Axial Yeti Rear CVD Universal Swing Shaft (Steel #45) by GPM YT295S  [YT295S]

Rear CVD swing shaft for Yeti

This aftermarket rear CVD universal swing shaft is specified for Axial Yeti platforms and produced by GPM as model YT295S. It is an RC-scale drivetrain component made from Steel #45 with a spring steel cup joint, intended to replace or upgrade the rear CVD link between the gearbox output and the rear hub assembly on Yeti chassis.

Fit and function focus on delivering a direct mechanical replacement for factory plastic or softer-metal parts, giving a stiffer link that affects driveline play and responsiveness. The spring steel cup joint is meant to preserve articulation while using a harder shaft material for wear resistance under hobby-level loads.

Installation notes: this part installs in the rear CVD assembly and uses the same mounting points as the OEM Yeti rear CVD setup. Check the retained pin and e-clip locations during installation, confirm free rotation before final assembly, and verify that suspension travel does not bind against the shaft or cup joint.

Tuning role: hobbyists typically fit a harder rear CVD shaft to reduce slop and to achieve a more predictable throttle and traction response, especially when using stiffer suspension setups or higher-traction surfaces. Assess handling changes after installation and adjust drivetrain or suspension damping as needed.

For modelers seeking a stiffer rear driveline element on Axial Yeti cars, this GPM YT295S shaft offers a direct-fit steel option with a spring-steel cup designed to retain joint articulation while reducing play.
