TRAXXAS 1/10 Craniac Monster Truck Spring Steel Front Wheel Shaft by GPM CRA005S  [CRA005S]

Front wheel shaft for Craniac

This replacement front wheel shaft is an RC-scale part made for TRAXXAS 1/10 Craniac Monster Truck platforms and supplied under GPM part code CRA005S. It is intended as a direct-fit replacement for the front wheel mounting area and is listed as 1pr in the product name.

The component is described as spring steel which gives it a balance of flex and return properties useful for wheel retention and resisting repeated minor impacts common in monster truck running. In service it functions as the mechanical link between the wheel hex and steering/drivetrain interfaces, so material resilience matters for longevity under load.

Installation typically involves removing the wheel end assembly, swapping the worn or bent shaft with the replacement, and confirming concentric fit and axial play. After installation, check wheel runout and steering response before full throttle runs. This is a scale RC accessory meant for model-level maintenance and tuning, not for full-size applications.

For tuning, consider inspection of associated wheel hexes, bearings and suspension pivots when replacing shafts so the whole front-end retains correct geometry and minimal play.
