TRAXXAS XO-1 front CVD drive shaft by GPM SXO1280FHA  [SXO1280FHA]

Front CVD drive shaft for XO-1

This RC-scale front CVD drive shaft set is designed for the TRAXXAS XO-1 platform and supplied by GPM under model SXO1280FHA. It replaces the factory front half-shafts and is intended to assist the front gearbox in turning the wheels while offering a sturdier alternative to stock parts.

Construction combines stainless steel 304 for the axle joints with a 6061-T6 aluminum body, keeping weight low while improving tensile strength. The joint design places the coupling inside the axle body and uses silicone o-rings at the joint interface to reduce impact transmitted to the CVD on hard landings. The shafts are produced slightly thicker than original parts to extend service life without changing basic fitment geometry.

For hobbyists focusing on handling and durability, these shafts act as a direct hop-up: they maintain OEM fit while offering improved resistance to wear and corrosion on the joint surfaces. The set is supplied in multiple anodized colors from the manufacturer, allowing for simple visual customization during rebuilds or upgrades.

Use these shafts as a direct replacement when servicing the front drivetrain on TRAXXAS XO-01 scale models; they are intended to improve joint durability and reduce shock transfer to the CVD assembly without requiring chassis modification.
