JConcepts 48p ‘Silent Speed’ machined alu pinion gear

JConcepts has introduced their Silent Speed pinion gears for 48 pitch racing performance applications.  The heart of any RC vehicle is the transmission, at the top of the transmission lies the spur gear.  Pinion gears or straight-cut gears are some of the simplest forms of gears; however they directly influence the ratio, speed and sound of RC vehicles and they are extremely important.  These gears when meshed together correctly provide the transfer of power from the motor to the transmission and are one of the key elements in the versatility and sound of the vehicle.  The gear includes a durable 3mm set screw which uses a 1.5mm hex wrench.  Silent Speed pinion gears precision machined in aluminium and are very concentric giving the user a consistent gear mesh allowing a more precise adjustment and more “silence” on the race track.  The detailed machining and laser engraving provide a great option to have in the pinion caddy when appearing at any event.  The gears are marked for size and pitch so they are identifiable on or off the vehicle.  Silent Speed pinion gears are also branded with the small JC logo for brand identification and authenticity with the range running from 18T to 38T.
