Overview

The RCO Metal CVD Drive Shafts Fr/Rr represent a premium upgrade for your 1/18 Mojave Grom RC car, delivering the strength and durability that serious RC enthusiasts demand. Whether you're a weekend basher enjoying your RC car UK hobby or a dedicated racer pushing your machine to its limits, these metal drive shafts will significantly enhance your vehicle's drivetrain performance and reliability. CVD (Constant Velocity) drive shafts are a recognised upgrade in the RC car world, providing smoother power delivery and reduced wear compared to standard plastic components.

If you own an ARRMA Mojave Grom and want to protect your investment whilst improving performance, this RC upgrade is an essential consideration. The Mojave Grom is a fantastic small-scale desert truck platform, and upgrading to metal CVD shafts is one of the most popular modifications RC enthusiasts make to enhance durability and handling. These shafts replace the standard plastic components with robust metal alternatives, creating a one-piece unit that combines the drive shaft, axle, and threaded insert into a single, reliable assembly.

The engineering behind these metal CVD drive shafts demonstrates RC Overhaul's commitment to quality and longevity. Rather than relying on multiple plastic components that can wear or break, this integrated design provides a stronger, more reliable solution that will keep your Mojave Grom performing at its best, whether you're running on carpet, tarmac, or bashing outdoors in all weather conditions.

Key Features

• One-Piece Metal CVD Construction — This integrated design combines the drive shaft, axle, and threaded insert into a single robust metal unit, eliminating weak points found in standard plastic assemblies and providing superior durability during aggressive driving and racing.
• Front and Rear Replacement Design — The package includes purpose-designed components for both front and rear drive positions, with the front shafts being longer to suit the geometry of your Mojave Grom's suspension and steering system.
• Spring Clip Drive Pin Retention — A neat spring clip design securely holds the drive pin in place, providing a clean installation that's easy to maintain and service without compromising reliability or performance.
• Direct Compatibility with Brushed Mojave Grom Models — These CVD drive shafts are engineered to work seamlessly with the ARRMA Mojave Grom MEGA 380 Brushed 4X4 Small Scale Desert Truck, ensuring perfect fitment and performance without modification.
• Enhanced Drivetrain Strength — Upgrading from plastic to metal components significantly increases the strength of your drivetrain, reducing breakage during high-speed runs, rough terrain bashing, and competitive racing situations.

Technical Performance

The RCO Metal CVD Drive Shafts represent a significant engineering upgrade for your 1/18 Mojave Grom RC vehicle. By replacing the factory standard shaft, axle, and threaded insert with a single metal CVD unit, RC Overhaul has created a component that delivers measurable improvements in durability and performance. The one-piece metal construction eliminates the stress concentrations and weak points that develop where multiple plastic parts join together. This is particularly important in small-scale RC cars like the 1/18 Mojave Grom, where weight distribution and drivetrain reliability directly impact handling characteristics and longevity. The spring clip design for drive pin retention is not merely decorative—it's a functional engineering solution that keeps everything securely in place whilst remaining simple to disassemble for cleaning and maintenance. The longer front shafts account for the different geometry required at the front of your RC vehicle compared to the rear, ensuring optimal angle and stress distribution throughout the drivetrain. Whether you're running your Mojave Grom on a smooth indoor track, a dusty outdoor RC course, or using it for casual bashing, these metal CVD drive shafts will withstand the demands placed upon them far more effectively than standard plastic components.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will these metal CVD drive shafts fit my ARRMA Mojave Grom? — Yes, these RCO metal CVD drive shafts are specifically engineered for the ARRMA Mojave Grom range. They are compatible with the MEGA 380 Brushed 4X4 small scale desert truck models in both blue and red, as well as the 1/16 RTA race kit version. However, they are not suitable for the brushless variants of the Mojave Grom, so please check your model type before purchasing.
• What is the advantage of upgrading to metal drive shafts from plastic? — Metal drive shafts offer substantially greater durability and strength compared to the standard plastic components. When you're bashing your RC car or racing competitively, the drivetrain experiences significant stress from acceleration, cornering, and rough terrain impacts. Metal CVD shafts distribute this stress more effectively and resist breaking or stripping threads, which means fewer repairs and more consistent performance from your Mojave Grom.
• Are these drive shafts difficult to install? — The RCO metal CVD drive shafts are designed as direct replacements for your factory components, using a straightforward one-piece design that simplifies installation. The spring clip retention system makes assembly and disassembly straightforward, requiring only basic RC maintenance knowledge and standard RC tools.
• Why are the front drive shafts longer than the rear ones? — The front and rear of an RC vehicle experience different geometric demands based on suspension travel, steering articulation, and weight distribution. The longer front shafts are engineered to suit the specific requirements of the Mojave Grom's front suspension and steering system, ensuring correct angles and optimal performance throughout the vehicle's suspension range.
• Can I use these metal drive shafts in racing or just for casual bashing? — These metal CVD drive shafts are suitable for both competitive racing and casual bashing. Their enhanced durability makes them particularly valuable in racing situations where reliability is critical, but they will also dramatically improve the longevity and performance of your Mojave Grom whether you're a weekend basher or a dedicated racer.
• What makes the spring clip design better than other retention methods? — The spring clip design is elegant in its simplicity and effectiveness. It securely retains the drive pin without adding unnecessary complexity, and it's easy to inspect and service during routine maintenance. This design philosophy is favoured by serious RC enthusiasts because it combines reliability with practical serviceability.
