Race-Grade 17T Pinion for XRAY RX8

For skilful tuning of an XRAY RX8, the Arrowmax AM-RX8-348517 17T pinion is a straightforward upgrade. Fabricated from 7075-T6 aluminum, the gear reduces rotational inertia while resisting deformation. The hard-coated finish extends service life under aggressive running.

Compatibility and Tuning Options

Designed to align with XRAY RX8 spur gear profiles, this Arrowmax pinion helps hold a clean mesh under load and improves drivetrain feel. A spread of sizes from 16T to 21T gives competitors flexibility to suit tighter or faster track layouts.

How should I check pinion to spur mesh after fitting?

Install the pinion and use shims to set a small, even backlash across the gear face. Rotate the drivetrain slowly and inspect contact pattern to confirm proper mesh.

Can I use this pinion for practice and competition?

Yes, the construction and coating make it durable enough for both practice sessions and competitive race days when installed correctly.

What signs indicate the pinion needs replacing?

Look for rounded or chipped teeth, heavy burrs, or persistent noise even after mesh adjustments. Replace the pinion if wear affects engagement.

Is this pinion suitable for varied track surfaces?

Yes, the aluminium construction and hard coating perform well across carpet, asphalt and compact dirt, though tooth choice may vary by surface.
