The set comes with matching grub screws and a hex key for straightforward installation. It's a flexible way to test different gear ratios on your RC car.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat does the Surpass 48P pinion gear set include?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou get five hardened steel pinion gears: 18T, 19T, 20T, 21T, and 22T. Each gear has a 48 DP (diametral pitch) and a 3.175mm shaft hole. The package also contains five grub screws and one hex key, so you have everything needed to swap gears on your RC car's motor shaft.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eUnderstanding 48 pitch and 3.175mm bore\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePinion gears must match the pitch of your spur gear for proper meshing. A 48-pitch (48P) pinion works only with 48-pitch spur gears. The 3.175mm bore fits standard 1\/10 scale RC car motor shafts. Before installing, confirm that your spur gear is also 48 pitch and your motor shaft diameter is 3.175mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePitch\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e48 DP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBore diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.175mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTooth counts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18, 19, 20, 21, 22\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardened steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMachining\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCNC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 gears, 5 grub screws, 1 hex key\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to choose the right tooth count for your RC car?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eChanging the pinion gear alters your gear ratio, which directly affects acceleration and top speed. A smaller pinion (like 18T) gives more torque for quicker acceleration but lower top speed. A larger pinion (like 22T) does the opposite, increasing speed while reducing torque. Starting with the 18T gear and moving up lets you experiment to find the balance that suits your driving style and track conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill these gears fit my Traxxas or Arrma RC car?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese pinions are designed for 1\/10 scale cars with 48-pitch spur gears and 3.175mm motor shafts. Many brands like Traxxas, Redcat, Tamiya, Losi, and Arrma use this standard on certain models, but always double-check your spur gear's pitch and shaft size before buying.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between 48P and 32P gears?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e48P (48 pitch) means more teeth per inch of diameter, resulting in smaller teeth. 32P has fewer, larger teeth. They are not interchangeable; your spur gear must match the pinion pitch. This set is 48P only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAre the grub screws and hex key included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Each gear comes with a grub screw, and the set includes a hex key for tightening them onto the motor shaft.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Surpass Hobby USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58075844051247,"sku":null,"price":25.73,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0986\/4478\/7503\/files\/surpass-hobby-48p-pinion-gear-set-5-pack-18t-22t-for-110-rc-cars-with-hex-key-1.jpg?v=1781519822","url":"https:\/\/toysforkid.co.uk\/products\/surpass-hobby-48p-pinion-gear-set-5-pack-18t-22t-for-1-10-rc-cars-with-hex-key","provider":"Toys For Kid","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
