Overview
The Traxxas Shaft, GTR XX-Long, TiN-coated (2 pcs) TRX7465T is an essential replacement and upgrade component for Traxxas RC models, specifically designed for the Rustler Ultimate VXL 4x4 1/10 brushless platform. This precision-engineered driveshaft assembly represents OEM-quality replacement parts from one of the world's most trusted RC manufacturers. Whether you're a serious racer maintaining your competition-grade RC car, a weekend basher replacing worn components, or an experienced RC enthusiast looking to upgrade your drivetrain, these XX-Long shafts deliver the durability and performance you expect from Traxxas engineering.
These shafts come as a pack of two units, providing complete coverage for your vehicle's driveline. The TiN (Titanium Nitride) coating process applied to these shafts represents a significant upgrade over standard steel components, offering enhanced durability, reduced friction, and extended component lifespan. For UK RC car enthusiasts running brushless 4WD vehicles like the Rustler Ultimate VXL, having quality replacement shafts on hand is essential maintenance and a smart investment in keeping your RC hobby running smoothly.
Available from RC Model Shop, a trusted authorised Traxxas retailer across the UK, these genuine OEM parts ensure compatibility and performance. The XX-Long configuration provides optimal geometry for high-performance driving dynamics, making these shafts ideal for both track racing and off-road bashing with your 1/10 scale 4WD RC truck.
Key Features
- TiN Coating Technology — The Titanium Nitride coating applied to these shafts provides significantly superior wear resistance compared to uncoated steel, which means your driveline components will last longer and maintain consistent performance even under aggressive driving conditions and high-speed racing scenarios.
- XX-Long Configuration — The extended length design of these shafts is engineered specifically for the Rustler Ultimate VXL 4x4 platform, ensuring proper geometry, optimal weight distribution, and ideal centre of gravity for high-performance handling characteristics across various driving surfaces.
- Genuine Traxxas OEM Parts — These are authentic original manufacturer components engineered and tested by Traxxas, guaranteeing perfect fitment and reliable performance that matches the exact specifications of your vehicle's design, unlike cheaper aftermarket alternatives that may cause binding or premature wear.
- Pack of Two Units — This product includes two complete shafts, providing full coverage for multiple axle positions or allowing you to maintain a backup set for uninterrupted racing and bashing sessions without downtime waiting for replacement parts.
- Enhanced Durability — The combination of TiN coating and premium material selection makes these shafts resistant to corrosion, impact damage, and fatigue failure, which is particularly important for UK hobbyists dealing with wet conditions, salt spray near coastal areas, and muddy terrain.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Shaft, GTR XX-Long, TRX7465T represents precision engineering designed for the demands of modern 1/10 scale brushless RC performance. The TiN coating process involves depositing a thin layer of titanium nitride onto the steel shaft surface, which significantly increases surface hardness (up to three times harder than standard steel), reduces friction coefficient, and provides superior corrosion resistance. This coating technology is derived from industrial and aerospace applications where reliability under extreme conditions is non-negotiable. For RC applications, this translates directly to reduced drivetrain heat generation, improved power transmission efficiency, and extended component life even under the high torque loads generated by modern brushless motor systems. The XX-Long length specification is calibrated for the Rustler Ultimate VXL 4x4 1/10 brushless platform, ensuring proper engagement with transmission components, optimal suspension geometry, and correct weight distribution for balanced handling. These shafts are engineered to handle the acceleration forces, cornering stresses, and impact loads inherent to high-performance brushless RC driving, whether on smooth racing circuits or rough bashing terrain. The material composition and manufacturing tolerances meet Traxxas' exacting standards, ensuring smooth rotation, minimal runout, and reliable power delivery to the wheels.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What vehicles are compatible with the Traxxas Shaft, GTR XX-Long, TRX7465T? — These shafts are specifically engineered for the Traxxas Rustler Ultimate VXL 4x4 1/10 brushless RC truck, available in blue and green colour variants. They are genuine OEM replacement parts designed to fit perfectly on this platform without modification.
- Why should I choose TiN-coated shafts over standard steel shafts? — The Titanium Nitride coating provides multiple performance advantages including superior wear resistance (up to three times harder), reduced friction for smoother operation, enhanced corrosion resistance for durability in wet UK conditions, and extended component lifespan under high-torque brushless motor loads.
- How often should I replace my RC driveshafts? — Replacement intervals depend on your driving style and conditions, but these shafts should be inspected regularly for bending, cracking, or wear marks. High-performance racing may require more frequent replacement than casual weekend bashing. Having spare shafts on hand ensures minimal downtime.
- Are these genuine Traxxas parts? — Yes, the TRX7465T is an authentic Traxxas OEM component manufactured to the exact specifications of the original vehicle design. Purchasing genuine parts from an authorised retailer like RC Model Shop guarantees fitment accuracy and reliable performance.
- What is the difference between XX-Long and standard shaft lengths? — The XX-Long configuration is specifically engineered for the Rustler Ultimate VXL 4x4 geometry, providing optimised wheelbase, suspension travel, and weight distribution characteristics that standard-length shafts cannot achieve. Using the correct length specification is essential for proper handling and longevity.
- Can I use these shafts on other Traxxas models? — These shafts are engineered specifically for the Rustler Ultimate VXL 4x4 1/10 brushless platform. Using them on other models may result in incorrect geometry, binding, premature wear, and poor handling characteristics. Always verify compatibility before installation.
