Built for vintage RC durability and service life

Crafted from HUDY Gear Steel, the XRAY 358526 16T Clutch Bell is machined to withstand the demands of vintage RC competition. The hardened steel construction gives consistent wear resistance so racers can count on steady performance over many events.

Oversize bearings for tougher duty cycles

This clutch bell uses oversized 5x12x4mm ball-bearings instead of the common 5x10mm type. With thicker inner walls and larger 2.0mm balls, these bearings improve load capacity and lower the chance of failure during extended runs.

Thermal processing and high-temp lubrication

The part receives a controlled heat treatment to boost hardness and fatigue resistance. Bearings are pre-lubricated with a high-temperature grease to keep rotation smooth at race RPMs and reduce wear under heat stress.

Multiple tooth counts for tuning

The XRAY clutch bells come in a range of tooth counts: 15T, 16T, 17T, and 18T, allowing straightforward tuning of gear ratio to match track layout and motor characteristics.
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.

How do the oversized bearings improve reliability on long runs?

The bigger 5x12x4mm bearings have thicker race walls and larger 2.0mm balls, which spread loads more effectively and resist deformation during prolonged high-speed use. This reduces heat buildup and the chance of bearing failure.

Will this clutch bell fit classic XB series gearboxes?

Yes, the XRAY 358526 is produced to work with older XB-series vintage components where the 16T bell is required, but always check shaft fit and clearances before assembly.

What benefit does the heat treatment provide?

Heat treatment increases the steel hardness and fatigue resistance, helping the clutch bell resist wear and retain its profile under repeated high-RPM stress.

How should I maintain the bearings between events?

Inspect bearings for play or grit, clean with a suitable solvent if contaminated, and relubricate with a high-temperature racing grease to preserve smooth operation.
