Ordered flishrc cobra. Communication was great. Ordered larger batteries but they were the wrong size. Olly shipped the right batteries and gave a refund for the difference I paid. Couldn't ask for more. Thanks for the help with the order.

The seller knew I was after one and very kindly informed me when they came back into stock so now have a Flywing Bell 206. Fantastic bit of kit. Well worth the wait.

About this product
Precision 17T steel pinion for X-Maxx drivetrains
This 17-tooth steel motor pinion is engineered as an aftermarket replacement for TRAXXAS X-Maxx 1/8 vehicles, intended to provide a hardened option for applications that demand improved pinion longevity. The following technical notes cover compatibility checks, installation procedure, and expected effects on gearing and motor load.
Fit and role: manufactured to suit X-Maxx platforms that require a 17T motor pinion, the steel construction reduces deformation and wear under repeated high torque events versus softer pinions, helping to maintain consistent gear engagement over time.
Installation notes: verify motor shaft diameter and seating method, remove contaminants from bore and shaft, and set precise mesh using a dedicated shim or paper technique. After initial fitting, perform a controlled low-load run, then re-torque the set screw to specification to maintain safe operation during heavy use.
Tuning impact: selecting the TXM017TS 17T pinion will shift acceleration and top speed characteristics relative to other sizes; this tooth count is chosen to balance torque delivery and RPM for many 1/8 X-Maxx configurations. Account for motor timing, ESC parameters, and spur tooth count when changing gear ratios to manage thermal and mechanical stress.
This item is compatible with
- TRAXXAS XMAXX
- TRAXXAS XO 01
What shaft tolerances are critical for fit?
Ensure shaft diameter tolerance within motor manufacturer specs and verify concentricity. A loose bore or eccentric shaft will accelerate wear and reduce mesh accuracy.
How does steel pinion hardness affect spur choice?
A harder steel pinion can increase wear on softer spurs; consider hardened spur materials or planned maintenance intervals when deploying in high-stress setups.
Recommended post-install checks for reliability?
After installation and break-in, re-check gear mesh, set screw torque, and inspect tooth profiles for uniform contact. Repeat inspections after several heavy sessions to detect early wear. Write Product Review Please sign in your account before you can write any review.
