Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some XRAY items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

Can this pinion be used with standard XCA clutchbells?

Yes, the XRAY 348518 is compatible with XCA clutchbells in both their standard and lightweight forms.

Does the hardcoat affect gear noise?

The hardcoat primarily improves wear resistance; precise tooth profiling is the main factor in reducing gear noise and vibration.

What maintenance is recommended?

Regularly check tooth faces for chipping or burrs and ensure mesh is correct. Clean debris after offroad use to prolong the hardcoat's effectiveness.

Are there recommended gear combinations to try first?

Start with gear ratios commonly used at your local track and adjust one tooth at a time; the consistent manufacture of XRAY 348518 makes tuning changes easier to evaluate.

How do I identify the 18T marking?

The tooth count is etched on the gear surface, so look for the 18T marking when checking your parts bin or preparing spares.
