This 10-piece upgrade suits TRAXXAS X-MAXX 8S models needing tougher outer CVD pieces and stiffer, lighter wheel hexes. Hardened #45 steel reinforces the joint contact areas while 6061-T6 aluminum hexes keep mass low without sacrificing strength.
Shipment contents are shown for verification prior to fitment: CVD joint - 2 pcs, Wheel Hub Hex - 2 pcs, 3.5 steel pin - 2 pcs, Set screws 5x5 - 2 pcs, M5*4*20 screw pin - 2 pcs. These replace the outer shaft sections of the CVD assembly as described in the part location.
Fitment notes: replace the outer shaft CVD pieces, check for correct socket seating and axial play during assembly, torque set screws to the recommended values for the X-MAXX hub arrangement, and check pin retention after a short test session. Confirm the hex spline matches your wheel adapters.
Service and setup: moving joint wear areas to hardened #45 steel helps longevity under heavy 8S loads. The 6061-T6 hexes are chosen to balance wheel stiffness with reduced rotating inertia. Regular inspection of pins and screws is advised after high-stress use.
The kit is aimed at X-MAXX 8S builders who want harder contact surfaces at the joints while keeping aluminium hexes to limit rotating mass and retain handling balance.
