Axial Racing Yeti XL Steel #45 Rear Drive Shaft by GPM YTL237S  [YTL237S]

Rear drive shaft for Yeti XL

This steel #45 rear drive shaft is an RC-scale replacement part produced by GPM for use with Axial Racing Yeti XL models. It is intended as a direct-fit rear drivetrain component that restores drivetrain geometry and transmits torque from the gearbox to the rear wheels. The part is sold as 1 pcs and is suitable for routine maintenance or when upgrading worn stock shafts.

Installation notes: this shaft installs into the rear output and requires standard disassembly of the rear gearbox and suspension links. Check splines and retaining hardware from the original assembly, clean mating surfaces, and inspect走珠軸承 and seals during reassembly. Use the vehicle manufacturer’s service manual for torque and sequence; no additional machining is required for correct fit on Axial Yeti XL assemblies that use the same shaft form factor.

Tuning role: swapping to a steel #45 shaft restores stiffness and rotational durability compared with softer alloys, which can affect drivetrain lash and long-term wear under higher loads from stronger motors or aggressive gearing. For balanced handling, verify alignment with the rear axle and avoid overtightening retaining screws to reduce bearing preload.

Use this shaft when replacing worn rear drive components on Axial Yeti XL models or when restoring original drivetrain stiffness during setup changes.
