Fine-Tune the 720-09 with a Serpent Pinion

The Serpent 802517 Centax 3-Gear Aluminium Pinion 17T is tailored for owners of the classic 720-09 200mm GP chassis who want cleaner power delivery. Forged from aluminium for longevity and lightness, the 17-tooth layout gives a tidy trade-off between acceleration and top-end speed. It is an easy swap that helps modernise drivetrain response without major changes.

Designed to Reduce Rotational Load

Aluminium construction keeps rotating mass low while retaining strength where it matters. The 17T profile helps deliver consistent torque to the spur gear, improving throttle response on tight circuits. Compatibility is straightforward when matching the pinion bore and shaft dimensions to the chassis.

Suited to Club Racing and Weekend Runs

Whether preparing for a club meeting or fine-tuning a weekend car, this pinion gives reliable performance under repeated use. Aluminium aids in heat dispersion and maintains shape under moderate stress, making it a practical upgrade for regular use.

Potentially yes if the other kit shares the same pinion shaft size and gear module. Confirm dimensions before fitting to avoid poor mesh or slippage.
Aluminium may give a slightly different tone compared to steel or brass, but correct mesh and alignment are the main factors affecting noise. Proper setup ensures smooth and quiet engagement.
Check the pinion after several hard runs or if you notice slippage or unusual vibration. Look for wear on teeth and any deformation around the bore, and replace if performance drops.
