Technical Brief

The TXM355517T assembly comprises a CNC-friendly aluminium gear adapter paired with a hardened 55T steel spur and a 17T steel motor gear for TRAXXAS 1/8 X-Maxx platforms. The design intent is to provide a stable motor-to-spur interface where the aluminium adapter eases alignment and the steel spur resists surface wear under load.

Application use cases include replacing worn gear sets, experimenting with predetermined gear ratios, and restoring optimal mesh after gearbox maintenance. Installers should confirm spline compatibility and set minimal backlash to maintain bearing alignment and reduce lateral loads.

Service notes: after initial installation run a short break-in cycle, inspect tooth contact patterns, check for metal particulates, and re-torque fasteners to recommended values to ensure long term durability.

Specifications

  • Item: Aluminium gear adapter with 55T steel spur and 17T motor gear, 1 set
  • Material: Aluminium adapter, steel spur, steel motor gear
  • Model Number: TXM355517T
  • Compatibility: TRAXXAS 1/8 X-Maxx

Engineers and technicians will find this kit suitable for routine drivetrain servicing, offering improved contact durability at the main spur interface.

Perform a visual inspection for even tooth engagement, check for metal shavings, verify bearing alignment and confirm that backlash remains within acceptable limits for your setup.
The aluminium adapter provides a stable seating surface that helps maintain consistent pinion positioning, reducing the risk of misalignment-induced bearing loads when installed and torqued correctly.
A light application of gear-appropriate grease on contact faces is recommended; avoid over-application that can attract debris and monitor wear during break-in.
For high torque systems, verify gear tooth profile for signs of accelerated wear, ensure motor mount rigidity to prevent deflection, and consider using hardened mounting hardware to maintain mesh under load.
