Engineered Pinion for Smooth Gearmesh

The Yokomo BM-4818A Hard Steel Pinion Gear provides a solid upgrade for smooth, repeatable drive response. As an 18-tooth DP48 pinion, it aims to keep gear engagement accurate under both track sessions and practice laps.

Wear Resistance and Fitment

Forged from hardened steel, this pinion delivers good resistance to tooth wear and maintains shape over regular use. The 48-pitch sizing matches many 1/10 scale gearsets, allowing straightforward swaps when experimenting with ratios.

Fast, Straightforward Installation

Precision cutting helps the pinion seat cleanly on standard motor shafts and the supplied 3 x 3mm set screw secures the gear firmly. After fitting, fine-tune the mesh and recheck the set screw after initial runs to avoid loosening.
Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some Yokomo items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

Is the 48-pitch a common standard for 1/10 scale?

48-pitch is widely used in many 1/10 scale cars, especially on on-road and touring models. Check your existing pinion and spur to confirm compatibility.

What tools do I need to fit the pinion?

A small hex driver or Allen key for the 3 x 3mm set screw and a feeler or shim to set mesh are usually sufficient. A torque light touch prevents over-tightening.

Will this pinion affect motor temperatures?

Changing tooth count or mesh can alter load on the motor. Keep an eye on temperature after any gear changes and choose ratios that suit your motor and driving style.

Can I use this in off-road models as well?

If the off-road model uses a 48-pitch motor pinion and the shaft size matches, the BM-4818A can be used. Ensure protection from mud and debris to prevent premature wear.
