GPM Racing Steel+Aluminium Front+Rear Universal CVD Drive Shaft for Losi Team Losi 1/8 LMT 4WD Solid Axle Monster Truck (LMT037SA)

Front and rear universal CVD shaft assembly

This precision kit supplies front and rear universal constant velocity drive shafts engineered for LOSI LMT 1/8 solid axle monster truck layouts. The component set combines high-strength steel with 6061 T6 aluminium to provide a balance of tensile durability and reduced rotating mass, while CVD swing joint geometry ensures consistent torque transfer through the drivetrain. Rubber dust boots are supplied to protect joint internals from contaminants encountered in off-road operation.

Critical dimensional data for integration and tuning is specified: collapsed length approximately 115 mm and extended length approximately 120 mm, giving an installation distance window of 115-120 mm for correct alignment at both axles. Components are intended for RC-scale drivetrains and allow routine serviceability via replaceable pins and boots.

Designed for hobbyists and modders seeking precision-engineered CVD links that improve driveline robustness without significant added unsprung weight, the kit supports straightforward maintenance and component replacement.

Packing includes

• Drive Shaft – 2pcs
• M4x3.0x12.5 Screw Pin – 4pcs
• Rubber Dust Boot – 4pcs

Original Name / Part No:

LOS242046

Compatible Models

• 1/8 LMT 4WD SOLID AXLE MONSTER TRUCK-LOS04022

Use this set for direct replacement of worn CVD shafts or as a targeted drivetrain reinforcement on LOSI LMT chassis where installation spacing and collapsed/extended lengths correspond to the vehicle geometry.

What tolerances should I check before fitting?

Measure the centre-to-centre installation distance with the suspension at midpoint; confirmed fitment requires the measurement to sit between 115 mm and 120 mm to avoid binding or excess play.

Which materials are used and why?

The assembly uses hardened steel at high-stress interfaces and 6061 T6 aluminium for arms to deliver strength where needed while controlling inertia in rotating elements.

How do I service the joints?

Remove and inspect pins for wear, replace damaged rubber dust boots, and apply a light, appropriate grease inside the CVD joint to limit abrasive wear during off-road use.

Are there upgrade paths for higher loads?

For heavier duty requirements consider specifying hardened pin sets or alternative steel alloys, but validate any dimensional changes against the 115-120 mm installation window to ensure correct geometry.
