GPM Racing Hardened Steel+Aluminum Front/Rear Adjustable CVD Drive Shaft+Hex Adapter+Wheel Lock-14pcs Set for Traxxas 1/10 MAXX (TXMS123F/RB)

Technical overview of the adjustable CVD assembly

This 12 piece aftermarket assembly is engineered as a direct-fit upgrade for TRAXXAS MAXX MONSTER TRUCK drivetrains, prioritising mechanical durability and setup flexibility. The unit replaces a cross-head style joint with a CVD swing joint to improve angular load transmission while maintaining existing drivetrain geometry.

Materials and geometry: a hardened steel joint is combined with a 6061 T6 aluminium body and the axle diameter has been increased from 6mm to 8mm to raise torsional capacity. The adjustable components permit fine tuning of suspension linkage behaviour and toe change under load. Compatible 8x16x5 bearings are supplied to match the revised shaft diameter.

Service and installation: intended as a drop-in where CVD interfaces are specified for MAXX models. Install using supplied bearings and fasteners, observe correct set screw torque, and verify unhindered rotation through full suspension travel before operational use.

What should I inspect before final assembly?

Check bearing seating, verify axial play is within tolerance, ensure set screws are installed and torqued to spec, and confirm the CVD pivots move freely through travel.

Are any chassis mods required to accept the 8mm axle?

No chassis modifications are intended; this kit includes the compatible bearings and hardware to accept the larger axle as a drop-in for MAXX CVD applications.

How does the adjustable geometry affect handling?

Small changes to the CVD link positions will influence toe and drive-induced steering, allowing setup shifts toward stability or quicker turn-in depending on preference.

What maintenance is recommended?

Regularly inspect set screw torque, check bearings for play or wear, and lubricate pivots as part of routine service to maintain reliable performance. Write Product Review Please sign in your account before you can write any review. Sign In Close
