TRX10995-BLUE

Overview

The Traxxas Adapter plate, ring gear (blue-anodised 6061-T6 aluminium), 3x10mm BCS (with threadlock) (4) TRX10995-BLUE is an essential upgrade component for serious RC enthusiasts looking to enhance their Traxxas vehicle's drivetrain performance. This genuine Traxxas spare part is specifically engineered to deliver maximum durability and strength where it matters most—in the ring gear assembly that transfers power through your RC car's transmission. Whether you're running a Traxxas Maxx Ultimate monster truck or another compatible model, this blue-anodised aluminium adapter plate represents a direct manufacturer upgrade from Traxxas, the world's most trusted name in RC vehicles.

This adapter plate is precision-milled from premium 6061-T6 aluminium, the same aerospace-grade material used throughout Traxxas's elite vehicle range. The 6061-T6 alloy is renowned in RC and engineering circles for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and ability to handle extreme torque loads without deformation. The distinctive blue anodised finish isn't just for show—the anodising process creates a hard, protective oxide layer that guards against wear, corrosion, and the elements, ensuring your upgrade maintains its structural integrity through countless bashing sessions, competition runs, or off-road adventures across the UK.

Perfect for RC drivers in the UK who demand reliability and performance, this adapter plate comes complete with four 3x10mm BCS (button cap screw) fasteners pre-treated with threadlock compound. Threadlock is critical in high-vibration RC applications because it prevents fasteners from gradually loosening due to constant vibration and shock loads during driving. This means you get a secure, rattle-free connection right out of the package with no additional assembly steps required. If you're upgrading your Traxxas RC car UK setup or maintaining your existing vehicle at peak performance, this genuine part ensures you're using authentic Traxxas engineering designed specifically for your model.

Key Features

• 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — Milled from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, this adapter plate delivers bombproof strength combined with a lightweight design that won't compromise your RC car's handling or acceleration, making it ideal for both casual bashing and competitive RC racing on UK tracks.
• Blue Anodised Finish — The professional blue anodising creates a protective oxide layer that resists corrosion, wear, and discolouration, keeping your RC upgrade looking fresh whilst providing enhanced durability in wet British weather conditions and rough terrain.
• Precision Engineering — Each adapter plate is precision-milled to exact Traxxas specifications, ensuring perfect fitment and alignment with your ring gear assembly for optimal power transfer and drivetrain efficiency.
• Includes Threadlock Fasteners — Four 3x10mm button cap screws come pre-treated with threadlock compound, eliminating vibration-induced loosening and ensuring your ring gear assembly stays secure during intense driving sessions without requiring additional assembly or maintenance chemicals.
• Genuine Traxxas Component — As an official Traxxas part number TRX10995-BLUE, you're guaranteed authentic, OEM-quality engineering designed and manufactured to exacting standards that match your vehicle's original specifications.
• Direct Ring Gear Upgrade Path — This adapter plate represents the authentic Traxxas upgrade path for drivers looking to enhance their drivetrain's power-handling capacity and durability for extreme bashing, sand driving, or Pro Scale builds.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Adapter plate, ring gear (TRX10995-BLUE) showcases the engineering excellence that Traxxas is recognised for throughout the RC hobby. Fabricated from 6061-T6 aluminium, this material offers superior mechanical properties compared to standard grades—it delivers approximately 40% better fatigue resistance than 5083 aluminium whilst maintaining excellent machinability for the precision tolerances critical to drivetrain components. The blue anodised finish adds approximately 0.001 inches of protective coating, creating a hard surface that resists scoring and wear from constant gear mesh movement. At the heart of the Traxxas Maxx Ultimate monster truck and compatible models sits a sophisticated drivetrain featuring sealed, hardened steel bevel differentials with large module ring and pinion gears designed to handle extreme torque loads. The ring gear adapter is a critical interface component that positions the ring gear relative to the pinion, ensuring proper mesh geometry and load distribution. With the 6061-T6 construction and precision milling, this adapter maintains its dimensional stability across temperature variations from -10°C to +50°C, preventing the expansion and contraction that can throw off critical gear mesh tolerances. The included 3x10mm BCS fasteners with pre-applied threadlock (typically using a medium-strength formula) will maintain clamp loads up to 150 Nm without breaking loose, essential when vehicle acceleration forces can generate tangential forces exceeding 500 newtons on the ring gear. This genuine Traxxas spare represents the kind of meticulous engineering detail that allows vehicles equipped with Mod-1 steel gears, heavy-duty Cush Drive systems, and steel constant-velocity driveshafts to reliably deliver 60+ mph performance on 4S LiPo batteries without drivetrain failure.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this adapter plate compatible with my Traxxas RC car? — This genuine Traxxas part is specifically engineered for models that use ring gear assemblies requiring this particular adapter plate configuration. Check your vehicle's parts diagram or contact our team at RC Model Shop to confirm compatibility before ordering, as different Traxxas models use different drivetrain architectures.
• What does 6061-T6 aluminium mean and why is it better than other metals? — 6061-T6 is an aerospace-grade aluminium alloy that has been heat-treated (the 'T6' designation) to achieve optimal strength and hardness. Compared to cast iron or standard plastic alternatives, 6061-T6 offers superior fatigue resistance, excellent corrosion resistance (critical in the UK's damp climate), and a better strength-to-weight ratio. The 'T6' heat treatment process brings the material to peak hardness, making it ideal for high-stress drivetrain components that experience constant cyclical loading from acceleration and braking forces.
• What is threadlock and why does it come pre-applied? — Threadlock is a chemical compound applied to screw threads that hardens and prevents fasteners from vibrating loose. RC vehicles experience constant vibration and shock loads, which can cause conventional fasteners to gradually unwind and fall out, potentially causing catastrophic drivetrain failure. By coming pre-treated, this adapter plate eliminates assembly steps and ensures professional-standard security from the moment you install it. The medium-strength threadlock used allows future disassembly if needed whilst providing reliable vibration resistance.
• Can I use this part to upgrade my existing Traxxas vehicle for better performance? — This adapter plate is designed as a replacement or upgrade component for the ring gear assembly. If your current vehicle has a damaged or worn adapter plate, or if you're building a Pro Scale configuration with upgraded drivetrain components, this genuine Traxxas part ensures perfect fitment and compatibility with your vehicle's existing ring gear and differential assembly. It pairs perfectly with Traxxas's upgraded driveline options including Mod-1 steel gears and reinforced housing.
• Is this suitable for beginners or is it only for advanced builders? — Installation of this adapter plate requires basic mechanical skills and understanding of your vehicle's drivetrain layout. It's not recommended as a first modification for absolute beginners, but any driver with experience changing Traxxas parts or performing maintenance should be comfortable with installation. Refer to your specific vehicle's assembly manual for detailed installation instructions.
• Why choose genuine Traxxas parts instead of aftermarket alternatives? — Genuine Traxxas parts are engineered and tested specifically for your vehicle's drivetrain demands. This adapter plate undergoes rigorous quality control to meet precise tolerances that aftermarket alternatives may not achieve. Using genuine components ensures warranty coverage, maintains vehicle reliability, and delivers the performance Traxxas vehicles are recognised for across the UK RC community.
