Overview
The Hot Racing 54T Aluminum Spur Gear is a lightweight, race-tuned 32-pitch (0.8 module) spur gear designed as a direct fit for Traxxas slipper-clutch transmissions found in the Jato 3.3, Rally VXL, Slash 4x4, Stampede 4x4, and T-Maxx 3.3. CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and hard-anodized in a clean light gunmetal finish, this spur gear delivers a noticeable weight reduction over the stock plastic spur — reducing drivetrain inertia for sharper acceleration and braking response.
For racers and bashers seeking a meaningful drivetrain weight reduction without sacrificing strength, this aluminum spur is one of the smartest tuning upgrades on the market.
Key Features
- CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum construction
- Hard-anodized light gunmetal finish
- 32 pitch / 0.8 module
- 54 teeth
- Direct fit for Traxxas slipper-clutch transmissions
Performance Benefits
- Lighter than stock plastic for reduced drivetrain inertia
- Sharper acceleration and braking response
- Long-lasting hard-anodized finish
- Consistent gear mesh quality across the gear's life
Usage Notes
For slipper-clutch transmission vehicles only — not compatible with center-differential transmissions. Verify gear mesh after installation; there should be a small amount of backlash with no binding. Pair with a quality steel pinion gear; aluminum-on-aluminum gear pairing is not recommended.
