Whether you're maintaining your FMS 1:10 F100 or upgrading your existing RC car setup, this CVD drive shaft set delivers reliable performance and durability. CVD (Constant Velocity) drive shafts are a critical component in any RC car's drivetrain, responsible for transmitting power from the transmission to the wheels whilst accommodating suspension movement and steering angles. This premium-quality part set ensures smooth power delivery and reduces vibration during acceleration and cornering.
Designed specifically for the 1:10 F100 platform, this drive shaft set represents excellent value for money at just £19.49. Whether you're a seasoned RC car racer, a weekend basher, or someone discovering the thrills of RC motorsport for the first time, having quality drive shaft components in your spares box is essential. The CVD design provides superior performance compared to standard drive shafts, offering better handling characteristics and improved durability under load. If you're running a competitive 1/10 RC car or simply want to keep your beloved model in top condition, this is a worthwhile investment.
RC car maintenance is an integral part of the hobby, and drive shafts are components that require regular inspection and occasional replacement due to the stresses they endure during high-performance driving. Having genuine FMS replacement parts on hand means you'll spend less time waiting for parts and more time enjoying your RC car UK experience. This drive shaft set is ideal for those who take their RC vehicles seriously and understand the importance of maintaining quality components for optimal performance and longevity.

Technical Performance
The FMS CVD Drive Shaft Set represents the engineering excellence expected from FMS Hobby, a manufacturer recognised for producing quality RC cars and replacement components. CVD drive shafts are engineered to handle the complex demands of modern RC car performance, where suspension movement and steering inputs would cause excessive wear on inferior drive shaft designs. The constant velocity joint allows the drive shaft to transmit power smoothly even when the suspension is compressed or extended, and when the wheels are turned at various steering angles. This design is particularly important in 1/10 scale RC racing and bashing, where aggressive driving styles, high-speed cornering, and dynamic suspension movement are common. The material selection and manufacturing precision ensure that these drive shafts maintain their integrity under the repeated stress cycles experienced during intense driving sessions. Whether you're running on tarmac tracks, loose gravel, or challenging off-road terrain, a quality CVD drive shaft set like this one will provide the durability and performance you need to keep your 1/10 scale RC car running at its best. Regular inspection of drive shafts is recommended for high-performance drivers, as they are consumable components that may eventually require replacement after extended use.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a CVD drive shaft and why does my RC car need one? — A CVD (Constant Velocity) drive shaft is a component that transmits power from your RC car's transmission to the wheels whilst accommodating suspension movement and steering angle changes. Unlike standard drive shafts, CVD units maintain consistent power delivery across all suspension positions and steering angles, resulting in smoother handling, reduced vibration, and improved overall performance. They are essential components for any serious RC car enthusiast.
- Will this drive shaft set fit my FMS 1/10 F100? — Yes, this drive shaft set is specifically engineered for the FMS 1:10 Ford F-100 platform and will fit perfectly without any modification required. If you own any variant of the FMS 1:10 F100, this is the correct replacement or upgrade component.
- How often should I replace my drive shafts? — The lifespan of drive shafts depends on how frequently and intensively you drive your RC car. With regular inspection during maintenance, you'll be able to identify wear before failure occurs. Having a spare set on hand is always recommended for racers and serious enthusiasts, allowing you to get back on track quickly without waiting for replacements.
- What is the difference between CVD drive shafts and standard drive shafts? — CVD drive shafts feature constant velocity joints that allow them to transmit power smoothly across various angles and suspension positions. Standard drive shafts cannot accommodate these changes as effectively, resulting in more vibration, uneven power delivery, and faster wear. The CVD design is the superior choice for performance-oriented RC car driving.
- Is this a complete drive shaft assembly or do I need additional parts? — This is supplied as a complete set containing all the drive shaft components necessary for your FMS 1:10 F100. You should not require any additional parts to install this set, assuming your vehicle is in standard configuration.
