TRAXXAS X-MAXX 8S Harden Steel #45 Front/Rear Wheel Joints by GPM STXM8039  [STXM8039]

Hardened wheel joints for X-MAXX

This is an RC-scale replacement set of wheel joints designed for heavy-duty use on TRAXXAS X-MAXX 8S platforms. The parts serve as the connection between the axle case and the front or rear CVD, and are intended to reduce play and handle higher drivetrain loads on high-power brushless setups.

The joint body is produced at 1.5mm thickness and the shaft pin is 0.5mm thicker than the stock counterpart, while the outer diameter has been increased from 17mm to 18mm to improve power transfer to the driveline. These dimensional changes focus on mechanical durability and tighter fit in the CVD interface without altering vehicle geometry.

Installation notes: these joints replace the stock wheel joint where the driveshaft interfaces with the axle case and CVD; basic disassembly of the axle housing and CVD is required, and standard RC maintenance tools and thread locking practices apply. This item is sold as a 2pcs set to cover a single axle position.

Use these hardened #45 steel wheel joints when you need a direct, higher-load replacement for the X-MAXX CVD interface while keeping the original axle geometry.
