This aluminium wheel hex pair is an aftermarket component for TRAXXAS 1/8 X-Maxx vehicles, supplied to match standard wheel mounting arrangements. The 10mm thickness is specified to increase engagement on hubs and provide improved lateral support for the wheel assembly.
Suited to hobbyists seeking a firmer wheel-hub junction, these hexes are fitted with a hex driver and common hand tools to replace factory parts. During installation inspect wheel alignment and axle clearance, and apply standard torque to retention fasteners while checking wheel runout before full-power runs.
In practical use the aluminium hex raises stiffness at the wheel-hub interface compared with some composite options, which can affect how drivetrain and suspension loads are transmitted during acceleration and cornering. Evaluate its impact alongside your wheel, tyre, and gearing choices and adjust spacers or suspension settings as required.
Recommended where a stiffer wheel-to-hub interface is desired for X-Maxx applications; confirm fit and clearances before extended operation.
