FAQ

Rugged pinion for Yeti drivetrains

This single aftermarket pinion is made for Axial Racing Yeti and Yeti XL platforms, supplied under model YT018TS. The 32 pitch, 18-tooth steel pinion is intended for trail and rock racer drivetrains where a more durable motor pinion is needed for routine gearing adjustments and tuning.

Key practical notes:

Material and form: steel #45 construction for improved wear resistance compared with softer alloys, supplied as 1 pcs set for direct replacement.
Compatibility: fits Axial Racing Yeti and Yeti XL motor pinion applications that accept 32 pitch 18T gears; verify shaft diameter and set-screw location before installation.
Installation tips: set correct gear mesh with the spur gear, secure the set-screw to the motor shaft without over-torquing, and check for endplay or bearing binding after installation.
Tuning role: changing tooth count alters effective gearing and motor load; use the 18T option when seeking a balance between low-end torque and top speed on technical trails.

What is this pinion made from?

This pinion uses steel #45 to provide greater wear resistance in motor pinion duty compared with softer pinion alloys.

Will it fit both Yeti and Yeti XL?

It is specified for Axial Racing Yeti and Yeti XL setups that accept a 32 pitch, 18T pinion; always confirm shaft diameter and set-screw position before fitting.

How do I check gear mesh after install?

Position the motor to achieve minimal clearance between pinion and spur, rotate the gears to ensure smooth engagement, then tighten the set-screw and recheck mesh and bearing play.
