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

Precision hardened #45 drives for X-MAXX

This 4pcs assembly replaces factory constant velocity drives and wheel shafts with CNC-friendly hardened steel #45 components sized for TRAXXAS X-MAXX duty cycles. The kit targets improved fatigue resistance for high-voltage installations where stock CVD geometry can deform under repeated load. Material selection and revised geometry prioritise consistent torque transmission rather than cosmetic changes.

Critical dimensional updates from the source include a body wall thicker by 1.5mm and a shaft pin enlarged by 0.5mm, together with an increased outer diameter on the inner wheel joint versus OEM. The black finish complements the hardened steel construction which reduces shaft bending and lowers the chance of premature failure when paired with higher-output battery and motor systems.

Fitment is a direct swap of the joint bodies and wheel shafts for front or rear positions; standard removal of the wheel hub and CVD retainer is required. On vehicles upgraded to 6s or 8s power, these components provide a tuning-stage replacement to reduce maintenance cycles and maintain predictable power transfer under peak load.

Recommended for builders seeking a hardened steel upgrade to restore reliable drivetrain geometry and reduce bending in TRAXXAS X-MAXX high-voltage conversions.
