CSO RX8 hard coated aluminium pulleys

CSO have produced a full set of pulleys for the new Xray RX8 1/8th scale on road chassis. All pulleys are made from high quality 7075 T6 aluminium and then hard coated, with the side disc featuring holes for reducing weight but also allowing debris to exit from the teeth. There is a 24T front one-way pulley, 18T middle shaft inside pulley, 29T front side pulley, 18T rear side pulley and a 20T brake disc holder pulley. The 18T middle shaft inside pulley is different from the original in that it can be fixed on the updated CSO steel shaft by set screw instead of e-clip for quick and easy replacement.
