RC Model Shop stocks this part in our UK warehouse, ensuring quick delivery to RC enthusiasts across the country who trust FTX's engineering excellence.

Key Features

• Central CVD Design — The constant velocity design eliminates binding and provides smooth torque delivery throughout the full range of motion, which is essential for maintaining traction and control when navigating challenging terrain in both crawling and ultra-4 racing applications.
• Steel Cup Construction — Unlike plastic alternatives, the steel cup provides superior strength and durability, resisting wear and deformation even under extreme loads, ensuring your RC buggy or crawler maintains consistent performance through countless hours of use.
• Rear Central Shaft Assembly — This is the complete rear half of the central drive shaft system, meaning it integrates perfectly with the rear differential and gearbox for seamless power transmission and reliable operation.
• Universal Compatibility — Engineered to work with multiple FTX models including the Outlaw brushed and brushless variants, as well as the Kanyon 4x4 Mountain Rescue 2-Speed RTR and standard Kanyon Trail Crawler versions, providing versatility across the FTX product range.
• Direct Replacement Part — When your original shaft wears out, this FTX genuine part ensures exact fitment and maintains the integrity of your vehicle's drivetrain without any modification required.
• Quality Assurance — Manufactured to FTX's exacting standards, this component undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets the performance demands of competitive crawling and bashing environments.

Technical Performance

This rear central CVD shaft rear half represents precision engineering designed specifically for the transmission systems found in 1/10 scale FTX crawlers and ultra-4 buggies. The steel cup design is engineered to handle the torque loads and directional changes that come with aggressive off-road driving, whether you're competing in formal RC crawling events or enjoying weekend bashing sessions. The central CVD (Constant Velocity) joint design is a hallmark of modern RC transmission engineering, allowing the shaft to maintain optimal power delivery even when the vehicle is at extreme angles — a crucial consideration for rock crawling where articulation and suspension compression are constant factors. The steel construction of the cup provides significantly greater impact resistance and wear longevity compared to plastic alternatives, meaning this component will maintain its performance characteristics across hundreds of hours of operation. When integrated properly with your FTX Outlaw or Kanyon platform, this shaft assembly works in concert with the vehicle's gearbox and differential to ensure every ounce of motor power is efficiently transferred to the wheels, translating directly to improved climbing ability, cornering stability, and overall drivetrain responsiveness.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this part compatible with both the FTX Outlaw and FTX Kanyon models? — Yes, absolutely. This rear central CVD shaft rear half is engineered to work with the FTX Outlaw 1/10 4WD Ultra-4 RTR Buggy (both brushed FTX5570 and brushless FTX5571 versions), as well as the FTX Kanyon 4x4 RTR XL Trail Crawler (FTX5563) and the Kanyon 4x4 Mountain Rescue 2-Speed RTR XL Crawler (FTX5563R). It's also compatible with the FTX Zorro Trophy Truck Brushed RTR (FTX5556B), making it a versatile upgrade option across multiple FTX platform vehicles.
• What is a CVD shaft and why does it matter for my RC crawler? — CVD stands for Constant Velocity, which is a drivetrain joint design that maintains consistent power delivery even when the shaft is bent or angled — something that happens constantly in rock crawling and extreme off-road driving. This prevents power loss, binding, and drivetrain noise, resulting in smoother operation and better traction on technical terrain.
• Why choose a steel cup over plastic alternatives? — Steel provides superior strength and impact resistance compared to plastic. When driving over rocks and rough terrain, a steel cup can withstand sudden impacts and high torque loads without deformation or cracking. This translates to longer lifespan, reduced maintenance, and more reliable performance on every run.
• Is this a direct replacement part? — Yes, this is a genuine FTX spare part designed as a direct replacement for the original rear central CVD shaft rear half assembly. It requires no modifications and installs directly into your FTX vehicle, ensuring perfect fitment and compatibility.
• How do I know if I need to replace my rear central CVD shaft? — Signs of wear or damage include clicking or popping sounds from the drivetrain, reduced traction, visible damage to the shaft or cup, or excessive play in the rear end. If you've been bashing hard or racing competitively, replacing your shaft as preventative maintenance is a smart move.
• Can beginners install this part themselves? — This is a transmission component that requires some mechanical knowledge to properly install. While not exceptionally difficult, you'll need to partially disassemble your vehicle's rear end and ensure proper alignment and torque specifications. If you're new to RC car maintenance, we recommend consulting your FTX manual or visiting RC Model Shop for guidance.
