Technical Performance
The Traxxas gear cover is engineered from 6061-T6 aluminium, a premium aerospace-grade alloy chosen specifically for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. This material selection ensures that your Maxx or Maxx Slash's transmission components receive robust protection without adding significant weight to your vehicle. The anodised finish creates a hard oxide layer on the aluminium surface, providing superior durability and resistance to corrosion from moisture, salt, and dirt exposure—critical considerations for RC enthusiasts in the UK who regularly expose their vehicles to damp conditions and challenging terrain. The machining process creates precise tolerances that ensure perfect fitment with your truck's existing components, with no gaps or misalignments that could compromise protection or aesthetics. The brilliant green anodised coating is applied to exacting standards, creating a vibrant colour finish that resists fading even with extensive outdoor use and UV exposure. This gear cover is specifically designed for the Traxxas Maxx and Maxx Slash 1/8 scale 4WD brushless short course trucks, making it an ideal upgrade for owners of these vehicles who want to enhance both protection and appearance simultaneously.
