This aluminium hex adapter is an aftermarket 1/18 scale component compatible with TRAXXAS LaTrax SST hubs, engineered to add +1mm wheel offset per side. It is intended for hobby RC applications and provides a consistent method to alter track width for setup comparisons.
Design notes: the adapter relocates the wheel mounting interface outward by +1mm, yielding a modest change in lateral track. The aluminium construction improves stiffness over many stock plastic hexes, aiding alignment retention under dynamic load during short-course and on-road operation.
Assembly guidance: the part is a direct-fit for LaTrax SST 1/18 hubs and is supplied as a 2 pcs set. Typical installation steps are to remove the wheel, exchange the existing hex for the +1mm adapter, then refit using the vehicle's original hardware. Verify correct thread engagement, wheel clearance and runout before use.
Application in setup: use these adapters for repeatable lateral adjustments when evaluating tyre selection and suspension settings to refine corner entry and mid-corner stability on compact courses.
