GPM Racing Hardened Steel+Aluminum Front/Rear Adjustable CVD Drive Shaft+Aluminum 7075-T6 Hex Adapter+Wheel Lock +Stainless Steel Adjustable Front Steering Tie Rod (Suitable For+20mm Widening Kit) " for

Precision CVD drive assembly for MAXX

This technical upgrade replaces front and rear CVD drive shafts on 1/10 TRAXXAS MAXX truck platforms with a hardened-steel joint and aluminium body assembly optimised for drivetrain stiffness and longevity. The conversion increases axle diameter from 6mm to 8mm and combines hardened mating components with 7075-T6 alloy adapters to improve load distribution while limiting added mass.

Supplied as a service-grade kit for performance-oriented maintenance, the package includes adjustable tie rods for alignment control, machined 7075-T6 hex adapters and wheel locks for positive wheel retention, and bearings and pins sized for the thicker axle. Installation requires standard hobby tools and routine driveline access for front or rear replacement.

Provided as a direct-fit aftermarket drivetrain solution for Traxxas MAXX platforms, the kit focuses on improving axle stiffness and joint durability for demanding hobby use.

What are the key material choices in this kit?

The design uses hardened steel for the joint interfaces and 7075-T6 aluminium for hex adapters and wheel locks to balance wear resistance and weight savings.

How does the 8mm axle affect driveline stiffness?

Increasing axle diameter reduces bending deflection under load, improving torque transfer and reducing joint stress, provided bearings and hubs accept the larger diameter.

Are the supplied bearings precision grade?

The kit includes 8x16x5 bearings specified to suit the upgraded axle; for high-precision applications select bearings with tighter tolerance ratings from your preferred supplier.

Do I need to modify hubs or carriers?

No permanent modifications are typically required; verify hub and carrier clearances during a preliminary fit and adjust as necessary to accommodate the 8mm axle and supplied bearings. Write Product Review Please sign in your account before you can write any review. Sign In Close
