This 16-tooth pinion is supplied for the XRAY RX8 clutch and pinion arrangement by Arrowmax, catalogue number AM-RX8-348516. Constructed from 7075-T6 aluminium with a hard-coated finish, the unit balances low rotating mass with improved surface durability and is intended to mesh with RX8 spur gears.
Installation mirrors standard RX8 pinion replacement: remove the existing pinion from the motor or clutch shaft, place the new 16T at the correct engagement depth on the shaft, then secure using the original mounting hardware. Rotate the drivetrain by hand afterwards to confirm smooth operation before running the model.
For tuning purposes, the 16T selection provides an option for adjusting acceleration versus top speed; Arrowmax offers neighbouring tooth counts so competitors can make fine adjustments to match course demands or driving approach.
