GPM Racing Hardened Steel #45 Front Axle W. Alloy Body for Traxxas 1/10 Rustler 4x4 VXL-67076-4 (SRUS41280FH)

Front #45 hardened axle engineered for Rustler VXL

Purpose-built for TRAXXAS Rustler VXL 1/10 platforms, this front axle assembly transmits drive torque while maintaining front geometry under dynamic loads. The core uses a hardened #45 steel main shaft combined with a 6061 T6 aluminium alloy body to provide torsional resistance while reducing rotating inertia suitable for RC drivetrain demands.

Engineering details include a CVD configuration that sustains smooth rotation at steering angles, a telescoping body form to enhance ground clearance and articulation, and a spring steel hex insert to reinforce wheel interface under peak loads. These elements are implemented for scale RC operation and are not related to full-size vehicle use.

The supplied kit contains the following components for assembly and replacement of the stock front axle subassembly:

• CVD – 2 pcs
• Screw Pin M4x2.5×12 – 2 pcs
• 4×2.5 Silicone O-Ring – 2 pcs
• 3×3 Screw Shaft – 2 pcs

Fitment notes: the axle is manufactured to mate with the stock mounting and driveline locations on TRAXXAS 1/10 Rustler VXL variants. Inspect CVD seating and spline engagement, apply recommended lubrication and verify alignment during installation. The component is intended as a direct replacement or performance upgrade for hobby RC drivetrain systems.

• TRAXXAS Rustler 4X4 VXL

Does SRUS41280FH require setup changes to steering geometry?

Minor checks to toe and camber are recommended after installation to confirm the axle and CVDs do not alter alignment; adjustments should follow standard hobby setup procedures.

What maintenance steps preserve performance?

Regular inspection of CVD boots or seals, light lubrication of spline interfaces and prompt replacement of worn O-rings will maintain long term durability and consistent operation.

Are torque limits different with this axle?

The hardened #45 shaft increases resistance to twisting, but overall system torque limits remain dependent on motor, ESC and pinion selection; match drivetrain components appropriately for reliability.

What should I inspect during initial install?

Verify CVD seating, spline alignment, hex insert fit and that screw pins and O-rings are seated correctly. Apply grease where recommended and confirm smooth rotation through full steering travel. Write Product Review Please sign in your account before you can write any review. Sign In Close
