Key Features
- 24mm Hex Interface — This industry-standard hex connection is the exact specification required by Traxxas X-Maxx 1/5 scale monster trucks, ensuring a precise fit that transmits power reliably from your drive shafts to your wheels without slipping or damage.
- 19mm Thickness Design — The 19mm thick profile is engineered to provide optimal spacing between your wheel hubs and the truck chassis, preventing rubbing whilst maintaining proper geometry for stability and handling during high-speed driving and aggressive cornering.
- Four-Piece Pack — This set includes four adaptors, which is the perfect quantity for a complete X-Maxx wheel set (front and rear pairs), or for maintaining spare wheel assemblies for backup at the track or field.
- Durable Plastic Construction — Manufactured from tough engineering-grade plastic, these adaptors deliver reliable performance whilst remaining lightweight, helping to reduce unsprung weight compared to metal alternatives.
- Method RC Quality — As genuine Method RC components, these adaptors are manufactured to strict quality standards and backed by the manufacturer's warranty, giving you confidence in every purchase.
Technical Performance
The Method RC MTDHS002 adaptors represent a critical interface between your X-Maxx's drive system and your 1/5 scale tyres. Built from premium plastic material, these hubs are engineered to withstand the enormous torque loads generated by brushless motors and high-powered battery systems that define modern 1/5 scale bashers and racers. The 24mm hex specification is universally recognised as the standard for large-scale Traxxas vehicles, including the X-Maxx range, ensuring universal compatibility across different wheel and tyre combinations within the 1/5 scale category. The 19mm thickness has been carefully calculated to provide the optimal clearance between the wheel face and the truck chassis, preventing contact with suspension components or mud flaps whilst maintaining the correct scrub radius and steering geometry. These adaptors are supplied as a complete set of four, which covers all four wheels of your X-Maxx for a seamless upgrade or replacement. Whether you're running stock Traxxas tyres or aftermarket 1/5 scale options from premium manufacturers, the MTDHS002 adaptors will provide a secure, wobble-free connection that translates every ounce of your motor's power directly to the ground.
