RC enthusiasts know that drivetrain components are critical to overall vehicle performance. The quality of your pinion gear directly affects acceleration, top speed potential, and the longevity of your motor and transmission system. This Team Corally pinion has been engineered to the exacting standards expected by UK RC racers and serious hobbyists, delivering CNC-cut precision teeth and ultra-true running characteristics that eliminate unwanted vibration. The 24-tooth configuration offers a balanced gear ratio suitable for a wide range of track conditions and motor setups, making it an excellent choice whether you're preparing for competition or enjoying weekend bashing sessions.
Team Corally is renowned throughout the RC car UK community for producing components that combine lightweight construction with outstanding strength and longevity. Every pinion in this range is manufactured on specialised gear machinery in Europe, ensuring consistency and quality control that matches the performance demands of the most competitive drivers. The hard anodised aluminium construction delivers superior strength compared to standard anodised pinions, whilst maintaining the low weight essential for responsive RC car handling.
Key Features
- 7075 T6 Hard Anodised Aluminium Construction — The pinion is manufactured from aerospace-grade 7075 T6 aluminium, which is significantly stronger than standard alloys, and features a hard anodised protective coating that resists wear and extends component lifespan even under intensive racing conditions.
- CNC-Cut Precision Teeth — Every tooth is machined on dedicated CNC gear cutting equipment to deliver perfect tooth shape and absolute concentricity, eliminating runout that would otherwise cause vibration and power loss during acceleration and deceleration.
- Ultra-True Running for Vibration-Free Operation — The combination of precision machining and premium materials ensures that this pinion runs with exceptional trueness, delivering smooth engagement with your spur gear and eliminating the annoying noise and vibration associated with lower-quality components.
- Module 48 DP Compatibility — This pinion is designed to work seamlessly with all 48 DP geared RC cars, allowing you to upgrade or replace worn components whilst maintaining perfect mesh and performance.
- 24-Tooth Configuration — The 24T tooth count provides a versatile gear ratio suitable for various motor sizes and track conditions, offering a balanced approach to acceleration and top speed without requiring multiple pinion options.
- Marked Tooth Number for Easy Identification — Each pinion is clearly marked with the tooth count, allowing you to quickly verify which pinion you're using and simplifying component management across multiple RC vehicles.
- 3.17mm Motor Shaft Compatibility — The pinion features a bore machined for standard 3.17mm (1/8-inch) motor shafts, ensuring perfect fit and eliminating play that could compromise performance or cause premature wear.
- European Manufacturing Quality — Team Corally components are made in Europe to strict quality standards, providing the reliability and consistency demanded by professional racers and serious hobbyists throughout the UK RC scene.
Technical Performance
This 48 DP pinion represents serious engineering excellence in RC drivetrain component design. The 7075 T6 hard anodised aluminium provides extraordinary strength-to-weight characteristics, essential for maintaining responsive handling whilst withstanding the extreme forces generated during rapid acceleration, cornering, and deceleration. The hard anodising process creates a protective surface layer that resists abrasion from constant meshing with your spur gear, significantly extending component life compared to standard anodised alternatives. The pinion measures 9.00mm in gear length with a tooth width of 4.00mm, providing optimal mesh characteristics and load distribution. A 1.5mm hex key is required for secure fastening. Every pinion is manufactured using specialised gear machinery that cuts teeth to exacting tolerances, ensuring perfect concentricity and tooth profile. This precision engineering eliminates the vibration, noise, and efficiency losses associated with stamped or poorly machined competitors' products. The 24-tooth configuration strikes an ideal balance for modern 48 DP geared RC vehicles, delivering strong mid-range acceleration whilst maintaining reasonable top speed capability depending on your specific motor choice and spur gear ratio. Whether you're running high-torque brushless motors for track racing or standard brushed systems for casual bashing, this pinion will deliver consistent, reliable performance. The combination of lightweight construction and exceptional strength means you'll enjoy improved overall vehicle responsiveness and acceleration whilst reducing wear on your motor bearings and transmission components.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does 48 DP mean on this RC car pinion gear? — DP stands for Diametral Pitch, which defines the tooth size and spacing standard. 48 DP means this pinion is designed to mesh with 48 DP spur gears (not 32 DP or other specifications), so you must ensure your spur gear matches this specification for proper engagement and performance.
- Is this pinion suitable for beginner RC car enthusiasts? — Absolutely. Whilst this is a premium component, it's equally suited to beginners and advanced racers. If you own any 48 DP geared RC car and need to replace a worn pinion or want to upgrade your drivetrain, this Team Corally pinion is an excellent investment that will improve performance and reliability.
- What motor shaft size does this pinion fit? — This pinion is designed for 3.17mm (1/8-inch) motor shafts, which is the standard size for most brushless and brushed RC car motors used in 48 DP vehicles throughout the UK hobby scene.
- How does the hard anodised coating benefit this pinion? — Hard anodising creates a much tougher surface than standard anodising, dramatically increasing resistance to wear from constant meshing with your spur gear. This extended durability means your pinion will maintain precise concentricity and smooth engagement for significantly longer, maintaining peak performance and reducing replacement frequency.
- Can I use this pinion with any 48 DP RC car? — Yes. As long as your RC car uses 48 DP geared drivetrain components and has a 3.17mm motor shaft, this pinion will fit and work correctly. This compatibility makes it a versatile upgrade or replacement component for the majority of modern RC buggies, truggy trucks, and race cars in the UK market.
- Why is CNC-cut tooth precision important for RC performance? — CNC precision cutting ensures that every tooth has identical shape and spacing, and that the bore is perfectly centred. This eliminates runout (wobbling) during rotation, which would otherwise cause vibration, noise, efficiency loss, and accelerated wear. Smooth, vibration-free operation translates directly to faster lap times and better handling characteristics.
