More info

Traxxas CV Driveshafts are built to handle the extra horsepower and extreme articulation of T‑Maxx and Revo rigs. These steel constant‑velocity driveshafts use sealed, lubricated U‑joints and aluminum sleeves to keep axle pins secure while resisting dirt and moisture — a practical upgrade for drivers who push their trucks hard.

Key Features

  • Designed for high-power use on T‑Maxx and Revo models, engineered to withstand heavy loads and large suspension travel.
  • Inner and outer U‑joints come lubricated and sealed with rubber boots to keep grit and water out for longer service life.
  • Lightweight aluminum sleeves hold axle pins firmly in place while minimizing added rotating mass.
  • Nickel-plated steel shafts provide strong, wear-resistant axles that tolerate repeated impacts and torque spikes.
  • Blue silicone boots add a flexible, protective barrier around the joints for smooth operation under load.
  • Red-anodized aluminum accents give secure mounting points and clear visual identification on the drivetrain.
  • Machined to exacting dimensions so the shafts fit and perform consistently across compatible models.
  • Includes OptiDrive design features that improve engagement and drivetrain efficiency during aggressive driving.
  • Compatible with a wide range of Traxxas models, offering a direct upgrade path for many high-performance trucks.

Why Choose This Product

This steel CV driveshaft set is ideal for experienced hobbyists and weekend bashers who need stronger, longer‑lasting axles than stock parts provide. Traxxas CV Driveshafts cut downtime by resisting contamination and holding up to higher power levels, making them a sensible upgrade for heavy-use trucks and competition rigs.

Essential E-Revo Upgrade

WAY better than the stock axles on my E-Revo Brushless 1/10 scale. Running on 6S, I wrecked the original plastic ones fast, they just twisted up after a few runs. But these upgraded ones are holding up strong! The only prob I had was during high jumps w/ hard acceleration, the inner boot would sometimes pop off and the joint separated. I fixed it using small zip ties on the bigger part of the CV boot.

Solid After 3 Years

Been using the same set for 3 yrs w/out breaking any. I did slightly bend the front left shaft hitting a tree hard tho, but that's kinda expected. Plastic flexes, steel bends... I dont expect any driveshaft to survive a bad crash. My E-Revo's always running 6s, on motocross tracks and woods. **Make sure those ball joints in knuckles/axle carriers are screwed most way into a-arms. When I first got em, one shaft kept popping out bc the axle carriers weren't in far enough, overextending the shaft**
