SSB018T 18T Hardened Steel Pinion for Super Baja Motor Drive by GPM  [SSB018T]

18T precision pinion for Super Baja

This 18T motor pinion is a precision aftermarket component for Team Losi Super Baja platforms, supplied as SSB018T. The pinion is manufactured from hardened steel #45 and is intended strictly for electric motor drive use, not for full-size or road vehicle applications.

Functionally, the 18T replaces the stock 19T to change the final drive ratio, allowing a measured shift in acceleration versus top speed characteristics. Proper installation requires setting the motor mount to the hole marked 18T so the pinion engages the motor shaft at the correct axial position.

Engineering notes: produced in hardened steel #45 for increased wear resistance under typical RC motor torque cycles, the pinion is designed to mate with the vehicle spur and existing drivetrain at the matched gear mesh. Verify backlash and mesh pattern after installation to prevent premature tooth fatigue.

Included items in the package are listed here for clarity: motor gear - 1 pcs, 5×5 SST screw - 1 pcs. Confirm screw length and thread engagement before final tightening and secure the pinion to the motor shaft following established pinion mounting procedures for Super Baja platforms.
