Heavy-duty CVD upgrade for X-MAXX

This is an RC-scale replacement set of CVD (constant velocity drive) components designed for Traxxas Xmaxx 8S applications where higher rotational speed and torque demand stronger hardware. The kit uses hardened steel #45 for core drive elements and revised joints to improve mechanical stability at high rpm.

The package replaces original dogbone-style pieces with thicker hard-steel components, increasing the dogbone section from 5.5mm to 7mm as supplied, and reworks the CVD-to-hex interface to use a stainless steel pin through a perforated joint rather than the original fastening method. These changes focus on reducing runout and improving hex retention during aggressive throttle and high-speed operation.

Installation notes: the set includes alloy hex adapters and requires basic drivetrain disassembly to swap existing front or rear CVDs. Keep tolerances tight and confirm alignment with hubs and wheel hexes to avoid premature wear on bearings and gear interfaces. This is intended as an aftermarket upgrade for RC use only.

Packing includes

  • Hex Adapter - 4pcs
  • Stainless Steel Screw Shaft M5x4x20 - 4pcs
  • Set Screws 5x5 - 4pcs

Compatible Models

  • Traxxas Xmaxx 8S

This GPM TXM8170N/2 CVD set is a direct aftermarket option for Traxxas Xmaxx 8S owners seeking a hardened steel upgrade and a more secure alloy hex retention method; follow standard drivetrain checks when fitting.

Will these fit both front and rear of X-MAXX?

The product is listed for Traxxas Xmaxx 8S and is specified for front or rear use; match orientation and hub interface during installation.

What material improvements are made over stock?

The kit uses hardened steel #45 and increases the dogbone thickness from 5.5mm to 7mm to better handle high rotational speeds.

Are special tools required for installation?

Standard RC maintenance tools and a hex driver set are sufficient; ensure correct torque on set screws and confirm pin seating for the alloy hex.

How should I maintain these parts?

Periodic inspection for wear, checking set screw torque, and ensuring the stainless pin remains secure will extend component life under high-speed use.
