This reinforced aluminium wheel hex is intended for TRAXXAS 1/8 X-Maxx models and comes as 2 pcs to support secure wheel retention and fine-tuning on larger RC vehicles. The 13mm figure denotes the hex width that interfaces with hub faces and axle ends on the compatible chassis.
The aluminium construction provides a firmer, more heat-tolerant option compared with softer stock hex materials. Installation typically swaps out the plastic hex, sliding the aluminium hex onto the axle hub and fixing it with the vehicle's original wheel hardware. Always verify fit and thread engagement prior to heavy-duty running.
Using a thicker hex lowers the chance of deformation under stress, which helps keep wheel alignment consistent and improves repeatability during suspension or offset adjustments. Check mating surfaces and fasteners periodically as part of routine upkeep.
A simple aftermarket upgrade for TRAXXAS 1/8 X-Maxx drivers wanting stiffer wheel interfaces and steadier tuning feedback.
