Key Features
- Composite Construction — The driveshaft set is manufactured from composite material, which provides an excellent balance between weight savings and durability, ensuring your RC vehicle maintains responsive handling whilst withstanding the demands of off-road driving and jumping.
- Slider Design — The slider mechanism allows the driveshaft to compress and extend with suspension travel, absorbing impacts from landings and rough terrain whilst preventing damage to transmission components and maintaining consistent power delivery.
- Rear Driveshaft Specific — Engineered specifically for rear axle application, this set is precision-tuned to work seamlessly with ARRMA's drivetrain architecture and suspension geometry.
- One Pair Included — This set contains one complete pair of rear driveshafts, providing everything needed for a full rear drivetrain replacement on compatible 4x4 models.
- Genuine ARRMA Component — As an official ARRMA spare part, you can trust that this component meets the manufacturer's exacting quality standards and will integrate perfectly with your RC car.
- Compatibility with Multiple Models — This driveshaft set is compatible with several ARRMA 4x4 platform vehicles, including the Kraton 4X4 4S V2 BLX and Outcast 4X4 4S V2 BLX models, offering versatility across the ARRMA 1/10 scale lineup.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Composite Slider Rear Driveshaft Set represents precision engineering for modern RC 4x4 vehicles. The composite material selection provides the ideal compromise between strength and weight, critical factors in high-performance RC driving where every gram affects acceleration, top speed and manoeuvrability. The slider design is a key engineering feature that allows the driveshaft to telescope during suspension compression, absorbing energy from landings and jumps whilst preventing the sudden shock loads that can damage internal drivetrain components. This design philosophy is essential for vehicles running brushless motors with significant power output, as the ESC and transmission must be protected from sudden torque spikes. The construction quality reflects ARRMA's commitment to producing components capable of withstanding continuous bashing at high speeds across challenging terrain. Whether you're running 3S or 4S LiPo batteries and pushing your RC 4x4 to its limits on demanding UK tracks and off-road courses, this composite driveshaft set is engineered to deliver consistent performance and reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which ARRMA RC vehicles are compatible with the Composite Slider Rear Driveshaft Set? — This driveshaft set is compatible with the ARRMA 1/10 Kraton 4X4 4S V2 BLX Speed Monster Truck RTR (both standard and green editions), and the ARRMA 1/10 Outcast 4X4 4S V2 BLX Stunt Truck RTR (both gunmetal and red editions). Always verify your specific model number matches one of these variants before ordering.
- Why would I need to replace my rear driveshafts? — Driveshafts can wear or break through normal use, especially in aggressive bashing or high-speed driving. Replacing a broken driveshaft is essential to get your RC car back to full performance. Even preventative replacement can be worthwhile if you notice any flex, play or unusual noises in the drivetrain.
- What is the difference between slider and rigid driveshafts? — The slider design used in this set allows the driveshaft to compress and extend with suspension movement, absorbing impacts and protecting the transmission from sudden shock loads. Rigid driveshafts don't have this flex, making them heavier and more prone to transmitting impact damage to internal components during landings and rough terrain driving.
- Is this a genuine ARRMA part? — Yes, this is an official ARRMA component with the model number Z-ARA311064. Purchasing from RC Model Shop as an authorised ARRMA dealer guarantees you receive a genuine part with full ARRMA quality assurance.
- Do I need special tools to install this driveshaft set? — Installation typically requires basic RC tools such as hex drivers and Allen keys. If you're unfamiliar with RC vehicle maintenance, our team at RC Model Shop can provide guidance, or you can bring your vehicle into our Walsall store for professional installation support.
