This aluminium hex adapter is an aftermarket 1/18 scale accessory for the TRAXXAS LaTrax SST platform, sized to add +1mm to wheel offset per side. It is intended for RC use only and helps with small track-width adjustments that influence handling and cornering balance.
Functionally the adapter moves the wheel mounting point outward by +1mm, a modest change useful when comparing handling setups or compensating for tyre profile differences. As a metal replacement for many stock plastic hexes, it offers increased stiffness to keep alignment under load during short-course or on-road running.
Installation notes: this is a direct-fit component for LaTrax SST 1/18 hubs, supplied as a 2 pcs set. Typical fitting is to remove the wheel assembly, swap the existing wheel hex for the +1mm adapter, then refit the wheel with the vehicle's original fasteners. Verify thread engagement and clearance before driving and check wheel runout after installation.
Tuning role: install these adapters when you want a small, repeatable lateral change to evaluate handling trade-offs. Use alongside tyre selection and suspension tweaks to refine corner entry and mid-corner stability on short-course circuits.
