TRAXXAS 1/10 Craniac Front Wheel Shaft CRA005S technical spare by GPM  [CRA005S]

Technical overview

This replacement front wheel shaft is produced for TRAXXAS 1/10 Craniac Monster Truck platforms and identified by part code CRA005S. It is supplied as a direct-fit front wheel mounting spare and appears as 1pr in the product listing.

Constructed from spring steel, the shaft is specified to provide controlled flex and return characteristics that aid wheel retention and resist repeated small impacts common in monster truck operation. Its role as the mechanical interface between wheel hex and steering/drivetrain means material behaviour under cyclic loads is key to service life.

Fitting procedure typically requires removal of the wheel end assembly, replacement of the damaged shaft, and verification of concentric fit and axial play. Post-install checks should include wheel runout and steering response before extended high-load usage. This component is intended for model-level maintenance and tuning tasks only.

During replacement, inspect related wheel hexes, bearings and suspension pivots to ensure the front-end retains correct geometry and minimal play for consistent handling.
