The SBJ039R steel rear wheel shaft is provided as an aftermarket replacement for HPI Baja assemblies. It functions as the rotating axle interface at the rear hub, delivering a robust mounting surface for the wheel and transmitting hub loads into suspension and drivetrain components.
Intended for practical upgrade and maintenance work, this shaft helps limit axial movement at the hub and promotes repeatable wheel alignment under dynamic loads. Verify mating surface tolerances and wheel hex clearances during assembly to secure correct runout and axial play.
Installation procedure: confirm correct seating in the rear hub and wheel hex, replace any fatigued retaining pins or set screws, and ensure bearing assemblies spin freely once installed. Regular inspection for wear and corrosion will maintain predictable chassis behaviour.
Use SBJ039R when a robust steel replacement shaft is required for HPI Baja rear hub systems; confirm dimensions prior to demanding use.
