GPM Racing Hardened Steel #45 Front CVD Drive Shaft with 12MMX6MM Wheel Hex - 8pcs Set for Traxxas 1/10 Slash 4x4 (SSLA1280FHST)

Precision front CVD assembly for Slash 4×4

This front CVD drive shaft set is specified as an aftermarket reinforcement for the TRAXXAS 1/10 Slash 4×4 front axle, delivering enhanced wear resistance and consistent rotational characteristics while preserving stock axle geometry. Components are produced from hardened steel #45, heat-treated for strength and finished to ensure consistent fitment into the CVD cage and spring-steel hex interface. The design focuses on repeatable engagement, minimized end-play and controlled articulation within standard knuckle clearances.

The retractable CVD geometry reduces interference in tight steering positions and allows the suspension rocker to move with less binding, improving predictability under load. The kit includes all small fasteners and O-rings required for reassembly so technicians can replace the shaft set without sourcing extra hardware.

Packing includes

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

What material treatments are used on these shafts?

Shafts are manufactured from hardened steel #45 and processed to achieve the toughness and surface finish necessary for reduced wear in high-load front axle service.

How does the spring-steel hex influence fatigue life?

The spring-steel hex provides a resilient interface that limits micro-movement at the wheel mount, lowering fretting and improving component life under repeated loading cycles.

Is the fit toleranced for direct assembly?

Yes. The parts are produced to meet fitment tolerances for the Slash 4×4 front assemblies and include the required pins and O-rings for correct reassembly.

Recommended inspection after installation?

Verify pin retention, hex engagement and confirm there is smooth articulation through full suspension travel; perform a follow-up check after the initial break-in runs. Write Product Review Please sign in your account before you can write any review. Sign In Close
