This is a genuine ARRMA factory component, not a generic aftermarket alternative. When you choose OEM parts from established manufacturers like ARRMA, you are investing in parts engineered specifically for your vehicle's unique drivetrain layout, tolerances and performance envelope. RC Model Shop stocks only authentic ARRMA components, giving you the confidence that you are purchasing genuine, quality spares that will integrate seamlessly with your RC model.
Key Features
- Composite Construction — Engineered from composite materials, this driveshaft delivers an ideal combination of weight savings and durability, allowing your RC model to respond more quickly to throttle inputs whilst maintaining structural integrity under demanding driving conditions.
- Center Slider Design — The slider mechanism reduces shock and impact loads transferred through the drivetrain during acceleration and cornering, protecting other transmission components and extending the service life of your entire drivetrain assembly.
- Genuine ARRMA Component — Manufactured to OEM specifications, this part is engineered and tested to work perfectly with ARRMA 1/8 scale models, ensuring precise fitment and performance characteristics that third-party alternatives cannot guarantee.
- Compatible with MOJAVE 4X4 4S BLX — Designed specifically for the ARRMA MOJAVE 4X4 4S BLX Desert Truck RTR, whether you own the Blue or White variant, this part integrates seamlessly into your existing setup without modification or adaptation.
- Essential Maintenance Component — Driveshafts are wear items that experience constant rotational stress and impact forces; having quality replacement parts ensures your RC model maintains peak performance and reliability throughout the season.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Composite Center Slider Driveshaft Set represents a carefully engineered solution for demanding RC desert truck applications. Composite materials offer superior performance characteristics compared to some heavier metal alternatives, delivering reduced unsprung weight that improves suspension responsiveness and handling precision. The center slider mechanism is specifically engineered to absorb and dissipate energy from sudden acceleration events and rough terrain impacts, preventing premature wear of gears, bearings and other drivetrain components. This design philosophy has been proven across countless ARRMA vehicles in racing and recreational use throughout the UK and internationally. The composite material maintains excellent durability across a wide temperature range, resisting degradation even during extended outdoor RC driving sessions in varying weather conditions. For the MOJAVE 4X4 4S BLX platform, which utilises brushless motor technology for high power delivery, a well-designed driveshaft system is critical to translating that power smoothly to the wheels without shocking the entire drivetrain assembly. This genuine ARRMA component has been tested and validated to perform reliably with the MOJAVE's brushless powertrain, ensuring you get consistent, predictable performance every time you hit the track or bashfield.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the ARRMA Composite Center Slider Driveshaft Set Z-ARA311170 suitable for beginners? — This is a replacement component rather than a complete vehicle, so it is intended for existing RC car owners who need to service or upgrade their drivetrain. If you are new to RC models, we recommend starting with a complete ready to run RC model. However, if you already own an ARRMA MOJAVE 4X4 4S BLX and need spare parts, this is an excellent choice for maintaining your vehicle.
- What vehicles is this driveshaft compatible with? — The ARRMA Composite Center Slider Driveshaft Set Z-ARA311170 is specifically designed for the ARRMA MOJAVE 4X4 4S BLX Desert Truck RTR, compatible with both the Blue variant (C-ARA4404T2) and White variant (C-ARA4404T1). Always verify your specific model number before ordering to ensure compatibility.
- Why should I choose composite over metal alternatives? — Composite materials offer weight savings and excellent shock absorption properties compared to heavier metal components. For high-powered brushless RC models like the MOJAVE 4X4 4S BLX, composite construction helps absorb impact energy from rough terrain, reducing stress on other drivetrain parts and extending overall component lifespan.
- How often do I need to replace my driveshaft? — Driveshaft replacement frequency depends on your driving style and terrain. Aggressive driving on rough surfaces may require more frequent replacement than casual driving on smooth surfaces. We recommend inspecting your driveshaft regularly for signs of wear, cracks or excessive play, and replacing it if you notice any degradation in handling or drivetrain responsiveness.
- Is this a genuine ARRMA component? — Yes, this is an authentic OEM ARRMA part manufactured to original equipment manufacturer specifications. RC Model Shop stocks only genuine ARRMA components, not aftermarket alternatives, ensuring you receive parts that are engineered and tested to work perfectly with your RC model.
