The Yokomo YOKPG4828 pinion is manufactured as a 48 pitch, 28-tooth component intended for use in scale electric model drivetrains. The ultra-hard finish described in the item name provides improved surface durability compared with untreated stock parts, making it suitable as a replacement or spare for 48 pitch systems.
Installation notes: inspect spur mesh and confirm correct axial placement on the motor shaft, ensure bearings are free to turn, avoid compressing bearing seals when setting the gear, and always hand-rotate the drivetrain to detect any tight spots before applying power. Make modest backlash corrections incrementally to find the best engagement.
Tuning role: swapping to a different 28T vs other tooth counts on 48 pitch gearing changes the gear ratio and will alter acceleration and top-end behavior; use pinion swaps to tailor performance to track surface and motor characteristics while keeping within 48-pitch compatibility.
