Whether you're a seasoned RC car UK competitor or a weekend basher enjoying high-speed runs across challenging terrain, this spare part provides crucial protection for one of your RC model's most vital drivetrain components. The transparent design allows you to monitor the driveshaft condition whilst keeping it safely enclosed.
Designed and manufactured by Traxxas, this centre driveshaft cover is engineered to fit perfectly on a range of their popular ready to run RC vehicles, including the renowned Slash Ultimate 4x4 VXL and Ford Raptor R 1:10 Pro Scale models. If you're investing in a high-quality brushless RC short course truck or any compatible Traxxas platform, protecting your drivetrain with genuine OEM parts like this cover is a smart maintenance decision that will extend the life of your RC car UK investment.
Customers who have purchased this cover praise its extended length, which provides comprehensive protection along the entire driveshaft back to the motor mount. This full-coverage design ensures maximum protection of critical drive components during intense driving conditions, making it an invaluable addition to your RC spare parts collection.
Key Features
- Extended Length Design — This centre driveshaft cover extends all the way back to the motor mount, providing complete protection for the entire driveshaft rather than just a portion of it. This comprehensive coverage shields more vulnerable components from dirt, mud and impacts that could otherwise compromise drivetrain performance and longevity.
- Clear Polycarbonate Construction — The transparent clear material allows you to visually inspect the driveshaft and internal mechanisms without removing the cover. This transparency is invaluable for quick maintenance checks, troubleshooting and monitoring wear patterns during your RC driving sessions.
- Genuine OEM Traxxas Component — As an authentic Traxxas spare part, this cover is engineered to exacting standards and fits perfectly with compatible models. Using genuine manufacturer parts ensures proper fitment, durability and compatibility with your specific RC vehicle.
- Multiple Model Compatibility — This cover is designed to work with a comprehensive range of Traxxas models including the Ford Raptor R 1:10 Pro Scale 4WD Brushless Replica Truck, Slash Ultimate 4x4 VXL 1:10 4WD Brushless Short Course Truck, and various colour variants of the Slash VXL including orange, red, blue and green versions. This broad compatibility makes it a valuable spare for collectors with multiple Traxxas vehicles.
- Essential Drivetrain Protection — The centre driveshaft is a critical component that transfers power from the motor and transmission to the wheels. Protecting this vital part from water, mud, sand and debris extends component lifespan and helps maintain consistent performance during wet weather driving or dusty conditions.
- Affordable Spare Part Solution — At an RRP of £4.95, this protective cover represents excellent value for money as a genuine OEM replacement or upgrade component. It's an inexpensive way to significantly improve the longevity and reliability of your RC model's drivetrain system.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Centre Driveshaft Cover TRX6841 is precision-engineered from clear polycarbonate material that balances transparency with durability and impact resistance. The extended design provides full-length protection from the transmission through to the motor mount area, creating a complete protective barrier around critical drivetrain components. This design approach addresses a key maintenance issue for RC enthusiasts running their vehicles in challenging conditions — the centre driveshaft is constantly exposed to dirt, mud, water and potential impact damage during off-road driving. The clear material maintains visibility whilst the protective shell absorbs impacts and keeps contamination away from the driveshaft bearings and universal joints. For owners of 1/10 scale brushless RC vehicles like the Slash VXL and Slash Ultimate 4x4 models, this cover represents a genuine OEM solution that maintains factory fitment and aesthetic appeal whilst providing substantial practical benefits. The cover's compatibility across multiple Traxxas platforms, from short course trucks to pro-scale replica trucks, demonstrates Traxxas's modular engineering approach to spare parts and upgrades.
