Overview
The ARRMA Outboard CVD Rebuild Set (2) Z-ARA310933 is an essential maintenance and upgrade component for RC car enthusiasts in the UK who demand reliability and performance from their vehicles. This precision-engineered drivetrain spare is designed specifically for ARRMA 1/5 scale models, providing critical replacement parts for servicing your vehicle's constant velocity drive system. Whether you're a seasoned RC basher, a competitive racer, or someone new to the world of RC car UK hobbyist culture, keeping your CVD components in top condition is vital for consistent performance across all surfaces and driving conditions.
Constant velocity drives are fundamental to modern RC car performance, transmitting power smoothly from the motor to the wheels while allowing suspension articulation. Over time, these components experience wear from intense use, impacts, and the demands of high-speed running. This rebuild set provides the genuine ARRMA components needed to restore your vehicle to factory specifications, ensuring that your RC model maintains the smooth, responsive handling characteristics it was engineered to deliver. By choosing to service your CVD system with official ARRMA parts rather than worn components, you're investing in the longevity and reliability of your investment.
ARRMA is recognised globally as a leading manufacturer of durable, high-performance RC vehicles and spares. Their commitment to engineering excellence means that every component in this rebuild set has been precision manufactured to exacting tolerances, ensuring perfect fitment and optimal performance. For RC model enthusiasts across the UK, having access to genuine ARRMA spares like this CVD rebuild set is crucial for maintaining your vehicle between major services and keeping your RC car in peak operating condition.
Key Features
- Precision Manufactured Steel CVD Barrel — The CVD barrel is the core component of your constant velocity drive, and it's machined from quality steel to deliver smooth and consistent performance on all surfaces. This ensures that power is transmitted evenly to your wheels whether you're driving on loose terrain, asphalt, carpet, or mixed surfaces, providing predictable handling and superior drivability compared to worn or inferior alternatives.
- Tough Steel CVD Pins — The CVD pins are engineered from tough steel material to provide long-lasting durability even under the demanding conditions that serious RC bashers and racers subject their vehicles to. These pins are critical to maintaining the mechanical integrity of your drive system and preventing premature failure that could leave you sidelined at the track or during a weekend bash session.
- Complete Rebuild Set for Two Outboard CVDs — This set contains everything needed to service two of your vehicle's outboard constant velocity drives, making it an economical choice for comprehensive drivetrain maintenance. Whether you need to refresh both front and rear drives or replace failed components on both sides, this two-pack ensures you have the parts needed for complete restoration.
- Genuine ARRMA Components — As official ARRMA spares, these parts are engineered to OEM specifications and guaranteed to fit and function correctly with your ARRMA 1/5 scale RC vehicle. Using genuine parts ensures warranty compatibility and confirms you're getting authentic components rather than aftermarket alternatives that may compromise performance or longevity.
- Easy Maintenance and Replacement — These components are designed for straightforward replacement by RC enthusiasts at any skill level, allowing you to perform essential maintenance without requiring specialist tools or professional servicing. This accessibility means you can keep your RC car in top condition and get back to driving faster.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Outboard CVD Rebuild Set represents precision engineering applied to drivetrain maintenance. The CVD barrels included in this set are precision manufactured to ensure tight tolerances and smooth operation, which is essential for transmitting power efficiently from your vehicle's motor and transmission to the wheels. The steel construction provides excellent durability and resistance to the stresses of acceleration, deceleration, and impact loads that occur during aggressive driving. The CVD pins (measuring 3.5 x 16.8mm) are equally critical, as they engage with the barrel and allow the constant velocity joint to articulate smoothly through suspension movement whilst maintaining consistent power delivery. The combination of precision-manufactured steel components ensures that your drivetrain operates smoothly under all conditions, from casual driving to competitive racing. This rebuild set is specifically engineered for ARRMA's 1/5 scale platform, which is known for its robust construction and high-performance capabilities. By maintaining your CVD system with genuine ARRMA components, you're preserving the engineered performance characteristics of your vehicle and ensuring that the smooth, predictable handling you experienced when your RC car was new is restored and maintained.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What ARRMA models is this CVD rebuild set compatible with? — This set is specifically compatible with the ARRMA 1/5 Outcast 4X4 8S BLX EXB Brushless Stunt Truck RTR and other ARRMA 1/5 scale models that utilise outboard constant velocity drives. If you're unsure whether your specific ARRMA vehicle uses outboard CVDs, we recommend checking your vehicle's manual or contacting our expert team at RC Model Shop, and they'll help you identify the correct parts for your model.
- How often should I service my CVD system? — The frequency of CVD maintenance depends on how intensively you use your RC vehicle. Regular bashers and racers should inspect their CVDs periodically for wear, and consider a rebuild if you notice clicking sounds, grinding, or reduced smoothness in power delivery. This rebuild set gives you the components to restore your system when maintenance is needed.
- Are these components difficult to install? — No, replacing CVD components is a straightforward maintenance task that most RC enthusiasts can perform with basic tools. The parts are designed for easy access and replacement, making this an excellent way to keep your vehicle in peak condition without requiring professional servicing.
- What is the difference between CVD pins and other drivetrain components? — CVD pins are specifically engineered to work within the constant velocity drive system, allowing articulation whilst maintaining smooth power delivery. Unlike universal joints or other drive systems, CVD pins enable the drive to flex with suspension movement whilst transmitting power consistently, which is why they're found on modern high-performance RC vehicles like the ARRMA 1/5 range.
- Can I use aftermarket pins instead of these genuine ARRMA components? — Whilst aftermarket options may be available, using genuine ARRMA components ensures perfect fitment, optimal performance, and maintains compatibility with your vehicle's engineered specifications. Genuine parts also provide confidence in durability and longevity, particularly important for serious RC enthusiasts.
- Why would my CVD components need replacement? — Over time, CVD barrels and pins experience wear from normal use, high-speed running, impacts, and the lateral forces generated during cornering and suspension articulation. When wear occurs, you may notice clicking sounds, loss of smoothness, or reduced acceleration response. This rebuild set provides the genuine replacement components to restore your vehicle's performance.
