17T motor pinion for XRAY RX8 setups

The Arrowmax AM-RX8-348517 17T pinion gear is supplied as a motor pinion compatible with the XRAY RX8 chassis, machined from 7075 aluminium and treated with a hard coating to help reduce wear under standard on-road conditions.

As a 17-tooth option within a broader series, this pinion allows simple gear ratio adjustments; pairing different pinion tooth counts with the spur gear changes the drivetrain ratio and shifts the trade-off between acceleration and top speed. The lineup includes multiple tooth counts so model builders can experiment with gearing without altering other parts.

Practical notes: confirm correct mesh to the RX8 spur gear, set backlash to standard on-road settings, check alignment after initial runs, and replace the pinion if you notice visible tooth wear. The hard-coated 7075 material seeks to offer a compromise between light weight and enhanced wear resistance for routine motor gearing duties.

No. This is an Arrowmax aftermarket pinion compatible with the XRAY RX8 chassis, not an original equipment part from XRAY.
The hard coat improves tooth durability but will not prevent wear entirely; regular inspection and correct mesh are still recommended to prolong service life.
Swapping to a smaller pinion favours acceleration while a larger pinion raises top speed; swapping tooth counts is the standard method for tuning drivetrain behaviour on the RX8.
