The Yokomo YOKPG6442 serves as a straightforward replacement pinion for R/C gear trains running 64-pitch gearing. It transmits motor torque to the spur and, together with the spur tooth count, defines the drivetrain ratio.
Installation notes: verify the pinion matches the 64-pitch spur and that the motor shaft and bore alignment are correct before tightening. Begin with a looser mesh, observe tooth contact across the face, then tweak laterally to equalise engagement. Tighten the set-screw(s) while holding the motor secure, and perform a short test run to ensure the mesh remains stable.
Tuning guidance: selecting a different tooth count on the pinion changes the acceleration versus top speed balance; treat the 42-tooth option as part of stepwise ratio testing. After adjustments, monitor for elevated temperatures, abnormal noise, or visible wear and correct mesh or pinion height as required. Routine care includes removing grit from teeth and checking for nicks that could speed wear on both gears.
