3RACING 3RAC-PG4816 48 Pitch 16T Racing Pinion  [3RAC-PG4816]

Race-Grade 3Racing 48 Pitch 16T Pinion for Precise Gear Mesh

The 3Racing 48 Pitch Pinion Gear 16T is produced from 7075 aluminium with a hard-coated finish to deliver a lightweight yet wear-resistant option for tuned drivetrains. Its construction supports consistent tooth engagement and predictable backlash across repeated runs.

Technical Benefits for Setup and Tuning

7075 aluminium provides a high strength-to-weight ratio while the hard coating enhances surface durability without significant mass increase. This makes the pinion suited to setups where quick throttle response and stable gear mesh are priorities.

Application Notes and Compatibility

Built for 48 pitch systems, the 16T count offers a common baseline for ratio tuning. Ensure correct motor shaft adapter and verify gear centre distance during setup to maintain optimal tooth contact and prevent premature wear.

Installation and Maintenance for Racers

For best results, set minimal but safe backlash, check gear alignment under static and light dynamic load, and confirm secure mounting torque. Periodic inspection of the coating and tooth faces after event sessions will help preserve performance.
