TRAXXAS SLASH 4X4 LOW-CG Aluminium Gear Adapter with 32 Pitch Steel 54T Spur and 18T Pinion by GPM SLA155418TLG  [SLA155418TLG]

Aluminium adapter with hardened steel gears

This is an RC-scale gear adapter and gear set designed for the TRAXXAS Slash 4X4 low-CG platform for the 68086-21 version. The package pairs an aluminium low-CG gear adapter with hardened steel 32-pitch spur and pinion gears to provide a more consistent transfer of motor torque to the drivetrain without implying any real vehicle use.

Materials and mechanical role: the adapter is aluminium for reduced weight and a lower centre of gravity at the gearbox interface, while the spur and pinion are hardened steel to resist wear under repeated load cycles. The 32-pitch sizing matches the Slash 4X4 transmission standard for this version.

Installation and tuning notes: check gear mesh and backlash after fitting the adapter and gears, confirm pinion set screw engagement, and verify there is no binding on the motor shaft or spur carrier. Small mesh adjustments and attention to bearing condition will affect noise and drivetrain efficiency. This component is intended for standard RC assembly procedures and tuning practices for 1/10 scale electric buggies/trucks.

Gear ratios

• 54T with 15T = 1:3.600
• 54T with 16T = 1:3.375
• 54T with 17T = 1:3.176
• 54T with 18T = 1:3.000
• 54T with 19T = 1:2.842
• 54T with 20T = 1:2.700

Use this aluminium adapter with hardened steel 32-pitch gears when you need a lower centre of gravity at the gearbox and steel gearing for longer wear life and steadier power delivery on the Slash 4X4 low-CG 68086-21 platform.
