Traxxas 11-T Pinion Gear Module 1.0 Metric 5mm Shaft TRX6484X

Overview

The Traxxas 11-T Pinion Gear (1.0 metric pitch) Set is a precision replacement drivetrain component engineered to optimise performance and durability in high-powered RC monster trucks. This pinion gear is specifically designed for use with steel spur gears and features Module 1.0 metric pitch teeth, delivering superior strength and reliability compared to standard pitch alternatives. Whether you're a dedicated RC enthusiast looking to tune your X-Maxx or XRT for maximum efficiency, or you need a replacement gear after intensive bashing sessions, this Traxxas genuine part ensures your RC truck maintains peak performance and responsiveness on any terrain across the UK.

Traxxas has engineered the Module 1.0 gear tooth profile as the metric equivalent of 25.4 pitch—significantly larger and stronger than the 32-pitch gears found in many standard RC cars. This robust tooth design is essential for transmitting the massive torque output of modern brushless motors without stripping or failure. The 11-tooth configuration provides an ideal balance between acceleration and top speed, making it a popular choice for drivers seeking responsive handling without sacrificing outright velocity. If you're running a brushless RC car or truck and want genuine Traxxas quality, this pinion gear delivers the durability and precision you expect from a world-leading RC manufacturer.

RC Model Shop stocks this component as part of our comprehensive range of Traxxas spare parts and upgrades. With roots in the UK RC hobby community, we understand that reliable replacement parts are crucial to keeping your RC truck in the action. This pinion gear fits models including the X-Maxx Belted 4WD Brushless RTR, X-Maxx Ultimate, and XRT VXL-8S across multiple colours and configurations. Order with confidence, knowing you're getting genuine Traxxas specifications and UK-based customer support.

Key Features

• Module 1.0 Metric Pitch Teeth — The teeth on this pinion gear are sized using Module 1.0 metric specification, which is the metric equivalent of 25.4 pitch. This means the teeth are significantly larger and stronger than standard 32-pitch gears, providing superior strength and resistance to stripping under extreme torque loads. For anyone running high-output brushless motors in their RC truck or buggy, these larger teeth translate to longer component lifespan and more reliable acceleration.
• 11-Tooth Configuration — The 11-tooth design offers an optimised balance between acceleration response and top-end speed. This tooth count is popular among competitive drivers and weekend bashers alike because it allows full power delivery without over-revving the motor, whilst maintaining enough gear reduction to put the power down effectively on any surface.
• 5mm Shaft Bore — The pinion gear features a 5mm shaft bore, making it compatible with a wide range of Traxxas brushless RC models including the X-Maxx and XRT platforms. This standardised bore size ensures hassle-free installation and secure engagement with your vehicle's motor pinion shaft.
• Compatible with Steel Spur Gears — This pinion gear is specifically engineered to mesh perfectly with Traxxas steel spur gears, ensuring smooth power transmission and minimal wear. Steel gears throughout the drivetrain are a hallmark of Traxxas' extreme-duty engineering philosophy, particularly important in their flagship monster trucks where drivetrain components work harder than in any other RC vehicle type.
• Genuine Traxxas Engineering — As an original Traxxas part number TRX6484X, this pinion gear meets the manufacturer's exacting quality standards. It's manufactured to the same specifications as the gears supplied with new Traxxas vehicles, ensuring perfect compatibility and reliable performance run after run.
• Precision Machining — Traxxas pinion gears are precision-machined from high-quality steel to ensure consistent tooth profile and bore accuracy. This precision manufacturing is essential for smooth meshing with the spur gear and efficient power transmission without noise, vibration, or premature wear.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas 11-T Pinion Gear represents the engineering philosophy behind some of the world's toughest RC monster trucks. Monster trucks work their drivetrain components harder than any other type of RC vehicle, and Traxxas has engineered this pinion gear to handle that punishment reliably. The Module 1.0 metric pitch tooth design (equivalent to 25.4 pitch) is substantially stronger than standard 32-pitch gears found in many RC cars, making it essential for vehicles running brushless motors capable of 50+ mph and explosive acceleration. When paired with Traxxas' steel spur gears and utilising the Cush Drive elastomer cushion system (found in compatible spur gears), this pinion gear helps dissipate drivetrain shock loads during hard launches, jump landings, and the intermittent traction challenges of rough terrain. The 11-tooth configuration is optimised for vehicles like the X-Maxx and XRT, which carry high-output Velineon brushless motor systems and run dual LiPo batteries at extreme voltages. These platforms demand precision drivetrain components that can transfer massive torque and high RPM reliably, run after run. The 5mm bore ensures a secure fit on motor shafts without wobble or slippage, critical for maintaining efficient power transfer and preventing catastrophic failures during full-throttle acceleration. UK-based RC enthusiasts who push their vehicles hard in competitive racing or extreme bashing conditions will appreciate the durability and reliability this genuine Traxxas component delivers.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What Traxxas RC models are compatible with the 11-T pinion gear TRX6484X? — This pinion gear is compatible with the X-Maxx Belted 4WD Brushless RTR in all colours (Red, Green, Orange, Blue), the X-Maxx Ultimate variants, the XRT VXL-8S in all colour options, and the XRT Ultimate range. The 5mm shaft bore and Module 1.0 pitch make it a direct fit for these high-performance brushless monster trucks and extreme-duty RC platforms.
• Why is Module 1.0 metric pitch better than standard gears? — Module 1.0 is the metric equivalent of 25.4 pitch, which means the teeth are significantly larger and stronger than the 32-pitch gears found in most entry-level RC cars. Larger teeth provide greater resistance to stripping and breaking under extreme torque and impact loads. This is particularly important in high-speed brushless RC vehicles and monster trucks where drivetrain components are subjected to intense stress.
• Can I use this pinion with other RC brands? — Whilst this is a Traxxas part engineered specifically for Traxxas vehicles, some other 5mm bore pinions may physically fit. However, Traxxas recommends using genuine Traxxas components throughout the drivetrain to ensure optimal meshing, reliability, and performance. Mixing brands can lead to excessive wear, noise, and potential component failure.
• How often will I need to replace this pinion gear? — With proper maintenance and normal use, a Traxxas pinion gear should provide extended service life. However, aggressive racing, frequent impact landings, and sustained high-speed running will accelerate wear. If you notice noise, vibration, or loss of power transmission efficiency, it's time for replacement. Many UK RC racers keep spare pinion gears on hand for competition days.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — This is a replacement/upgrade component rather than a complete vehicle, so it's most suitable for drivers who already own a compatible Traxxas RC model and understand basic drivetrain maintenance. Beginners new to the RC hobby would typically start with a ready-to-run RTR vehicle and only need to consider pinion replacement after significant driving experience.
• What is the difference between 11-tooth and other pinion tooth counts? — Fewer teeth (like 10-tooth) provide more motor RPM to the wheels, resulting in higher top speed but potentially less acceleration feel. More teeth (like 12-tooth) provide more gear reduction, delivering quicker acceleration response and more control but slightly lower top speed. The 11-tooth is a balanced option that works well for most driving styles and conditions.
