This aluminium hex adapter is an aftermarket accessory for the TRAXXAS LaTrax SST 1/18, engineered to add +1mm wheel offset per side. It is intended solely for RC hobby use and provides a simple, repeatable method to alter track width and handling balance.
Performance note: shifting the wheel mounting point outward by +1mm creates a modest change in track width that helps when comparing handling variations or compensating for tyre changes. The aluminium construction offers a firmer mounting than many stock plastic hexes, improving alignment stability under load for short-course or on-road use.
Installation: the adapter fits directly to LaTrax SST 1/18 hubs and is sold as a 2 pcs set. Standard installation is to remove the wheel, replace the original hex with the +1mm adapter, then reattach the wheel with the vehicle's original hardware. Confirm thread engagement, wheel clearance and runout prior to driving.
Use in setup: add these adapters when you need a small, precise lateral adjustment as part of suspension and tyre tuning to refine corner entry and mid-corner feel on tighter circuits.
