Technical Performance

The Traxxas Driveshaft assembly, Front, extreme heavy duty represents the pinnacle of Traxxas's composite driveshaft engineering for 1/10 scale 4WD vehicles. Built with a 6mm axle and extreme HD U-joint construction, this component adds extra material to critical areas throughout the assembly, significantly increasing strength and durability compared to standard driveshaft options. The engineering focuses on the high-stress zones where driveshafts typically fail during intense bashings or competitive racing, making this component ideal for drivers who push their RC trucks hard. The extreme HD specification positions this driveshaft as Traxxas's most rugged composite shaft offering, carefully engineered to combine the affordability of composite construction with the durability typically associated with premium alternatives. For drivers requiring even greater power handling and ultimate strength for high-power applications, Traxxas also offers steel driveshaft alternatives, though the extreme HD composite version provides an excellent balance of cost, weight, and performance. The pre-assembled design with integrated screw pin ensures you receive a fully functional component ready for immediate installation into your 9080-series upgrade kit equipped vehicle, with no additional assembly, tuning, or modifications required.

• Can I use this with standard Traxxas suspension? — No, these driveshafts are specifically designed for use with the 9080-series upgrade kit only and will not fit standard suspension parts, so ensure your vehicle is equipped with the extreme heavy-duty upgrade kit before purchasing.
• Is the TRX6851A suitable for beginners? — This component is a spare part replacement rather than a complete vehicle, so it is most suitable for owners of compatible Traxxas 4WD models who need to replace or upgrade their driveshaft assembly, rather than for RC beginners purchasing their first vehicle.
