This aluminium hex adapter is an aftermarket 1/18 scale part for the TRAXXAS LaTrax SST platform that increases wheel offset by +1mm each side. It is supplied for hobby RC use and assists with small, controlled track-width changes that affect handling and cornering balance.
What it changes: the adapter moves the wheel mounting point outward by +1mm, offering a modest but repeatable track-width increase useful during setup sessions or when adjusting for different tyre profiles. Compared with many plastic hexes, the aluminium option provides greater stiffness to help keep wheel alignment under load during short-course and on-road running.
Fitment notes: this is a direct-fit component for LaTrax SST 1/18 hubs and is supplied as a 2 pcs set. The usual fitment sequence is to remove the wheel, swap the stock hex for the +1mm adapter, then refit using the original wheel hardware. Always confirm proper thread engagement and check wheel runout after installation.
Tuning guidance: use these adapters to make subtle, repeatable lateral adjustments while testing tyre and suspension changes to fine-tune corner entry and mid-corner stability on technical tracks.
