About this part

This is an optional Traxxas Front Steel Constant-Velocity Driveshaft Set, and is intended for use with the Traxxas Slash 4x4 and Stampede 4x4 1/10 scale trucks. Traxxas Steel Constant Velocity Shafts offer the ultimate in torque handling and efficient power transfer. The outer U-joints are lubricated and sealed by a rubber boot for maximum protection against the elements, and the U-joint pins are held captive so you never have to worry about losing a pin. Gleaming nickel-plated shafts and blue silicone boots add a custom look.

Nothing but problems with these. First time out all 4 boots shredded due to rpm parts not compatible. If boots tear the rest fall apart cuz the boot holds the pin. After ordering the repair kit and fixing them, first time out the shaft breaks right were the hex goes in the wheel. Not worth it if ur a brushless backyard basher like me. Good donut in the dirt and snap it was done. No jumps just bashing in the yard.13/54 gear proline trenchers brushless V motor.2s lipo

If you use them with a RPN front shock tower, you will need to remove some plastic just below the camber link mount on the tower to give clearance for the CV boots.

I have these on several of my trucks. Owned them for many years. They are excellent shafts for typical Traxxas basher applications. Even though they are 3x more expensive than the plastic, they are 10x better. If you are an extreme basher, i.e. thrasher, you may want MIP instead.

Halfshaft part not available in case of fealure. MIP supply hd shaft and parts are available separately, for less money. Good product but no good service.

What reviewers say

Reviews are mixed. Several owners praise the steel CV driveshafts as a strong upgrade over stock and heavy-duty plastic parts for typical basher use, and one notes that individual replacement parts (halfshafts, pin/boot kits, diff outputs) are available. Negative reviews, mostly from brushless or higher-power setups, report CV boots tearing, the pin and boot assembly failing, and shafts breaking at the hex end or U-joint after a few runs. One owner says a different brand is better for brushless or extreme bashing. One reviewer notes that clearance must be made by trimming plastic on an RPN front shock tower. One reviewer says replacement halfshaft parts were unavailable and suggests a competitor's product for less money.

  • + Strong upgrade over stock plastic shafts
  • + Suited to typical basher use
  • + Replacement parts available separately
  • − CV boots tear under brushless power
  • − Shafts break at hex or U-joint
  • − Requires trimming on RPN shock tower
  • − Halfshaft replacement reported unavailable
