Technical Performance
The TRX10255 driveshaft is engineered specifically for the Traxxas Maxx Slash 1/8 scale 4WD 6S brushless short course truck platform. This truck represents one of the most advanced short course racing platforms available in the RC hobby UK market, delivering powerful brushless motor performance through a sophisticated 4WD drivetrain system.

The splined design allows for secure connection whilst accommodating minor angular variations that occur during suspension articulation.
