Technical Performance

This extreme heavy-duty rear steel CV driveshaft represents the absolute pinnacle of Traxxas drivetrain engineering, designed with one purpose in mind: delivering uncompromising durability under the most extreme conditions. The constant velocity joint technology is the same proven design trusted by professional RC racers and serious bashers throughout the UK and beyond. The splined telescoping design allows the driveshaft to extend and contract smoothly as your suspension articulates through its full range of motion, whether you're climbing over massive obstacles, landing from big air, or cornering aggressively. This eliminates the need to compromise your suspension setup by limiting travel, which would negatively impact handling and ride quality. The steel construction is significantly more durable than plastic alternatives, capable of withstanding the brutal punishment of high-torque motors like the 540XL combined with the immense grip of premium competition-grade tyres. Whether you're running this on a monster truck platform or other demanding RC vehicle applications, this driveshaft is engineered to deliver consistent performance lap after lap, bash session after bash session.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this driveshaft compatible with all Traxxas monster trucks? — This centre rear driveshaft is specifically designed for use only with #9655X steel CV driveshafts, so it is essential to verify your vehicle uses this specific driveshaft assembly before purchasing. It is part of the extreme heavy-duty steel CV drivetrain system and is not compatible with other driveshaft types.
• Why would I need to replace my driveshaft? — Driveshafts can become damaged through aggressive driving, high-torque motor performance, or simply natural wear over time. If you experience vibration, clunking noises from the drivetrain, or visible damage to the shaft, replacement is necessary to maintain smooth operation and prevent damage to other drivetrain components.
• What makes steel CV driveshafts better than plastic alternatives? — Steel construction provides significantly superior durability and strength compared to plastic components, making steel CV driveshafts the choice for extreme heavy-duty applications. Steel can withstand far greater torque loads and impact forces while maintaining dimensional accuracy, which translates to more reliable performance in high-performance RC vehicles.
• Can I use this with my high-torque motor setup? — Yes, this extreme heavy-duty steel driveshaft is specifically engineered to handle the brutal torque output from powerful motors like the 540XL, making it an ideal choice if you're running a high-performance motor in your RC monster truck or similar vehicle.
• Do I need to purchase both front and rear driveshafts? — This is a centre rear driveshaft only. Depending on what components are already installed on your vehicle and what you need to replace, you may also need corresponding front driveshaft components to complete a full replacement or upgrade of your drivetrain system.
• Is this a genuine Traxxas part? — Yes, this is an authentic OEM Traxxas component, manufactured by Traxxas for Traxxas. Genuine Traxxas parts ensure perfect compatibility, optimal performance, and the reliability you expect from the brand trusted by RC enthusiasts worldwide.
