TRAXXAS X-MAXX Hardened Steel #45 CVD and Wheel Shaft 4pcs by GPM TXM812160S  [TXM812160S]

Hardened #45 CVD for X-MAXX

This 4pcs set replaces the factory constant velocity drives (CVD) and wheel shafts with hardened steel #45 components sized for TRAXXAS X‑MAXX use. The kit is intended for RC-scale drivetrain upgrades where stock CVDs are prone to wear under higher-voltage setups. Materials and geometry changes focus on durability and consistent torque transfer rather than cosmetic changes.

The design details supplied by the source include a body that is 1.5mm thicker than the original and a shaft pin that is 0.5mm thicker, with an increased outer diameter on the inner wheel joint compared to stock. The components are finished in a modern black and produced from hardened steel to reduce bending and premature failure when running higher-output battery and motor combinations.

Installation is a direct swap of the shaft joints and wheel shafts, suitable for either front or rear use; basic disassembly of the wheel hub and CVD retainer is required. On vehicles upgraded to 6s or 8s power, these parts serve as a tuning-stage replacement to reduce drivetrain maintenance intervals and to maintain consistent power transfer under load.

Use this set when upgrading a TRAXXAS X‑MAXX to higher-voltage operation or when replacing fatigued stock CVDs to restore reliable drivetrain behavior.
