TRAXXAS X-MAXX #45 Hardened Steel Front/Rear Wheel Joint for 6s by GPM STXM039/1  [STXM039/1]

This is an RC-scale hardened steel wheel joint designed for TRAXXAS X-MAXX 6s applications, supplied by GPM as model STXM039/1. The part serves as a direct replacement or tuned upgrade for front or rear wheel CVDs where steel components are preferred over stock materials.

Key construction details from the part description: the CVD body measures 1.5mm thick, the shaft pin is manufactured 0.5mm thicker than the original, and the outer diameter has been increased from 17mm to 18mm. These dimensional changes are intended to alter load distribution at the hub and assist power transfer under high-load RC driving.

Installation and tuning notes: the piece is presented as a single unit sold as 1 pcs and is used in the front or rear wheel location on X-MAXX platforms configured for 6s operation. When replacing a stock joint, verify fit at the hub hex and check driveshaft alignment; small dimensional differences (shaft pin thickness and outer diameter) can affect clearance and may require minor trimming of surrounding components or exchange of hub shims to restore intended geometry.

Practical role: this joint is a replacement/tuning option for builders seeking a steel-based component to change stiffness and load behavior at the wheel end, useful when adjusting drivetrain feel or preparing a truck for heavier loads within RC-scale use.
