Overview
Eliminate stub-axle and wheel-hex failures on your Traxxas X-Maxx 6S/8S with the Hot Racing Hardened Steel Stub Axle and Aluminum 24mm Hex Set. This complete bolt-on upgrade replaces the factory aluminum stub axles and plastic wheel hexes with hardened steel axles and CNC aluminum hexes — a serious durability boost for one of the X-Maxx's known weak points.
The hardened 1045 steel stub axles are finished in black oxide for corrosion protection, while the blue-anodized aluminum hexes maintain the stock 24mm hex profile so your existing wheels and tires bolt right back on. A clean, complete drivetrain refresh in a single set.

Performance Benefits

Usage Notes
Apply medium thread-locker on the M5x5mm setscrews to lock the drive pins in place. Re-check torque after the first run as new clamping interfaces will settle slightly.
