Reliable aluminium pinion for steady drivetrain behaviour

The Serpent SER120180 pinion offers a straightforward way to improve gear engagement without adding unnecessary weight. Made from hard aluminium, it is suited to hobbyists who swap parts between cars and expect consistent fitment.

Designed for clean power delivery and lowered friction

With a 48-pitch, 62-tooth profile, this pinion promotes smoother power transfer from motor to gear train and helps reduce heat build-up from excess friction. Precision teeth geometry keeps contact patterns tidy.

Compatibility tips and installation reminders

This pinion is compatible with most setups running 48-pitch spur gears; double-check shaft size and grub-screw alignment when fitting. The aluminium body aids heat dissipation during longer club sessions.

Can I use Serpent SER120180 on both brushed and brushless motors?

Yes. The pinion is compatible with both motor types provided the motor uses a 48-pitch pinion interface and the shaft diameter and mounting method match.

Will aluminium change my gear ratio feel?

The tooth count determines the ratio, but aluminium reduces rotating mass slightly, which can make throttle response feel a bit crisper compared with heavier pinions.

Any precautions when swapping pinions between cars?

Always check the set screw torque, ensure the key or flat on the shaft lines up, and verify mesh after tightening. A quick bench spin will show if the mesh is consistent.
