Precision CNC-style hardened wheel joints

This pair of wheel joints is engineered for TRAXXAS X-MAXX 8S platforms where improved mechanical strength is required. The components connect the axle case to the front or rear CVD, designed to reduce axial and radial slack and manage higher torque from advanced brushless systems.

Manufacturing details: the joint body wall measures 1.5mm and the shaft pin diameter is increased by 0.5mm compared to the OEM item, while the outer diameter is enlarged from 17mm to 18mm to optimise torque transfer. These dimensional updates focus on precision fit, fatigue resistance and consistent interface geometry with the original axle assembly.

Installation considerations: replacement requires axle housing and CVD disassembly. Use standard RC workshop tools, ensure correct engagement and apply thread locking where appropriate. The product is supplied as a 2pcs set, suitable for one axle location.

Packing includes

  • WHEEL JOINTS - 2pcs

Compatible Models

  • TRAXXAS 1/5 4WD X-MAXX 8S MONSTER TRUCK-77086-4
  • TRAXXAS 1/6 4WD XRT 8S-78086-4

Specified for users seeking a direct, higher-load replacement for X-MAXX CVD joints while maintaining factory axle geometry and consistent fitment.

What material and hardness are these joints made from?

These are hardened steel #45 joints produced to improve wear resistance and load capacity compared with soft stock components.

How do the dimensional changes affect service life?

Thicker walls and a larger pin diameter reduce local stress and deformation, extending service life under high torque conditions.

Are these drop-in replacements for the OEM joints?

Yes, they are designed to mate with the original CVD interface dimensions so no vehicle geometry changes are required; follow standard assembly practices to ensure correct engagement.

What inspection or maintenance is recommended after fitting?

Check for smooth rotation, confirm there is no binding, inspect pin retention, and re-torque fasteners after a short run-in period; periodic inspection under heavy use is advised.
