Engineered for TRAXXAS Slash 4x4 Low-CG application, this upgrade combines a fixed gear adapter and motor heatsink mount to stiffen motor position and enhance heat conduction away from the motor housing. Critical components are CNC machined from 6061-T6 aluminium for dimensional stability and thermal transfer under dynamic load.
The component uses five indexed positions marked A, B, C, D, and E to vary pinion-to-spur engagement. Changing index positions provides fine control over gear mesh to reduce binding or excessive backlash without altering gearbox spacing or spur geometry.
Included items in the original kit are listed below so you can verify contents before installation:
Installation guidance: select the index that achieves optimal mesh, then torque fasteners incrementally and evenly to maintain motor alignment. The heatsink mount interfaces between the motor face and chassis mounts to increase thermal contact area and provide a more rigid metal mounting solution versus polymer parts.
Performance role: intended as a precision aftermarket tuning part to improve repeatability of gear setups and to support passive cooling under rigorous use or when swapping higher power motors.
