Precision rear CVD swing shaft for Slash 4x4 applications
This machined steel rear CVD universal swing shaft is supplied as a precision aftermarket component for TRAXXAS SLASH 4X4 platforms. The assembly combines a hardened, turned steel shaft with a spring steel cup joint engineered to retain articulation under hobby-level torque while minimising permanent deformation.
Fitment and role: engineered to replace the OEM rear CVD swing shaft, this part reduces drivetrain flex and wear to improve repeatable power delivery during aggressive throttle inputs and suspension duty. The geometry is intended to interface with standard Slash 4x4 differential outputs and axle mounts without requiring changes to motor, ESC, or suspension geometry.
Installation notes: verify condition of pins and bearings before installation, orient the cup joint per recommended alignment, and apply correct torque to fasteners following Slash 4x4 factory values. Following installation, cycle suspension through full travel and hand-rotate the drivetrain to confirm smooth engagement and absence of binding.
Tuning and maintenance: for hobbyist performance upgrades, keep cup joints clear of contaminants, periodically inspect spline and cup for wear or play, and maintain light lubrication on spline interfaces to prolong service life.
