Technical Performance
The Traxxas Mount, spur gear (fixed) TRX10988 is engineered to withstand the demands of high-performance electric RC cars, particularly the powerful 8S LiPo-powered Funco Motorsports Pro Scale 2WD Sand Car platform. The fixed mount design ensures that your spur gear maintains perfect mesh alignment with the pinion gear, which is absolutely critical for efficient power transmission and preventing costly drivetrain damage. In the context of the Funco Motorsports platform, which delivers substantial performance through 8S brushless power delivery, having a secure, properly-aligned spur gear mount is essential for maintaining consistent acceleration, deceleration, and overall drivability. The precision-engineered mount minimises backlash and gear rattle, both common issues that can develop with worn or damaged mounting components. When the spur gear mount begins to deteriorate, you'll notice increased drivetrain noise, potential loss of power delivery, and accelerated wear on both the spur gear and pinion gear teeth. This genuine Traxxas part restores your transmission to factory specifications, ensuring your RC car performs as the engineers intended.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a spur gear mount and why do I need to replace it? — The spur gear mount holds your RC car's spur gear in fixed alignment with the pinion gear. Over time, the mount can wear, crack, or become misaligned due to impacts, hard landings, or general wear from use. A damaged mount causes poor gear mesh, leading to drivetrain noise, slipping, and accelerated gear wear. Replacing it restores your transmission to proper working condition and prevents further damage to your gears.
- Which Traxxas models does this mount fit? — The Traxxas Mount TRX10988 is compatible with the Traxxas Funco Motorsports Pro Scale 8S 2WD Electric Sand Car, available in Orange, Green, Red, and Blue colour variants. Always verify your model number before purchasing to ensure compatibility.
- Is this a genuine Traxxas part? — Yes, this is a genuine Traxxas OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part, manufactured to the exact specifications used in your RC car from the factory. Using genuine parts ensures perfect fitment and maintains your vehicle's performance and warranty coverage.
- How difficult is it to install this mount? — Installation difficulty depends on your mechanical skill level and familiarity with your specific RC model. We recommend consulting your Traxxas instruction manual or online guides specific to your model for step-by-step installation instructions. If you're unsure, our team at RC Model Shop can provide guidance or installation support.
- What should I do if my spur gear keeps slipping or making noise? — If your spur gear is slipping or your transmission is making grinding or rattling noises, a worn or damaged spur gear mount could be the cause. Replacing this mount should resolve the issue and restore proper power transmission. However, also inspect your spur gear and pinion gear for wear or damage whilst you have the transmission apart.
- Can I use aftermarket mounts instead of this Traxxas part? — Whilst aftermarket alternatives may be cheaper, genuine Traxxas parts are engineered and tested specifically for your model and offer superior fitment, durability, and performance. For the best results and reliability, we recommend using genuine Traxxas components.
