Engineering notes for the GPM wheel hex

The GPM TXM010/13MM wheel hex is a precision aluminium unit intended to strengthen the wheel to hub interface on the Traxxas X-Maxx 1/8. Its increased 13mm section improves contact stiffness and load distribution under impact and high torque conditions.

Design intent

This component is produced to provide a more rigid mounting point than standard plastic hexes, reducing radial and axial movement at the wheel flange. The result is more consistent wheel alignment and reduced wear on the mating surfaces during aggressive use.

Technical highlights

  • Material: High-quality aluminium for superior durability
  • Thickness: 13mm for enhanced stability
  • Compatibility: Specifically designed for Traxxas X-Maxx 1/8 scale
  • Package Includes: Set of 2 pieces

Compatible Models

  • Traxxas X-Maxx

What advantages does a thicker aluminium hex give in tuning?

A thicker aluminium hex reduces compliance at the wheel, improving steering precision and torque transfer. This makes handling more predictable when tuning suspension and tyre choices.

Are there fit checks to perform during installation?

Verify seating surfaces, clean hub faces, and confirm wheel nut torque. Inspect for clearance with wheel inner geometry before final run tests.

How does aluminium contact wear compare to plastic?

Aluminium typically resists deformation better than plastic under repeated loads, offering longer service life though it should be inspected after heavy impacts for surface damage.
