This aluminium hex adapter is an aftermarket 1/18 scale accessory produced by GPM for the TRAXXAS LaTrax SST platform, sized to add +1mm to wheel offset per side. It is intended for RC use only and supports small adjustments to track width that affect handling and cornering balance.
What it does: the adapter shifts the wheel mounting point outward by +1mm, giving a modest change in track width useful when testing handling differences or compensating for tyre/profile changes. As an aluminium part it offers a stiffer alternative to many stock plastic hexes, helping maintain alignment under load during short-course or on-road running.
Installation notes: this is a direct-fit part for LaTrax SST 1/18 hubs, supplied as a 2 pcs set. Typical installation workflow is to remove the wheel assembly, replace the existing wheel hex with the +1mm adapter, then reinstall the wheel using the vehicle's original fastening hardware. Confirm thread engagement and clearance before running, and check wheel runout after installation.
Tuning role: use these adapters when you want a small, repeatable change to lateral track for evaluating handling trade-offs. Combine with tyre choice and suspension adjustments to dial-in corner entry and mid-corner stability on short-course layouts.
