This is an aluminium wheel hex designed for TRAXXAS 1/8 X-Maxx scale models, supplied as a set of 2 pcs for wheel retention and tuning tasks on large RC platforms. The 13mm thickness refers to the hex width that interfaces with wheel hubs and axles on the target chassis.
Use this wheel hex where a stiffer, heat-resistant hex alternative is preferred over softer materials. Installation typically replaces plastic hexes, seating the hex onto the axle hub and securing with the vehicle’s original wheel hardware. Check hub fit and thread engagement before full use to ensure safe retention during high-load runs.
For tuning, a thicker aluminium hex helps reduce deformation under load, which can stabilise wheel alignment and improve repeatability when adjusting suspension and wheel offset settings. Routine inspection for wear at the mating faces and fasteners is recommended as part of normal RC maintenance.
A straightforward aftermarket replacement for TRAXXAS 1/8 X-Maxx owners seeking aluminium hexes for stronger wheel retention and consistent tuning behavior.
