Precision Engineering for Consistent Drive

The Serpent 600457 Pinion 17T is crafted to deliver steady torque transfer and dependable wear characteristics. Accurate machining reduces backlash and helps maintain predictable handling through long runs.

Why a 17T Could Suit Your Setup

The 17T pinion tends to offer a good compromise between acceleration and high speed, making it a sensible choice for mixed track conditions. Its durable construction copes well with frequent shuffling of setups and race-day demands.

Installation Tips and Fitment Notes

This pinion is compatible with many common transmission systems and is straightforward to fit using standard pinion clamps or grub screws. Verify shaft diameter and pitch before installation to ensure a correct fit and quiet gear mesh.

How do I confirm the pinion pitch matches my spur?

Check the module or DP (diametral pitch) stamped on the spur or consult the chassis manual. Matching pitch is essential for correct tooth engagement and quiet operation.

Will changing to 17T affect gearing noticeably?

Moving pinion sizes alters gear ratio and can change acceleration and top speed. The 17T often softens top speed slightly in favour of quicker acceleration compared with larger pinions.

Any advice for setting up mesh on plastic spurs?

Use minimal pressure to avoid deforming the plastic, check mesh with a strip of paper to get a small clearance, and recheck after a few runs as plastic can bed in.

Can I polish the pinion to reduce noise?

Light polishing to remove burrs can reduce noise, but avoid changing tooth geometry. Focus on correct mesh and lubrication first for the best noise reduction.
