Overview
The ARRMA CVD Driveshaft Set (2) Z-ARA311147 is an essential drivetrain component designed for RC enthusiasts in the UK who demand reliability and smooth power delivery in their high-performance RC cars. Whether you're running an ARRMA Kraton or Outcast 4S 4WD RC monster truck, this driveshaft set represents genuine OEM parts that will keep your RC vehicle performing at its best. These precision-engineered driveshafts are the backbone of your RC car's power transmission system, transferring power from the differential directly to your wheels with minimal loss and maximum efficiency.
If you're an RC basher, racer, or weekend enthusiast in the UK, you'll appreciate the quality engineering that goes into ARRMA's CVD driveshaft design. CVD (Constant Velocity) driveshafts are the gold standard in RC car engineering, offering superior performance compared to standard driveshafts because they maintain consistent power delivery at all suspension angles. This means smoother acceleration, better handling, and more predictable performance whether you're jumping, cornering, or bashing through rough terrain. When your existing driveshafts wear out or get damaged—which happens to even the most carefully maintained RC cars—upgrading to a genuine ARRMA replacement set ensures you're getting exactly the same quality and performance characteristics your RC truck was designed around.
This CVD Driveshaft Set is strong and durable and offers ultra-smooth power transfer from the differential to the wheels. It's the perfect maintenance item to keep in your spare parts box, and an essential upgrade if you've experienced driveshaft failures or wear on your 4WD RC monster truck or stunt truck. Stock your garage with genuine ARRMA parts and enjoy consistent, reliable performance from your RC investment.
Key Features
- Strong Steel Couplings — The driveshaft couplings are constructed from hardened steel, which connects the sliders to the outdrives and wheel axles with precision engineering that ensures zero play and maximum torque transfer efficiency in your RC truck.
- Tough Impact-Absorbing Composite Slider Driveshafts — The slider sections are manufactured from advanced composite materials that absorb impacts and vibrations, protecting your differential and drivetrain from shock loads during hard landings, jumps, and aggressive driving in your RC car.
- Precision Manufacturing for Excellent Fit and Finish — Each driveshaft is precision-manufactured to exacting tolerances, ensuring perfect fitment with your ARRMA RC truck's drivetrain components, eliminating any unwanted play or vibration that could affect handling or longevity.
- Supplied Assembled for Quick and Easy Installation — Unlike aftermarket options that require assembly, these driveshafts arrive fully assembled and ready to install, meaning you can get your RC car back on the track or trail in minutes rather than hours.
- Versatile Front or Rear Installation — This set can be fitted to either the front or rear of your RC vehicle, providing flexibility if you need to replace worn driveshafts on either axle, or refresh your entire drivetrain for maximum performance.
- Genuine OEM ARRMA Parts — As authentic manufacturer parts, these driveshafts are engineered specifically for ARRMA 4S models, guaranteeing compatibility and performance characteristics that match your vehicle's original specification.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA CVD Driveshaft Set represents the pinnacle of RC drivetrain engineering for 1/10 scale 4WD RC monster trucks and stunt trucks. The CVD design (Constant Velocity) is significantly superior to traditional driveshafts because it maintains consistent power delivery regardless of suspension travel or suspension angles, which is critical when you're pushing your RC car to its limits. The steel couplings provide exceptional strength and durability, capable of handling the extreme torque output from modern brushless motors whilst maintaining a rigid connection to the differential outdrives and wheel axles. The composite slider sections are engineered to absorb impacts and vibrations that would otherwise transmit shock loads through your entire drivetrain, protecting sensitive components like differential gears and motor bearings. This engineering approach extends the lifespan of your entire RC car whilst delivering the ultra-smooth power transfer that professional RC racers and serious bashers demand. The precision manufacturing ensures that these components slip into place with perfect fit and finish, with zero play or wobble that could introduce vibrations or wear patterns. Whether you're running 3S, 4S, or higher-voltage systems in your RC truck, these driveshafts are designed to handle the power reliably and consistently, lap after lap or bash session after bash session.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What RC cars is the ARRMA CVD Driveshaft Set compatible with? — This driveshaft set is specifically designed for ARRMA 1/10 4S 4WD models, including the Kraton 4X4 4S V2 BLX Speed Monster Truck and the Outcast 4X4 4S V2 BLX Stunt Truck. These are the recommended models for which this part (Z-ARA311147) is engineered and tested. Always verify your model number before purchasing to ensure compatibility with your RC vehicle.
- Why would I need to replace my driveshafts? — Driveshafts are wear items in any high-performance RC car. They can wear out through normal use, become damaged from hard impacts or crashes, or develop play and vibration over time. Replacing them with genuine OEM ARRMA parts restores your RC truck's performance and handling to factory specification and prevents potential damage to your differential and motor.
- Can I fit these driveshafts myself? — Yes, these driveshafts come fully assembled and ready to install, making the job straightforward for RC enthusiasts with basic mechanical skills. If you're familiar with basic RC car maintenance, you should be able to complete the installation yourself. However, if you're new to RC car maintenance, your local RC hobby shop can assist you with installation.
- What is the difference between CVD driveshafts and standard driveshafts? — CVD (Constant Velocity) driveshafts maintain consistent power delivery at all suspension angles and travel, unlike standard driveshafts which can lose efficiency at extreme angles. This results in smoother acceleration, better cornering performance, more consistent handling, and superior durability under extreme driving conditions. CVD is the preferred standard for serious RC racers and bashers in the UK and worldwide.
- How often should I replace my driveshafts? — Driveshaft lifespan depends on driving style, maintenance, and surface conditions. Aggressive bashers might replace them every few months, whilst casual drivers might go a year or more. Inspect them regularly for wear, play, or damage, and replace them as soon as you notice any degradation in performance or feel any vibration through the chassis.
- Are these genuine ARRMA parts? — Yes, the Z-ARA311147 is the genuine ARRMA part number for this CVD driveshaft set. Purchasing from an authorised ARRMA retailer like RC Model Shop ensures you receive authentic, factory-engineered components with proper quality control and warranty support.
