TRAXXAS X-Maxx 1/8 Gear Adapter and 53T/18T Steel Set TXM355318T by GPM  [TXM355318T]

Technical overview of the TXM355318T aluminium adapter and steel gearset

The TXM355318T assembly is a precision upgrade offering an aluminium motor-to-gearbox adapter mated to a hardened 53T steel spur and an 18T steel motor gear, delivered as a 1-set aftermarket replacement for TRAXXAS X-Maxx 1/8 platforms. The machined adapter ensures concentric motor mounting and a rigid transfer path into the gearbox, improving load distribution across the gear teeth during high torque events.

Adapter options include multiple anodised finishes; gears are supplied in black. The package supports a range of tooth combinations for setup tuning, with recommended pairings listed as TXM355315T, 16T, 17T, 18T, TXM355416T, TXM355418T, TXM355515T and TXM355517T. Confirm tooth counts, module and centre spacing before final installation to achieve consistent gear mesh and to avoid side loading.

For performance-focused builders, the TXM355318T delivers a durable metal interface and hardened gearset for ratio tuning and improved longevity; verify fitment for TRAXXAS X-Maxx 1/8 and follow proper backlash and run-in procedures.
