Race-ready 18T pinion for XRAY RX8

The Arrowmax AM-RX8-348518 18T pinion is turned from 7075-T6 aluminium to reduce rotating weight while keeping tooth strength high. The hard-coated finish improves wear resistance so the gear keeps a clean mesh under racing loads.

Balanced lightness and toughness

7075-T6 aluminium gives a low inertia feel without sacrificing durability, which helps acceleration response. The hard coating limits surface wear and lengthens usable life between replacements.

Simple fit and tuning range

Engineered to mesh with XRAY RX8 spur gears, the pinion is offered across a typical tuning spread of 16T to 21T. That scope lets you tune driveability and top speed to match track layout and surface grip.

Yes, the 7075-T6 aluminium and hard coat make it robust enough for regular racing, but inspect teeth periodically for wear on abrasive surfaces.
Lower tooth counts favour acceleration and better exit speed, while higher counts increase top speed. Use the 16T-21T range to fine tune for each circuit.
Aim for a snug mesh with minimal backlash. Use a pencil or gear mesh tool to mark contact and adjust motor position until the contact patch is correct, then secure the motor mount.
