TRAXXAS X-MAXX 8S Hardened Outer CVDs and Alloy Hex Set TXM8170N/JT by GPM  [TXM8170N/JT]

This 10-piece upgrade suits TRAXXAS X-MAXX 8S owners wanting increased durability at the outer CVD joints and a lightweight, stiff wheel hex. The design uses hardened #45 steel at the joint contact zones while providing 6061-T6 aluminium hexes to keep mass under control and maintain strength.

Supplied components are listed here so you can check parts before fitting: CVD joint - 2 pcs, Wheel Hub Hex - 2 pcs, 3.5 steel pin - 2 pcs, Set screws 5x5 - 2 pcs, M5*4*20 screw pin - 2 pcs. The items are intended for the outer shaft positions of the CVD assemblies as stated in the part location.

Fitment guidance: these components replace the outer shaft CVD sections; inspect axial play and socket fit during assembly, tighten set screws to the recommended X-MAXX hub torque, and confirm pin retention after a brief test run. Ensure spline compatibility of the aluminium hexes with your wheels before final assembly.

Setup and care: upgrading joint surfaces to #45 hardened steel improves wear resistance under heavy 8S loads. The 6061-T6 hexes help reduce rotating mass while preserving predictable wheel response. Regular checks of pins and set screws are advised following demanding runs.
