8mm Titanium CVs

• The ultimate lightweight high strength combination for your lightweight racer.
• CV shaft, Axle and Hex are all Titanium
• Half the weight of steel
• 2 grams lighter than the stock plastic it replaces!
• 8mm Axle in Titanium is twice the strength of the steel 6mm axles and is lighter to boot.
• Won't rust - EVER.
• Barrel, pins and drive cups are interchangeable with steel versions.

Life, strength and wear

• Due to the unique properties of Titanium we strongly reccomond that you run these with a bootie & grease with regular service intervals.
• While this is the premium grade of Titanium, the steel we use is stronger & has better wear characteristics and therefore steel is more suitable to high torque applications like big blocks and high torque brushless. Titanium is simply not as strong as the steels we use in CVs.

Requires:

• Unlimited Engineering Ø16mm version Bearing knuckles. (all suspensions made since 5-1-03 have been Ø16mm)
• Eight 8x16x5 Bearings. We carry ABEC1 and ABEC5 both with rubber seals in this size.
• 10mm socket or nut driver (some wheels do not have much clearance and you will need to turn the socket down a little)
• Std Maxx wheel hole is Ø6mm, however repeated tightenings of the nut may 'squish' this down a little, it may be necessary to open the hole back up to Ø6mm.

UE CVDS Features:

• Designed to take the horsepower of today's high powered .21 engines.
• Designed to be long enough to double nut. If you've ever had a wheel come off in a race, you know how great a feature this is.
• These constant velocity style shafts are made for the extended width of the RacerX, EXT or WideTrac™ Suspension.
• EXT version is a direct fit for the new 2.5 Maxx (Traxxas WideMaxx Suspension)
• Stock width suspension CVDS are also available
• We've redesigned the axles to remove the weak area caused by the dowel pin. We made several based on the stock design but were totally unsatisfied with testing of it's strength. Then I started looking at my stock and aftermarket axles and found them all to be bent. To eliminate the weak area caused by the through hole for the dowel pin we've created a special 14mm wheel hex and keyed it to the axle. The design is 10x stronger. We've used materials that are 3x stronger than the stock material. Under severe testing the axles are still straight.
• Titanium CV shaft for super strength and light weight. Also available in Steel for a lower cost. Weight difference is 8-10 grams each.
• Hardened steel axle, drive cup and hex nut for long life and the ultimate in strength
• Heavy duty dowel pins.
• Sold in Pairs, two pairs required per truck
• Also available without drive cups for those of you with our 7.5 differential system which already includes drive cups - two less parts you don't need, save you a few bucks.

Note: requires wheels with Traxxas standard 14mm hex mounting.
