The TXM8160S is an aftermarket hardened steel CVD set developed for TRAXXAS X-MAXX applications where increased torque and higher-voltage operation demand stronger driveline components. The black hardened finish and enlarged body section improve section modulus to resist bending under load.
Critical dimensional data supplied with the product: body thickness is increased by 1.5mm relative to the original, the shaft pin diameter is larger by 0.5mm, the fixed assembly length measures 160mm, and the design utilises a 4.0mm pin. The set comprises two pieces intended for front and rear installation and is rated for 8s operation only.
From an engineering perspective these CVDs reduce torsional compliance and minimise endplay that can compromise throttle linearity and steering precision in boosted X-MAXX builds. Inspect mating interfaces and retention hardware during installation to ensure correct seating and long-term reliability.
Use the TXM8160S where increased driveline stiffness and improved pin retention are required for high-power X-MAXX configurations; verify fitment details and torque settings during assembly.
