Overview
The Traxxas Driveshafts, Steel constant-velocity (assembled), Rear (2 pcs) TRX8351X represents a premium upgrade option for owners of high-performance RC vehicles. Whether you're a dedicated RC car enthusiast in the UK or someone looking to enhance the durability and reliability of your model, these professionally assembled driveshafts deliver exceptional engineering and build quality. Traxxas has engineered these components specifically for demanding driving conditions, making them an essential upgrade for anyone seeking to maximise their RC car's performance and longevity.
These rear driveshafts are designed with constant-velocity technology, which means they maintain smooth power delivery throughout the full range of suspension movement and steering angles. This is particularly important for high-speed runs and aggressive cornering where traditional driveshafts might suffer from binding or power loss. The steel construction provides superior durability compared to standard components, making these driveshafts ideal for bashers, racers, and serious hobbyists who demand reliability from their RC equipment.
Compatible with the latest Traxxas 4TEC 3.0 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 1/10 AWD Supercar models in both black and silver colour variants, these driveshafts are a direct factory replacement part. For anyone in the UK looking for genuine Traxxas replacement parts or upgrade components, the TRX8351X offers excellent value and guaranteed compatibility with your vehicle.
Key Features
- Steel constant-velocity design — The constant-velocity joint technology ensures smooth, consistent power delivery at any steering angle or suspension compression, which is crucial for maintaining traction and control during high-performance driving. Steel construction provides exceptional durability compared to plastic alternatives, resisting wear and damage from aggressive driving conditions.
- Professionally assembled — These driveshafts arrive fully assembled and ready to install, saving you time and ensuring professional-quality assembly that meets Traxxas factory standards. This means no need to source additional components or worry about assembly accuracy.
- Rear axle configuration — Specifically designed for rear axle applications, these driveshafts are optimised for the weight distribution and drivetrain geometry of rear-drive or all-wheel-drive RC vehicles, ensuring perfect fitment and performance.
- OEM Traxxas quality — As an official Traxxas component, these driveshafts are manufactured to the same exacting standards as the original equipment, ensuring compatibility, reliability and longevity in your RC car.
- Pair of two units — This package includes two complete driveshaft assemblies, covering both rear sides of your vehicle and ensuring balanced performance and handling across the entire drivetrain.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas TRX8351X rear driveshafts exemplify precision engineering in RC component design. Constructed from steel rather than composite materials, these constant-velocity driveshafts are engineered to withstand the extreme stresses of high-performance 1/10 scale RC driving. The constant-velocity joint design eliminates the binding and torque steer that can occur with traditional driveshafts, particularly in all-wheel-drive systems like the Traxxas 4TEC 3.0 platform where power is distributed to all four wheels. This consistent power delivery translates directly to improved handling, better cornering grip, and more predictable vehicle behaviour at speed. The professional assembly ensures that each joint is perfectly aligned and preloaded to specification, maintaining smooth operation throughout the lifespan of the component. For UK RC enthusiasts running brushless powerplants and high-capacity LiPo batteries in their 4TEC 3.0 Corvettes, upgrading to steel driveshafts is a proven durability enhancement that can prevent mid-race failures and extend overall chassis reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Traxxas models are compatible with the TRX8351X driveshafts? — These rear driveshafts are specifically designed for the Traxxas 4TEC 3.0 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 1/10 AWD Supercar platform, available in both black (TRX93054-4-BLK) and silver (TRX93054-4-SLVR) colour options. Traxxas manufactures these as precision components with exact fitment specifications for this platform.
- What is constant-velocity technology and why does it matter? — Constant-velocity joints allow the driveshaft to transmit power smoothly regardless of the suspension compression or steering angle. This is essential in all-wheel-drive RC cars where the front wheels must turn whilst also delivering power. Without CV joints, power delivery would be interrupted as the suspension moves, causing jerky acceleration and poor handling. The technology ensures your RC car maintains consistent traction and predictable performance in all driving conditions.
- Are these a genuine upgrade over standard driveshafts? — Yes. The steel construction and constant-velocity engineering represent a significant upgrade from plastic or standard components. They are more durable, maintain better alignment under stress, and deliver improved performance in high-speed running and aggressive driving scenarios. Many RC car racers and serious bashers in the UK consider these an essential upgrade.
- Do these driveshafts require any special tools or expertise to install? — As factory components from Traxxas, these driveshafts are designed for straightforward installation on compatible models. However, we recommend consulting your vehicle's instruction manual or contacting our expert team if you're unfamiliar with drivetrain maintenance. RC Model Shop stock experienced staff who can provide installation guidance.
- Why would I need to replace or upgrade my driveshafts? — Driveshafts can wear, bend, or break during aggressive driving, especially in racing or high-performance bashing. Upgrading to steel constant-velocity driveshafts prevents breakage, improves durability, and can actually enhance performance by ensuring cleaner power delivery to the wheels.
