Overview
The ARRMA Dogbone 83MM (2) Z-AR310771 is an essential drivetrain spare part for RC enthusiasts across the UK who demand reliability and performance from their ARRMA RC models. These high-quality 83mm dog bone driveshafts are precision-engineered replacements designed to keep your RC car, buggy, or truck running smoothly on any surface. Whether you're a weekend basher enjoying off-road RC adventures, a competitive racer pushing your vehicle to the limit, or a dedicated collector maintaining a fleet of RC models, having quality spare driveshafts on hand is crucial to minimising downtime and keeping your RC hobby enjoyable.
Dog bone driveshafts are critical components in the drivetrain of any RC vehicle, responsible for transferring power from the motor and transmission directly to the wheels.

The ARRMA Dogbone 83MM represents a genuine OEM replacement part that restores your RC car to factory specifications and performance standards. Available at RC Model Shop, this pack includes two driveshafts, giving you the option to replace both sides simultaneously or keep a spare on hand for your next RC session.

The engineering and quality control that goes into every ARRMA spare part ensures that when you install these dogbone driveshafts, you're not compromising on performance, durability, or reliability. This is the kind of part that serious RC enthusiasts trust to keep their vehicles running at peak performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a dog bone driveshaft and why do I need it? — A dog bone driveshaft is a critical drivetrain component in RC vehicles that connects the transmission to the differential or wheel hubs, transferring engine power to the wheels. Dog bones are called this because of their distinctive shape. They're essential because they wear out over time through normal use, impacts, and aggressive driving, and need replacement to maintain optimal performance and reliability. If your driveshafts are broken or excessively worn, your RC vehicle will experience power loss, grinding noises, or complete drivetrain failure.
- Will these dog bones fit my ARRMA RC car? — The ARRMA Dogbone 83MM is designed specifically for ARRMA RC models that use 83mm driveshafts. To confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle, check your vehicle's manual or specifications. The model number Z-AR310771 is a genuine ARRMA replacement part, and these shafts replace the older AR310401 specification. If you're unsure about compatibility, our expert team at RC Model Shop can help you verify your vehicle's drivetrain configuration.
- How often should I replace my dog bone driveshafts? — The lifespan of driveshafts depends on your driving style, surface conditions, and maintenance practices. Aggressive bashing, repeated jumps, and collisions will cause faster wear than gentle driving. Many RC enthusiasts replace driveshafts when they notice grinding noises, excessive vibration, or visible cracks. Having spare driveshafts on hand—like this two-pack—means you can replace them quickly and minimise downtime when they do wear out.
- What makes ARRMA spare parts different from generic alternatives? — ARRMA spare parts are engineered and manufactured to the same exacting standards as the vehicles themselves, ensuring perfect compatibility, durability, and performance. Genuine ARRMA parts like the Dogbone 83MM use super-tough materials and high-quality pins that deliver superior longevity and smooth operation compared to aftermarket or counterfeit alternatives. Choosing genuine parts protects your investment in your RC vehicle and ensures reliable performance.
- Are these driveshafts compatible with racing and high-speed use? — Yes, the robust construction and high-quality materials make these driveshafts suitable for competitive racing and high-speed driving as well as recreational bashing. The smooth operation provided by the quality pins means these shafts can handle the demands of competition-level RC driving across the UK.
