This hardened steel wheel joint is specified for TRAXXAS X-MAXX 6s applications and is supplied as model STXM039/1. It is offered as an aftermarket replacement or targeted upgrade for front or rear wheel CVD positions where a steel component is required for altered stiffness and load response.
Engineering details: the CVD body thickness is 1.5mm, the shaft pin diameter is increased by 0.5mm relative to the original, and the outer diameter has been increased from 17mm to 18mm. Those dimensional changes modify stress distribution at the hub and are intended to assist torque transmission under heavy load without altering basic mounting interfaces.
Installation notes: the part is sold as 1 pcs and fits front or rear wheel locations on X-MAXX platforms configured for 6s. During installation confirm hub hex engagement and axial alignment of the driveshaft; the thicker pin and larger OD can require small shim adjustments or minor clearance checks to maintain intended geometry and avoid binding.
Application guidance: use this joint when seeking a steel-based replacement to tune end-of-driveline stiffness, load path, and power delivery characteristics while retaining compatibility with standard X-MAXX wheel interfaces.
