Key Features
- Steel Construction — The center driveshaft is manufactured from high-grade steel, providing extreme toughness and durability that resists bending, breaking and deformation even under high-stress driving conditions, making it ideal for bashers and racers alike.
- Hex Shape Design — The precision-engineered hex shape ensures positive power transfer from the transmission to the wheels, eliminating slip and ensuring that every ounce of motor power is translated directly into movement, which is critical for consistent acceleration and handling.
- 177mm Length Specification — This precise length measurement is optimised for the ARRMA 1/14 TYPHON GROM platform, ensuring perfect fit and alignment within the drivetrain assembly, which maintains the exact geometry your vehicle needs for proper handling and performance.
- OEM Replacement Quality — As an official ARRMA spare part, this driveshaft meets all manufacturer specifications and quality standards, giving you confidence that you're installing a component designed and tested by the engineers who built your vehicle.
- Direct Compatibility — Purpose-built to fit the ARRMA 1/14 TYPHON GROM MEGA 380 Brushed 4x4 Buggy RTR in both Blue/Silver and Red/White colour schemes, eliminating any guesswork about fitment.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Center Driveshaft 177mm represents precision engineering in drivetrain component design. Constructed entirely from steel, this component prioritises durability and power transmission efficiency, which are the two critical factors in maintaining consistent performance in your RC buggy. The hex-shaped design is specifically engineered to create a secure mechanical connection that prevents rotational slip, ensuring that the full output from your motor and transmission system is converted into wheel rotation without any loss of efficiency. At 177mm in length, this driveshaft is precisely dimensioned for the ARRMA 1/14 TYPHON GROM MEGA 380 platform, which means it maintains the exact wheelbase and suspension geometry that ARRMA engineers designed for optimal handling characteristics. Whether you're running a brushed motor setup or contemplating future upgrades to your 4x4 buggy, this centre driveshaft provides the mechanical integrity required for reliable operation. The steel construction resists wear from continuous rotation and contact with the transmission housing, meaning this component will maintain its performance characteristics across many hours of RC car operation. This is the kind of spare part that serious RC hobbyists keep on hand, because driveshaft failure can be catastrophic during competition or active driving sessions, and having an OEM replacement ready means zero downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the ARRMA Center Driveshaft 177mm compatible with my RC buggy? — This replacement driveshaft is designed specifically for the ARRMA 1/14 TYPHON GROM MEGA 380 Brushed 4x4 Buggy RTR, available in both Blue/Silver (C-ARA2106T1) and Red/White (C-ARA2106T2) versions. Before ordering, confirm your model matches one of these specifications to ensure perfect compatibility.
- What makes this driveshaft better than standard replacement options? — This is an official ARRMA OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) component, which means it's designed and tested by the engineers who built your vehicle. The steel construction and precision hex shape are engineered specifically for the TYPHON GROM platform, ensuring optimal performance and longevity compared to generic aftermarket alternatives.
- How often should I replace my center driveshaft? — Driveshaft replacement is typically only necessary when your existing component shows signs of wear, damage, or fails during operation. Regular maintenance and inspection of your drivetrain components can extend lifespan, but keeping a spare on hand is a smart investment for serious RC enthusiasts who want to minimise downtime.
- Will this work with upgraded motors or ESCs? — The center driveshaft itself is a passive mechanical component that doesn't interact directly with electrical systems. However, if you're planning to upgrade to more powerful brushless motor setups, you should consult ARRMA's upgrade compatibility information to ensure all drivetrain components can handle the increased torque and power output.
- What is the difference between this and similar driveshaft options from other brands? — The ARRMA Center Driveshaft is purpose-engineered for ARRMA's 1/14 scale buggy platform, with dimensions and specifications optimised specifically for that vehicle. Other brands' driveshafts may have different length specifications, materials, or hex profiles, making them incompatible or less efficient in your ARRMA model.
