Overview
The ARRMA CVD Rebuild Set (2) is an essential maintenance component for owners of high-performance ARRMA RC vehicles across the UK. Whether you're running a brushless RC monster truck, buggy, or street bash machine, this rebuild set provides the critical replacement parts needed to keep your drivetrain in peak condition. Constant velocity drive systems are one of the most heavily stressed components in any RC car, and having quality replacement parts on hand ensures you can quickly get back to the action without extended downtime.
This super-tough CVD rebuild set has been engineered specifically for ARRMA's range of 1/7 and 1/8 scale ready-to-run RC vehicles, delivering the precision engineering and durability you'd expect from one of the world's leading RC manufacturers. If you're a weekend basher, a serious competitor, or someone who simply enjoys pushing their RC car to the limit, investing in genuine ARRMA spare parts like this rebuild set is a smart decision that will extend the life of your vehicle and maintain its performance on all surfaces.
Compatible with a massive range of ARRMA models—from the legendary Kraton and Typhon speed trucks to the Notorious and Outcast stunt trucks, the Infraction and Felony all-road bashers, and the high-speed Limitless and Mojave models—this rebuild set represents excellent value for money. Rather than replacing an entire CVD assembly when wear occurs, this kit lets you service and refresh the critical internal components, making it a cost-effective choice for serious RC enthusiasts in the UK.
Key Features
- Precision Manufactured CVD Barrels — The CVD barrels included in this set are precision engineered to deliver smooth and consistent performance across all surfaces, whether you're bashing on grass, tarmac, gravel or dirt. This level of manufacturing precision ensures that your drivetrain maintains optimal power delivery and minimal vibration, translating to better handling and more predictable vehicle behaviour during high-speed runs and aggressive cornering.
- Super-Tough CVD Pins — The CVD pins supplied in this rebuild set (2.5 x 14.8mm) are engineered for long-lasting durability, capable of withstanding the extreme forces generated during acceleration, deceleration and power transmission. These pins are critical components that connect the barrel sections, and their superior toughness means fewer replacements needed over time, saving you money and keeping your RC vehicle ready for action more consistently.
- Complete Rebuild Solution — Rather than replacing entire CVD assemblies, this rebuild set provides the exact internal components needed to service your existing CVD units, making it an economical choice for maintenance and repair. By replacing just the worn parts, you maintain the quality and fit of your original assemblies whilst restoring performance to like-new condition.
- Factory Authentic Parts — These are genuine ARRMA original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts, meaning they're manufactured to the exact same specifications and quality standards as the CVDs that came with your vehicle from the factory. Using authentic replacement parts ensures compatibility, fit and performance.
- Multi-Model Compatibility — This single rebuild set is compatible with a wide range of ARRMA 1/7 and 1/8 scale models, including the BIG ROCK, FELONY, FIRETEAM, INFRACTION, LIMITLESS, MOJAVE, KRATON, NOTORIOUS, OUTCAST, TALION and TYPHON, making it a versatile addition to your spare parts collection.
Technical Performance
The CVD system in modern brushless RC vehicles operates under extreme stress, transmitting power from the motor and gearbox to the wheels whilst accommodating suspension movement and drivetrain geometry changes. The precision-manufactured barrels in this rebuild set are engineered to minimise binding and ensure smooth power delivery across the full range of suspension articulation, whether you're tackling the demands of high-speed street bash driving, aggressive off-road bashing, or competitive racing. The CVD pins specified at 2.5 x 14.8mm are sized to provide optimal load distribution and durability under the intense forces generated by modern brushless motors (particularly the 6S and 8S LiPo-powered models in the ARRMA range). The materials and manufacturing processes used in these components ensure they maintain their integrity through thousands of drive cycles, resisting the wear patterns that develop from constant acceleration, deceleration, and directional changes. For owners of 1/8 scale speed trucks like the Kraton and Typhon, or 1/7 scale high-speed bashers like the LIMITLESS and MOJAVE, having quality CVD rebuild components available means you can maintain peak drivetrain performance without the expense and hassle of replacing complete assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions
- When should I rebuild my CVD units? — CVD units should be serviced when you notice signs of wear such as clicking sounds from the drivetrain, reduced smoothness in acceleration, or visible wear on the barrels and pins. Regular maintenance intervals depend on driving conditions and intensity, but serious bashers and racers typically rebuild their CVDs every 10-20 hours of driving. If you're running your RC vehicle hard on rough terrain or pushing high speeds consistently, more frequent servicing will keep your drivetrain in optimal condition.
- Is this suitable for all ARRMA vehicles? — No, this rebuild set is specifically designed for ARRMA 1/7 and 1/8 scale vehicles. The compatibility list includes models such as the BIG ROCK, FELONY, FIRETEAM, INFRACTION, LIMITLESS, MOJAVE, KRATON, NOTORIOUS, OUTCAST, TALION and TYPHON. Before purchasing, verify that your specific model appears on the compatibility list to ensure proper fitment and performance.
- What is the difference between a rebuild set and a complete CVD assembly? — A rebuild set contains only the internal service parts (barrels and pins) needed to refresh existing CVD assemblies, whereas a complete CVD assembly includes the outer housing and all internal components. Rebuild sets are significantly more affordable and perfect for routine maintenance when the outer housing is still in good condition. If your CVD housings are cracked or severely damaged, you'll need to replace the entire assembly rather than just rebuilding it.
- How difficult is it to rebuild a CVD unit? — CVD rebuilds are moderately straightforward for anyone with basic RC mechanical experience. You'll need to disassemble the existing CVD unit, clean all the parts, remove the worn barrel and pins, install the new parts from this rebuild set, apply appropriate CV grease, and reassemble. If you're new to RC maintenance, consider watching manufacturer tutorial videos or consulting your vehicle's instruction manual for step-by-step guidance.
- What grease should I use when rebuilding? — When rebuilding your CVD units, always use quality CV grease specifically formulated for RC vehicles. Most ARRMA vehicles come with appropriate grease, but if you need to purchase additional supplies, look for RC-specific constant velocity joint grease from manufacturers like Traxxas, Hobbywing or other recognised RC brands. Never use automotive CV grease, as it may not provide the correct viscosity and protection for RC applications.
- Are these the same parts that come with new ARRMA vehicles? — Yes, these are genuine ARRMA original equipment parts manufactured to the exact same specifications as those supplied with new ARRMA ready-to-run RC vehicles, ensuring authenticity and quality.
