The SLA035 is a CNC-friendly alloy adaptor supplied as a matched 2pc kit for TRAXXAS 1/10 Slash 4x4. It serves as a locating sleeve and support surface for slipper shaft bearings, designed to improve concentricity between the slipper assembly and driven gears.
The adaptor replaces or supplements the factory spacer, creating a consistent bearing seat that reduces lateral play and aids repeatable setup. Alloy construction helps maintain tolerances under typical hobby loads, while the two-piece configuration ensures both sides of the slipper assembly are supported.
Fitment procedure is standard: disassemble the slipper unit to access the shaft, inspect bearing inner diameter and shaft runout, install the adaptor and verify free rotation and correct gear mesh prior to final assembly. Minor positional adjustments may be required to optimise preload and clearance.
For tuning purposes the part assists in controlled testing of slipper preload, identification of drivetrain backlash sources, and when trialling alternative bearing types during setup or competition preparation.
