GPM Racing Hardened Steel #45 Motor Gear 22T for Traxxas 1/10 MAXX (TXMS022TS)

Hardened motor gear specification for TRAXXAS MAXX

This TXMS022TS motor gear is produced from hardened steel #45 and is intended as an aftermarket replacement for TRAXXAS MAXX drivetrains. The component provides a hardened contact surface for pinion engagement and is supplied with a 4x4 set screw to secure axial position on the motor shaft.

During installation confirm tooth count, axial alignment and backlash, and locate the 4x4 set screw onto the motor shaft flat or keyway prior to final torque. The #45 hardened material focuses on surface wear endurance at the gear interface, preserving motor and ESC calibration while extending service life under high-load operation.

This item is compatible with

• TRAXXAS-1/10 MAXX MONSTER TRUCK-89076-4

What inspection checks should be done after fitting?

Verify radial and axial play, confirm proper mesh pattern using gear marking compound, and ensure the set screw is seated on the shaft flat without inducing runout.

How does #45 hardening affect gear performance?

Hardened #45 increases surface hardness to reduce abrasive wear at the contact patch while maintaining core toughness to resist fracture under shock loading.

Can this gear be used with high-power brushless setups?

Yes, provided the pinion and gearbox are rated for the motor output; hardened gear material improves contact durability under elevated torque. Write Product Review Please sign in your account before you can write any review. Sign In Close
