This 14-tooth steel motor gear is produced for installation on TRAXXAS 1/8 X-Maxx platforms and is catalogued as TXM014TS. Supplied as a single unit, the component is intended to replace the motor-side pinion to alter gear ratios or replace worn parts.
Installation protocol: verify motor shaft diameter and securing method. Fit the pinion on the shaft, set an accurate tooth mesh with the spur gear, and fasten using the motor's original locking method. Perform a static mesh check then a controlled test run and recheck the mesh to confirm proper seating.
Tuning and thermal considerations: a 14T pinion reduces initial acceleration in favour of higher theoretical top speed versus larger pinions; monitor motor current draw and ESC temperature during break-in and tuning sessions to avoid thermal overload.
Materials and service life: constructed in steel to provide superior wear resistance compared with common brass options; inspect for tooth deformation, scoring, or abnormal wear after high-load or off-road operation and replace when wear criteria are met.
