This CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum hex adapter is an aftermarket reinforcement for TRAXXAS Rustler VXL hubs, engineered to increase hex thickness by 2mm and shift wheel mounting externally. The design focuses on precision fit, repeatable indexing and improved lateral support without excessive weight penalty.
The adapter seats between wheel and hub and uses axial retaining pins to maintain wheel indexing under load. Material selection and machining tolerances are chosen to resist deformation under impact while delivering consistent drive engagement for racing or heavy recreational use.
Installation requires basic workshop tools: remove the wheel, position the hex adapter on the hub, align the axle bore and secure with the supplied 2x11 pins. Confirm wheel clearance and alignment post-fitment as part of standard setup procedures.
