TRAXXAS MAXX Front/Rear Adjustable CVD Drive Shaft Kit TXMS143F/RS by GPM  [TXMS143F/RS]

Technical overview of the CVD assembly

Designed specifically for TRAXXAS MAXX platforms fitted with +20mm widening hubs, this aftermarket driveset replaces cross-head outputs with adjustable CVD swing joints to reduce driveline lash and improve torque transmission while using a 6061 T6 aluminium centre body mated to hardened steel joint components for durability and controlled mass.

The upgrade increases axle diameter from 6mm to 8mm to resist torsional deflection under load, and the adjustable shaft length permits accurate suspension geometry correction following track width increases. Bearing sizes are revised to 8x16x5 and are supplied in the package to ensure proper clearance and preload with the thicker shafts.

Functionally, the kit manages torque transfer from gearbox to wheels on MAXX builds widened by +20mm and provides the adjustability needed to restore wheel alignment and suspension stance after conversion.

For hobbyists upgrading widened TRAXXAS MAXX drivetrains, this kit delivers hardened CVDs and a machined aluminium centre with increased axle diameter; during installation confirm bearing seating and ensure free rotation through full suspension travel.
