TRAXXAS Slash 4x4 Rear Widened CVD Drive Shaft with Knuckle Arm by GPM SSLA1277RH22  [SSLA1277RH22]

Rear widened CVD drive shaft for Slash 4x4

This is an RC-scale rear CVD drive shaft assembly designed for Traxxas Slash platforms, supplied as a 12pcs set by GPM. The unit pairs hardened steel components with 6061 T6 aluminium to balance strength and weight for off-road short course duty.

Key engineering points taken from the product details: the CVD uses hardened 45# steel mated to aluminium 6061 T6, the knuckle arms are 6061 T6 aluminium, and the axle section is thickened to 6mm to help absorb landing and high-speed impacts. A spring-steel hex is fitted to stabilise the hex interface and special bearings are provided to ensure smoother rotation under load.

Included component summary as supplied: CVD + hex ×2 pcs, rear knuckle arm ×2 pcs, bearing 6x13x5 ×4 pcs, screw pin M4x2.5x11 ×2 pcs, set screw 3x3 ×2 pcs, forming a complete rear assembly ready for fitment or rebuild tasks.

The part functions as a durability and handling upgrade for RC tuning: thicker axle sections and hardened materials reduce flex and failure risk from jumps and rough surfaces, while the aluminium knuckles lower unsprung weight compared with all-steel alternatives.

Use this assembly when you need strengthened rear drive components for aggressive short course running, and verify fitment against your Slash variant before installation.
