Precision and durability for RC gear trains

The Arrowmax AM-348046 pinion gear is machined from 7075 hard aluminum to deliver consistent tooth geometry and extended service life. This 48P 46T pinion balances light weight with strength to suit a variety of RC car setups.

Built for strength and steady operation

Engineered for hobbyists who demand reliable meshing, the 7075 hard material improves wear resistance without adding unnecessary mass, making it suitable for high rpm use in tuned setups.

Compatibility and typical uses

Intended for transmissions that accept a 48-pitch 46-tooth pinion, this component fits neatly with matching spur gears. It is a straightforward upgrade or replacement for worn factory pinions.

Installation tips from experienced builders

  • Set a correct gear mesh by checking contact pattern under slow rotation to avoid premature tooth damage.
  • Inspect the pinion regularly and replace if you see tooth deformation or heavy scoring.
  • Secure the set screw with a medium-strength thread-locker and torque to the motor mount specification.
Many 1/10 scale on-road and some off-road cars use 48-pitch gearing; check your gearbox spec to confirm a 46-tooth pinion fits your shaft and mesh requirements.
Yes, but expect different wear rates. Aluminum pinions can wear faster than steel spurs under heavy loads, so inspect gear faces regularly and consider lubrication where appropriate.
You may need minor motor height or shim adjustments to achieve optimal mesh; set the mesh and then tighten mounting hardware while rechecking alignment.
