium component made for modelers who value consistency and control. Its sturdy build ensures dependable power transfer for both practice and competitive use.

Why aluminium works well for pinion gears

Using aluminium for the Serpent 48P 35T keeps the pinion light yet durable, helping maintain acceleration and reducing inertial load on the motor. It is a common choice when you want durable gearing without excess weight.

Compatibility tips and fitting advice

This pinion suits a wide selection of motor setups but always verify pitch and shaft fit before installing. Align the pinion accurately with the spur gear and check for smooth rotation to minimise wear.

Can I use this pinion on different motor types?

Yes, the pinion is compatible with many motor types as long as the shaft diameter and 48 pitch match your spur gear. Always confirm fit before final installation.

Should I lubricate the gear teeth?

Generally keep teeth clean and dry; minimal use of suitable grease on mating surfaces can help reduce noise and wear in some setups. Avoid excess lubricant that attracts dirt.

How often should I inspect the pinion?

Check the pinion after each few sessions and after any impact. Look for chipped teeth, looseness at the shaft, and correct mesh to prevent drivetrain issues.

Is aluminium prone to stripping compared to steel?

Aluminium is softer than steel but its lower weight benefits acceleration. For heavy duty applications or high torque, monitor wear and consider swapping to appropriate materials if needed.
