Precision low-CG gear adapter for Slash 4X4 drivetrains
This aluminium adapter set pairs a reduced-height aluminium adapter with hardened steel 32-pitch gears, supplied as a 56T spur and 20T motor pinion. It is intended as an aftermarket drop-in drivetrain component for TRAXXAS SLASH 4X4 vehicles that utilise the 68086-21 layout.
Composition is aluminium for the adapter combined with hardened steel for the spur and pinion, maintaining the 32 pitch tooth form. The hardened steel components are specified to provide stable tooth engagement under load while the lower adapter profile brings the rotating gearset closer to the chassis centreline to reduce drivetrain height.
Ratio information: the supplied 56T spur paired with the 20T motor pinion generates a 1:2.800 final ratio. Alternative pinion sizes on a 56T spur yield these reference ratios: 13T=1:4.307, 14T=1:4.000, 15T=1:3.733, 16T=1:3.500, 17T=1:3.294, 18T=1:3.111, 19T=1:2.947.
Installation guidance: the adapter matches 32 pitch tooth geometry and the standard mounting points for the specified Slash 4X4 version. During assembly confirm correct motor mesh and backlash, secure the pinion to the motor shaft using the original fastening method, and verify spur alignment inside the gearbox to prevent premature wear.
The GPM SLA155620TLG delivers a low-CG aluminium adapter mated to hardened steel 32-pitch gears for TRAXXAS SLASH 4X4 using the 68086-21 layout, aimed at hobbyists seeking a lower drivetrain profile with standard 32-pitch compatibility.
