TRAXXAS MAXX Monster Truck 18T Harden Steel Motor Gear by GPM TXMS018TS  [TXMS018TS]

Motor gear for TRAXXAS MAXX

This hardened steel #45 motor gear is an RC-scale replacement part engineered to interface with the motor output on TRAXXAS MAXX monster truck models. It transfers rotational torque from the motor to the drivetrain, maintaining mesh between the motor pinion and the mating gear under load.

The component's role is primarily mechanical: secure it to the motor shaft, set the gear mesh to safe clearance, and confirm the set screw is tightened to retain position. The steel construction is noted in the source material for increased wear resistance compared with softer materials, which can support more consistent gear engagement during tuning and normal RC running.

Installation notes: clean mating surfaces, align teeth for even contact across the face width, and perform an initial run at low throttle to verify smooth rotation and absence of binding before full operation.
