Durable 55T steel spur for X-Maxx gearboxes

The TXM055TS is a 55-tooth steel spur offered as an aftermarket replacement for TRAXXAS 1/8 X-Maxx models. Its hardened construction is aimed at improving resistance to tooth chipping and wear in demanding, high-torque running conditions.

As the primary spur meshing with the pinion, correct backlash and secure fastening are vital. After fitting, manually rotate the drivetrain to ensure gears engage smoothly and recheck torque on the mounting hardware before powered testing.

Practical notes: switching to steel can make the drivetrain feel a touch heavier and louder compared with plastic, but it greatly enhances tooth durability under aggressive use. Consider revisiting pinion size and ESC cooling strategies after the change to keep components running safely.

Specifications

  • Item Spur gear 55T, 1 pcs
  • Material Steel
  • Model Number TXM055TS
  • Compatibility TRAXXAS 1/8 X-Maxx

Use this steel 55T spur for a robust replacement that preserves original fitment on the X-Maxx, and always confirm gear mesh and mounting torque when installing.

No special pinion is required for like-for-like replacement, but verify the mesh and consider pinion swaps only if you need a different gear ratio.
Yes, the hardened steel teeth improve resistance to chipping compared with plastic or softer alloys under high torque.
Set pinion so teeth interlock with a small clearance, tighten the spur mount, then spin the drivetrain by hand to confirm smooth, even engagement.
Steel can produce slightly more gear noise, which is normal; the trade-off is much improved durability for heavy use.
