High-strength steel centre differential input shaft engineered for Axial Racing EXO drivetrains, designated EX041S and supplied as 1pr for direct replacement or performance-minded upgrades. The shaft is CNC finished to control spline tolerances and surface finish for consistent engagement within the centre differential.
Installation requires centre differential disassembly, precise spline alignment, correct bearing seating and verification of gear backlash; use calibrated tools and appropriate thread locking compounds where specified. This component is intended for scale RC drivetrain applications and should be fitted by technicians familiar with differential rebuild procedures.
In operation the shaft improves predictable torque transfer through the centre assembly and is chosen to reduce wear rates and extend service intervals compared to softer material alternatives.
