Key Features

• Maxx Duty Steel Core Construction — The steel core design provides exceptional strength and durability compared to standard driveshaft options, resisting flexing and twisting under high torque loads so you get consistent power transfer to the wheels even during aggressive acceleration and hard cornering.
• Universal Front or Rear Fitment — This driveshaft assembly is engineered to work on both the front and rear axles of the Maxx Slash, meaning one part number covers multiple positions on your vehicle, simplifying inventory and spares management.
• Left or Right Side Compatible — The design accommodates installation on either the left or right side of your RC truck, giving you maximum flexibility when replacing worn or damaged driveshafts without needing separate left and right specific variants.
• Fully Assembled and Ready to Install — Unlike component kits that require assembly, this driveshaft comes completely pre-assembled from the factory and ready to bolt straight onto your vehicle, saving you time and ensuring perfect factory alignment and balance.
• Includes Screw Pin — The assembly includes a screw pin for secure attachment, providing a reliable mechanical fastening solution that maintains driveshaft integrity under the high rotational forces generated by brushless motors.
• Genuine Traxxas Engineering — Manufactured by Traxxas, a leader in brushless RC technology and high-performance RC vehicles in the UK market, this component meets the same exacting quality standards as the original equipment fitted to new Maxx Slash trucks.
• OEM Replacement Part — Designed as a direct replacement for the original equipment driveshaft on Maxx Slash models, ensuring perfect fit, compatibility and performance without any modification or adjustment required.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Maxx Duty driveshaft assembly represents a significant step up in drivetrain reliability and performance for 1/8 scale brushless RC short course trucks. The steel core construction is specifically engineered to withstand the extreme torque loads generated by modern brushless motors in the 4WD Maxx Slash platform, which combines 6S LiPo power with a direct-drive transmission system. The driveshaft must handle rotational forces that, in real-world running conditions, can exceed the breaking point of cheaper alternative parts. By incorporating a robust steel core, Traxxas ensures that power delivery remains consistent from the motor through to the wheels, eliminating the power loss that occurs when standard driveshafts flex or twist under load. The assembly's fully pre-assembled construction means that critical tolerances have been set at the factory to Traxxas' exacting specifications, ensuring concentricity and balance that translates into smoother operation, reduced vibration and improved handling characteristics. The included screw pin provides secure retention and operates reliably through hundreds of running hours without loosening or requiring repeated adjustment. This component is designed to be a long-term investment in your RC truck's durability, reducing the frequency of drivetrain failures and allowing you to spend more time driving and less time troubleshooting mechanical issues.
