Aftermarket driveshaft kit for X-MAXX 8S

The TXM8170B driveshaft assembly is an aftermarket replacement option designed for TRAXXAS X-MAXX platforms. It replaces front and rear dogbones/CVD links and combines 4140 medium carbon steel shafts with 7075 alloy hex adapters to improve stiffness and retention under hobby loads.

Key design details include a dogbone diameter increased to 7mm to resist bending on rough terrain and a hex adapter secured by a stainless steel pin through a perforated mount for better lateral stability compared with original fastenings. Parts are supplied pre-assembled and using thread locker on the set screws is recommended during installation.

Packing includes

  • Driveshaft - 2pcs
  • Hex Adapter - 2pcs
  • Set Screws 4x3 - 2pcs
  • Steel Pin 4x17.8 - 2pcs

Is the kit plug and play for X-MAXX 8S?

The components are supplied pre-assembled for direct replacement on compatible TRAXXAS X-MAXX models; verify model codes and use thread locker on set screws for security.

What improvements do the materials provide?

The 4140 shafts resist bending better than thinner stock parts and the 7075 hex adapters, with a pinned mount, improve lateral retention under load.

Which TF codes should I compare with my truck?

Compare the listed compatible model entries above to the codes on your TRAXXAS X-MAXX variant to confirm fitment before installation.

Any final installation advice?

Ensure pins are fully seated, apply medium-strength thread locker to set screws, and recheck fasteners after initial short runs to maintain stability.
