Axial Racing Yeti XL Steel #45 Front CVD Drive Shaft 124mm with 8mm Wheel Hex by GPM YTL124FS8  [YTL124FS8]

Front CVD Drive Shaft for Yeti XL

This aftermarket front CVD drive shaft is a direct-fit RC-scale accessory designed for Axial Racing Yeti XL owners who need a durable steel option for front drivetrain duties. It replaces the stock front CVD hardware with a 124mm steel #45 shaft that includes an 8mm wheel hex, aiming to improve torsional strength and resistance to wear under high-load off-road driving.

Installation is typical of front CVD swaps on Yeti XL platforms: remove the wheel and hub assembly, detach the axle components as needed to free the stock shaft, and install the replacement aligning the splines and securing fasteners to factory torque values. Use thread locker only where the original design specifies and verify wheel hex fit before final runs.

As a tuning item, this steel shaft increases drivetrain stiffness and can reduce flex under heavy acceleration or rough terrain, which helps maintain consistent wheel engagement and steering feedback. Balance upgrades with suspension and diff setup to avoid transferring excessive shock loads to other components.

Use this GPM steel front CVD drive shaft when seeking increased front-end drivetrain durability and more direct power transfer on Axial Racing Yeti XL scale rigs, while watching for changes in component wear patterns after the upgrade.
