Hardened CVD upgrade for X-MAXX 8S

The 8-piece CVD drive set is designed as an aftermarket reinforcement for Traxxas X-Maxx running on 8S power systems. Components use hardened steel #45 to withstand increased rotational speeds and reduce component wear over time.

Key design updates include a larger dogbone diameter raised from the usual 5.5mm to 7mm and a revised hex retention that uses a perforated alloy hex secured by a stainless steel pin. These changes aim to keep the hex aligned under heavy load and to minimise slippage between joint interfaces during high-speed operation.

Items supplied according to the vendor are listed as Hex Adapter - 2 pcs, Stainless Steel Screw Shaft M5x4x20 - 2 pcs, Set Screws 5x5 - 2 pcs, with manual numbers 7750, 7737, 7756 for reference. The assembly transmits torque from the gearbox to the wheels to maintain stable wheel and tyre rotation.

Compatible Models

  • Traxxas Xmaxx 8S

This set is suitable when reinforcing drivetrain parts on an X-Maxx 8S; confirm the pin-secured alloy hex is properly installed and checked before extended running.

Will these CVDs reduce driveline failures?

They are intended to increase durability by using harder steel and stronger retention, but correct fitment and maintenance remain important to avoid failures.

Are the dogbones a direct swap for stock parts?

The dogbone section is thicker at 7mm versus the standard 5.5mm, so check hub and axle clearances before installation to ensure compatibility.

What hardware is included in the kit?

Included hardware noted by the supplier is Hex Adapter x2, Stainless Steel Screw Shaft M5x4x20 x2, Set Screws 5x5 x2, and referenced manuals 7750, 7737, 7756.

Best practice when fitting the pin-secured hex?

Align the perforation to the hex bore, insert the stainless pin fully, then verify there is no axial or rotational play before sealing and running the model at reduced speed first.
