Overview
The ARRMA Inboard CVD Rebuild Set is an essential maintenance and upgrade component for serious RC enthusiasts in the UK who demand reliability and performance from their vehicles. This precision-engineered drivetrain spare is specifically designed for the ARRMA 1/5 scale range, providing critical replacement parts for servicing and rebuilding your RC car's inboard CVD system. Whether you're a competitive racer, a weekend basher, or someone who takes their RC hobby seriously, having quality spare parts on hand ensures your vehicle stays in peak condition and ready for action whenever you need it.
CVD (Constant Velocity) joints are fundamental components in any high-performance RC drivetrain, responsible for transferring power smoothly and consistently from the transmission to the wheels across all surfaces and driving conditions. The ARRMA Inboard CVD Rebuild Set provides you with the precision-manufactured components needed to maintain, service, or upgrade your existing drivetrain setup. This is the kind of spare part that separates casual RC enthusiasts from serious hobbyists who understand that drivetrain maintenance is key to longevity and consistent performance in your brushless RC car or truck.
Available from RC Model Shop, your trusted UK RC retailer, this genuine ARRMA component comes with the assurance of authenticity and quality that only an authorised dealer can provide. Whether you're replacing worn components after intensive use or performing preventative maintenance on your vehicle, the Inboard CVD Rebuild Set delivers the durability and precision engineering ARRMA is renowned for across their entire range of RC vehicles.
Key Features
- Precision Manufactured Steel CVD Barrel — The CVD barrel is engineered from tough steel material to ensure smooth and consistent power delivery across all driving surfaces, from smooth tarmac to rough terrain. This precision manufacturing guarantees proper alignment and performance, which is critical for maintaining straight-line speed and responsive handling in your RC vehicle.
- Tough Steel CVD Pins — The inclusion of durable steel pins rated at 3 x 14.8mm provides long-lasting durability even under the extreme stresses of high-speed RC driving. Steel construction resists wear and deformation, ensuring your drivetrain maintains its integrity through countless hours of use.
- Complete Rebuild Solution — This set contains everything needed for a full inboard CVD rebuild on one side of your vehicle, with two complete barrel and pin assemblies included. This allows you to service both sides of your RC car's drivetrain or keep a complete spare set on hand for rapid replacement.
- Direct ARRMA Compatibility — Engineered specifically for ARRMA 1/5 scale vehicles, these components are guaranteed to fit and perform exactly as intended. This ensures no fitment issues and reliable performance when installed on compatible models.
- Essential Maintenance Component — Regular servicing of CVD joints is crucial for any serious RC hobbyist wanting to maintain peak performance and avoid catastrophic drivetrain failure. Having genuine replacement parts ensures your maintenance schedule stays on track.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Inboard CVD Rebuild Set represents the engineering excellence that ARRMA brings to the RC hobby market. CVD joints are critical drivetrain components that operate under significant stress, especially in high-speed and high-torque applications common to brushless RC vehicles. The precision-manufactured steel CVD barrel included in this set ensures smooth rotational performance and consistent power transfer, eliminating vibration and drivetrain noise that can indicate wear or misalignment. The steel CVD pins measuring 3 x 14.8mm are specifically dimensioned to work within ARRMA's inboard CVD specifications, providing the exact geometry needed for proper joint movement and longevity. The robust construction of both barrels and pins means they resist the extreme forces generated during acceleration, cornering, and deceleration in competitive or recreational driving scenarios. This is particularly important for users running high-powered brushless RC cars and trucks, where drivetrain components face incredible stresses that lesser-quality alternatives simply cannot withstand. The complete rebuild set approach means you're not purchasing individual components piecemeal; instead, you get matched pairs designed to work together for balanced performance across your vehicle's drivetrain.

Frequently Asked Questions
- When should I replace or rebuild my RC car's inboard CVD joints? — CVD joints require maintenance and eventual replacement depending on usage intensity. Signs that you need to rebuild or replace your CVD components include clicking noises from the drivetrain, vibration at high speed, or visible wear on the barrel or pins. Many RC enthusiasts perform preventative maintenance on their CVD joints every season or after heavy use, making spare rebuild sets like this essential for any serious UK-based RC hobbyist.
- Is this suitable for competitive racing or just casual bashing? — The ARRMA Inboard CVD Rebuild Set is suitable for both applications. The precision engineering and tough steel construction mean these components can handle the demands of competitive racing environments where reliability is paramount, whilst also being perfect for recreational weekend bashing where you want your vehicle to perform consistently.
- What ARRMA vehicles is this compatible with? — This rebuild set is compatible with ARRMA 1/5 scale vehicles fitted with inboard CVD systems. Specifically listed as compatible with the ARRMA 1/5 Outcast 4X4 8S BLX, though it will work with other ARRMA 1/5 models that utilise inboard CVD joints. Always verify compatibility with your specific model before purchasing.
- Do I need any special tools to install this rebuild set? — Whilst the source does not specify tools required, CVD joint service and rebuilding typically requires basic RC hobby tools. We recommend consulting your vehicle's manual or checking online resources for detailed installation instructions specific to your model before beginning any drivetrain work.
- How many rebuild sets should I keep in stock? — Many serious RC enthusiasts keep multiple rebuild sets on hand, especially for competition use. Having two or three sets means you can quickly service your vehicle between races or driving sessions without waiting for parts to arrive. The comprehensive nature of this set, which includes components for both sides of the drivetrain, makes it excellent value for maintaining your RC car collection.
