Technical Performance
The RCO Aluminium Hex Drive set represents a thoughtful engineering approach to one of the most critical drivetrain components in any RC vehicle. Manufactured from aluminium rather than plastic, these hex drives provide superior strength and durability while maintaining a lightweight profile essential for optimal performance in a compact model like the Traxxas Mini Maxx BL-2S. The Mini Maxx is a brushless, 2-cell LiPo-powered off-road RC vehicle, and the drivetrain components must withstand consistent power delivery and the demands of both carpet and outdoor terrain. The hex drive is the mechanical interface that transfers rotational power from the central drive shaft to each wheel hub, making it critical to overall drivetrain efficiency and reliability. Aluminium construction ensures these components resist wear and damage far better than standard plastic alternatives, particularly important in models that see frequent use or aggressive driving. The blue anodised finish not only provides aesthetic appeal but also offers a degree of corrosion resistance. With four pieces in each pack, users have complete flexibility to replace all four hex drives simultaneously, ensuring balanced performance across all corners of the model, or to keep spares readily available for maintenance and repair.
