Race-Focused 44T Pinion for Tuned Drivetrains

The 3RACING 48 Pitch Pinion Gear 44T is engineered for racers and tuners who need a stable, light, and wear resistant pinion. Machined from 7075 aluminium and treated with a hard coating, it aims to deliver repeatable tooth geometry under high RPM and sustained loads.

Material and Setup Considerations

7075 aluminium provides the strength-to-weight ratio desirable in competitive builds, while the hard coating increases surface hardness to reduce tooth deformation. When setting up, pay attention to mesh alignment, backlash, and motor positioning to optimise power transfer and minimise premature wear.

Tuning and Performance Notes

The 44T count gives a specific gearing step useful for fine tuning top speed versus acceleration on 1/10 scale cars. Use the pinion in combination with an appropriate spur and check mesh often during initial sessions to establish a stable setup for race conditions.

Set a small, consistent backlash using a gauge or paper method, then secure the motor mount. Verify mesh under load and after a short run to confirm there is no tight spot or excessive play.
The hard coat improves resistance to abrasive wear and helps maintain tooth profile during sustained high RPM operation, which is beneficial in high output brushless systems.
Inspect pinion and spur for even tooth wear, confirm set screws remain tight, and recheck gear mesh. Small adjustments to motor position can refine performance after initial bedding in.
