This GPM aftermarket hex adapter is a scale RC part designed for the TAMIYA T3-01 DANCING RIDER platform and functions as the interface between the rear axle and the wheel. Manufactured from T6 aluminum, the adapter replaces the stock hex with a standardized 12mm profile to reduce play between the wheel hub and hex.
Key technical details from the supplied information: the adapter body is made of high tensile T6 aluminum, the hex thickness is 8.5mm, and the part is specified as +1mm thicker than the original hex to widen the rear track. A set of stainless steel flat head screws (2.5x16) and washers are included to secure the assembly.
Practical role in setup and tuning: increasing hex thickness and narrowing the gap to the wheel helps stabilize the rear axle under cornering load, and the 12mm standard profile makes wheel seating more consistent across replacement wheels. Use this adapter when the goal is a small rear track increase and firmer wheel retention without changing the hub or axle geometry.
Installation notes: the adapter connects directly to the rear axle and wheel using the provided stainless steel screws and washers; verify fitment on the T3-01 hub and confirm screw torque to avoid deformation of the aluminum hex or thread stripping on lightweight axles.
