Aftermarket 18T pinion for XRAY RX8

The Arrowmax AM-RX8-348518 18T pinion is an aftermarket motor pinion designed to be compatible with the XRAY RX8 chassis. It is produced from 7075-T6 aluminium and treated with a hard coating to deliver a low weight gear with enhanced surface wear resistance where RX8-compatible pinions are appropriate.

Changing the pinion alters the final drive ratio and lets you tune motor load without replacing the spur gear. The hard-coated 7075 alloy provides reduced rotating mass while aiming to resist surface wear, and the tooth profile is intended to mate cleanly with RX8 spur gears when the mesh is correctly set.

Arrowmax supplies this part across a range of tooth counts including 16T to 21T so you can select fine increments in gearing. When installing on an RX8, check shaft sizing and inspect mesh under full suspension travel and steering input to avoid undue wear.

The AM-RX8-348518 18T is intended for RX8 use, but you should confirm motor shaft diameter and coupler style before fitting.
Check mesh after the initial run and periodically during use, especially if you run on abrasive tracks, to catch wear early.
Selecting a lower tooth count increases acceleration while a higher count favours top speed; the Arrowmax 16T to 21T options let you tune to your driving style.
