Precision-engineered CVD set for X-MAXX 8S

This 8-piece CVD drive set is produced as an aftermarket upgrade for Traxxas X-Maxx operating on 8S. Core drive components are CNC-friendly hardened steel #45 to provide enhanced wear characteristics under sustained high rotational speeds.

Mechanical updates include an enlarged dogbone cross section increased from 5.5mm to 7mm and a revised hex coupling that employs a perforated alloy hex secured by a stainless steel pin. The configuration improves centring under torque and reduces relative motion between the CVD and hex during high-speed operation.

Supplier documented items included are Hex Adapter - 2 pcs, Stainless Steel Screw Shaft M5x4x20 - 2 pcs, Set Screws 5x5 - 2 pcs, with manual numbers 7750, 7737, 7756. Functionally, the assembly transfers gearbox output to wheel hubs to maintain consistent wheel rotation at elevated RPMs.

Recommended when upgrading drivetrain robustness on an X-Maxx 8S; verify correct pin engagement and hex seating during installation and validate with a controlled test run.

What are the key material choices and their purpose?

Hardened steel #45 is chosen for its wear resistance and fatigue properties in rotating applications, while stainless steel pins provide corrosion-resistant retention for the alloy hex coupling.

How does the increased dogbone diameter affect fitment?

The dogbone diameter increases torsional stiffness and load capacity; confirm hub and axle clearances since the section grows from 5.5mm to 7mm compared with many stock components.

Which parts are critical to inspect after assembly?

Inspect the perforated alloy hex alignment, ensure the stainless pin is fully driven and verify there is no axial or radial play before performing dynamic tests.

Are torque or run-in procedures recommended?

Apply correct fastening torque to associated hardware, perform an initial low-speed run to detect any issues, and recheck retention elements after a short break-in period.
