Key Features
- Steel-splined constant-velocity design — The steel spline construction provides superior torque handling compared to plastic alternatives, allowing these driveshafts to transmit power more efficiently and reliably without slipping or stripping under load, which is essential for maintaining consistent performance during high-speed runs.
- 6mm stub axle diameter — The larger 6mm diameter offers increased strength and load-carrying capacity, providing enhanced durability and longer component lifespan when running high-torque brushless motors or aggressive driving styles that place extreme stress on the drivetrain.
- Sealed and lubricated U-joints — The outer U-joints feature protective rubber boots that seal in lubrication and keep out dirt, mud, water and other contaminants, meaning your driveshafts stay cleaner for longer and maintain smooth articulation even in challenging weather conditions or muddy terrain.
- Captive U-joint pins — The pins are held securely in place so you never have to worry about losing a pin during a run, eliminating one of the most frustrating aspects of maintaining RC cars and allowing you to focus on enjoying your hobby.
- Nickel-plated shafts — Gleaming nickel plating not only looks fantastic and gives your RC vehicle a premium custom appearance, but also provides additional corrosion resistance to help the shafts last longer when exposed to moisture or salt.
- Black silicone boots — The black rubber boots protecting the U-joints add a professional custom look whilst providing reliable sealing and protection against the elements, complementing the premium nickel-plated finish.
- Left or right fitment — These stub axles can be fitted to either the left or right front position, offering flexible installation options and making them a universal upgrade solution for compatible models.
- Pack of two — You receive two complete stub axles in this pack, providing everything needed for a complete front axle upgrade or replacement on compatible vehicles.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Stub axle, Front, 6mm represents professional-grade engineering in driveline components for RC cars, trucks and buggies used throughout the UK. The steel-splined constant-velocity (CV) construction is the gold standard for high-performance RC vehicles, offering superior torque transmission compared to plastic spline alternatives. The 6mm diameter stub axle is engineered to handle the extreme forces generated by modern brushless motors, whether you're running a 3S, 4S or higher LiPo battery system. The sealed and lubricated U-joints, protected by protective rubber boots, ensure that the driveshafts maintain smooth operation and efficient power delivery even in wet, muddy or dusty conditions. The captive pin design eliminates the risk of losing U-joint pins on the track or trail, reducing downtime and maintenance frustration. The nickel-plated finish provides both aesthetic appeal and additional corrosion resistance, extending component lifespan. These are genuine OEM Traxxas parts manufactured to exacting quality standards, ensuring perfect fitment and long-term reliability on compatible models. The two-piece pack format makes these ideal for complete front axle upgrades or emergency replacement of damaged components during competition or recreational driving sessions.
