Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a dogbone in an RC car and why would I need a replacement? — A dogbone (also called a drive shaft or CV shaft) is a critical drivetrain component that transmits power from your motor and gearbox to the wheels. During regular RC car use, especially in competitive racing or aggressive driving conditions, dogbones can wear, bend, or break due to impact or stress. Keeping replacement dogbones in your spares box ensures you can quickly repair your RC vehicle and minimise downtime between sessions.

However, we recommend checking your vehicle's specifications or consulting with our expert team at RC Model Shop to confirm compatibility with your specific model before purchasing.
• How often should I replace my RC car's dogbones? — The replacement frequency depends on your driving style, terrain, and how frequently you use your RC vehicle. Regular inspection is recommended; if you notice any play, clicking sounds, or visible damage, it's time to replace them. For competitive drivers or those who bash their RC cars frequently, keeping spare dogbones readily available is highly recommended.
