This CNC-friendly aluminium rear spur gear cover mount is specified for the TRAXXAS 1/10 Rustler VXL platform and is intended to increase chassis rigidity around the spur gear area. It secures the bearing train and maintains consistent alignment between the main shaft and motor plate to reduce deflection under load and improve gear rotation stability.
Manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminium, the part provides high tensile strength at low mass compared with polymer covers. The package includes stainless steel fasteners and the mount features accurately located bearing seats and a hollowed profile that reduces unnecessary weight while keeping structural ribs where strength is needed.
Installation follows a technical but familiar process: remove the factory cover, transfer bearings if required, verify bearing seat tolerances, align the mount to the chassis datum points and torque the supplied screws to recommended values. This component is intended for hobby-grade 1/10 scale RC use only and is not suitable for any full-size vehicle applications.
Designed for precision hobbyists, this mount offers a CNC-friendly aluminium upgrade to stabilise the spur gear area and maintain drivetrain geometry for repeatable performance.
