Key Features
- CNC-Machined Construction — Every driveshaft is manufactured using precision CNC machining, ensuring exact tolerances and consistent quality across every unit produced. This level of manufacturing precision eliminates the play and vibration associated with lower-quality components.
- Hardened Steel Material — The steel construction is hardened through specialist treatment, giving it superior resistance to wear, bending, and fatigue compared to softer materials. This hardening process extends the service life of the component significantly, protecting your investment in your RC car.
- 85.5mm Centre Rear Length — Precisely measured at 85.5mm from pin to pin outside dimension, this driveshaft is engineered for exact fitment in compatible Corally models. The specific length ensures proper suspension geometry and drivetrain alignment.
- 4.0-5.0mm Shaft Tube Diameter — The shaft tube features a carefully engineered diameter range of 4.0-5.0mm, providing the ideal balance between strength and weight whilst maintaining compatibility with standard Corally drivetrain components.
- 3x12.8mm Pin Dimension — The pins are precisely dimensioned at 3x12.8mm, ensuring rock-solid connection points that won't slip or wear loose during aggressive driving or high-speed runs.
- 7.8mm Ball End Diameter — The ball end measures exactly 7.8mm in diameter, providing optimal contact surface with your suspension components and ensuring smooth articulation without binding or excessive play.
- Single Piece Design — This is a complete, ready-to-install component requiring no assembly or adjustment. Simply remove the old driveshaft and bolt this one in place for immediate improvement in drivetrain performance.
- Genuine Corally OEM Part — As an official Team Corally manufactured component (part number C-00180-715), you're getting the exact same part that comes installed on new Corally vehicles, with the same quality standards and fitment guarantees.
Technical Performance
The Corally Driveshaft Centre Rear 85.5mm Steel represents the intersection of advanced engineering and practical motorsport performance. Manufactured from hardened steel and precision CNC-machined to exacting tolerances, this component is built to handle the demands of competitive RC racing and aggressive off-road bashing. The 85.5mm length positions it as a centre rear driveshaft, meaning it transfers power from the transmission to the rear axle assembly whilst maintaining perfect angles throughout the suspension travel. The shaft tube diameter of 4.0-5.0mm provides an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring that the driveshaft won't flex under load whilst keeping rotational inertia to a minimum for crisp throttle response. The 3x12.8mm pin dimensions and 7.8mm ball end create connection points that are virtually impossible to strip or deform, even during high-impact collisions or aggressive driving. The hardened steel construction means this driveshaft will outlast many other components on your vehicle, making it a cost-effective choice for serious RC enthusiasts who want to minimise downtime and maximise track or field time.

- Which Corally RC models is this driveshaft compatible with? — This centre rear driveshaft fits a wide range of Team Corally vehicles spanning from 2020 to 2022 models and newer. Compatible models include the Radix 6, Kronos, Python, Sketer, Kronos XTR, Spark6, Shogun, Muraco, Jambo, Dementor, Punisher, and the Spark XB6 6s Brushless Basher Buggy. Always check the full compatibility list against your specific model number before ordering to guarantee perfect fitment.
- When should I replace my RC driveshaft? — You should replace your driveshaft when you notice any of these symptoms: visible bending or warping, vibration or clunking noises during acceleration, difficulty maintaining straight-line tracking, or metal debris in your differential. Even if not damaged, driveshafts can wear gradually over hundreds of hours of use, so keeping a spare on hand is a smart move for serious RC car UK enthusiasts.
- Is this driveshaft suitable for beginners? — Yes, this is a straightforward replacement part that any RC car owner can install with basic tools. If your Corally model came equipped with this type of driveshaft originally, simply removing the old component and installing the new one takes only a few minutes. No special knowledge or expertise is required, making this an ideal spare part for beginners and experienced drivers alike.
- What makes a hardened steel driveshaft better than alternatives? — Hardened steel offers superior durability and resistance to fatigue compared to softer materials or aluminium options. Whilst aluminium might be lighter, hardened steel provides better resistance to bending under the loads experienced during aggressive driving, off-road bashing, and high-speed racing. The hardening treatment used in this driveshaft's manufacture creates a surface that resists wear from the ball joint connections, extending service life significantly.
- Will this driveshaft improve my RC car's performance? — If you're replacing a worn or bent driveshaft, yes — this component will restore smooth power delivery and eliminate vibration that compromises handling. Even as a preventative upgrade on a newer vehicle, a genuine Corally driveshaft ensures you're running the exact specifications that your vehicle was engineered for, maximising efficiency and reliability.
- How does the 85.5mm length affect my RC car's handling? — The driveshaft length is precisely engineered to match your suspension geometry and vehicle wheelbase. Using the correct length ensures proper angles at the suspension components and prevents binding or excessive play during suspension travel, which is critical for predictable handling through corners and over obstacles.
