The ARRMA CVD Wheel Axle represents quality engineering that RC enthusiasts have come to expect from ARRMA, one of the leading manufacturers of ready to run RC cars and competitive RC racing vehicles in the UK and globally.
This pack contains two CVD wheel axles, making it ideal for those who need to replace worn components or maintain a backup set. ARRMA RC vehicles are renowned for their durability and performance, and having quality spare parts like this on hand ensures your RC car stays in top condition. Whether you're a weekend basher enjoying RC off-road adventures or a serious competitor maintaining competition-grade equipment, the ARRMA CVD Wheel Axle (2) is a dependable choice.

Technical Performance
The ARRMA CVD Wheel Axle represents precision engineering that has been refined through years of RC vehicle development and real-world testing. CVD axles are superior to traditional solid axles because they allow for independent wheel articulation whilst maintaining power delivery, which is particularly important in off-road RC driving where suspension movement is constant and dramatic. The constant velocity joints at each end of the axle accommodate the angles created by suspension travel and steering inputs without causing binding or power loss. This engineering approach has become the standard in modern brushless RC vehicles, from entry-level ready to run models to high-performance competition vehicles. The ARRMA BLX range, which these axles are designed for, represents the pinnacle of ARRMA's brushless RC technology, and using genuine ARRMA spare parts ensures your vehicle maintains the performance characteristics and reliability that made it a popular choice among UK RC enthusiasts. The durable construction of these axles ensures they can handle the demands of both casual driving and competitive racing scenarios.
What's in the Box
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a CVD wheel axle and why does my RC car need one? — A CVD (Constant Velocity) axle is a drivetrain component that transfers power from your RC vehicle's transmission to the wheels. Unlike traditional solid axles, CVD axles use constant velocity joints that allow smooth power delivery even when the suspension is compressed or the wheels are turned at sharp angles. This means better handling, more predictable driving characteristics, and improved performance both on-road and off-road. If your axle becomes bent, damaged, or worn, replacing it with a genuine ARRMA CVD Wheel Axle restores your vehicle's handling and driveability.
- Will these axles fit my ARRMA RC vehicle? — These CVD Wheel Axles are designed specifically for ARRMA BLX models as indicated by the part number Z-AR310891. Before purchasing, verify that your ARRMA vehicle is compatible with BLX components. If you're unsure about compatibility, contact us at RC Model Shop and our team of experienced RC enthusiasts can help you identify the correct parts for your specific model.
- How often do I need to replace my CVD axles? — The lifespan of CVD axles depends on how frequently you use your RC vehicle, the terrain you drive on, and how aggressively you drive. With regular maintenance and inspection, quality ARRMA CVD axles should provide extended service life. However, if you notice clicking sounds, excessive play in the wheel, or visible damage to the axle or joints, replacement is necessary. Having a spare set on hand, like this two-pack, is a smart approach to RC vehicle maintenance.
- Can I upgrade to these axles from standard axles? — If your ARRMA vehicle came equipped with solid axles and is compatible with the BLX component range, upgrading to these CVD axles will improve your vehicle's handling, particularly during cornering and suspension articulation. However, ensure your vehicle model supports this upgrade before purchasing. Our team at RC Model Shop can advise on compatibility and whether an upgrade is suitable for your specific setup.
- Are these genuine ARRMA parts? — Yes, this is an official ARRMA component manufactured to their exacting specifications. Purchasing genuine spare parts from authorised retailers ensures you receive authentic products that meet ARRMA's quality standards and provide guaranteed compatibility with your RC vehicle.
