Technical overview for 3RACING 48 Pitch Pinion Gear 36T

The 3Racing 48 Pitch Pinion Gear 36T is manufactured from 7075 aluminium with a hard coating applied to the tooth surfaces to improve wear resistance. Its construction targets consistent tooth profile retention for predictable mesh in competitive tuning scenarios.

Design intent and drivetrain impact

As a critical component of final drive ratio selection, this pinion balances weight and strength to reduce inertia while preserving durability. The 48 pitch 36T geometry provides a usable compromise between acceleration and top speed when matched to typical 1/10 scale spur options.

Tuning and compatibility notes

Installers should confirm spline fit and set backlash precisely to optimise engagement and minimise localized loading. This pinion suits a broad set of 1/10 platform layouts where maintaining accurate gear alignment under race conditions is required.

Compatibility depends on your motor shaft spline. Verify the motor spline count and diameter against the pinion bore; adapters or different pinions may be required for non matching splines.
Set minimal but safe backlash, check for even tooth contact, and recheck after a few heat cycles. Proper shimming and secure grub screw torque help prevent movement under load.
For higher durability consider steel options if weight is not a constraint, or select alternate tooth counts to refine acceleration and top end for specific track conditions.
