High-strength CVD upgrade for Xmaxx owners

This set provides RC-scale replacement CVD components for Traxxas Xmaxx 8S when increased rotational speed and torque call for reinforced driveline parts. Hardened steel #45 is used for the main drive elements and joint profiles are revised to improve mechanical stability during fast running.

The kit replaces original dogbone components with thicker hardened steel pieces, changing the dogbone section from 5.5mm to 7mm as supplied, and modifies the CVD-to-hex connection to a stainless steel pin through a perforated joint rather than the factory fastening method. These measures are aimed at reducing runout and securing the wheel hex under heavy use.

Installation notes: alloy hex adapters are included and basic drivetrain disassembly will be required to swap front or rear CVDs. Keep tolerances tight and recheck hub to hex alignment after fitting to prevent premature wear on bearings and gears. This product is an aftermarket upgrade for hobby RC use.

Packing includes

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

Compatible Models

  • Traxxas Xmaxx 8S

The GPM TXM8170N/2 CVD set is a direct aftermarket choice for Traxxas Xmaxx 8S drivers who want a hardened steel upgrade and improved hex retention; follow routine checks after installation.

Do these shafts match OEM fitment?

They are designed as a direct aftermarket fit for Traxxas Xmaxx 8S front or rear positions; confirm hub and hex compatibility before fitting.

Is the material specification improved?

Yes, the use of hardened steel #45 and the increase in dogbone thickness help the assembly resist deformation and handle higher rpm loads.

Will I need to modify the chassis?

No chassis modification is expected; basic disassembly of the driveline is required to swap the existing CVDs for the upgraded set.

How often should I inspect the parts?

Regular inspections after high-speed sessions are recommended: check for play at joints, ensure set screws remain tight and verify the stainless pin is secure to extend service life.
