Precision-oriented steel CVD shafts for LaTrax SST

The SST340S are steel #45 front and rear CVD shafts specified for use on the TRAXXAS 1/18 LaTrax SST platform. Supplied as a matched pair, these shafts are intended as direct replacements for softer or degraded originals, offering a robust drivetrain option for small-scale RC vehicles.

Installation occurs at chassis level and the shafts are made to align with LaTrax SST drivetrain geometry, using the vehicle's existing retaining hardware. During fitment verify gearbox and suspension clearances and confirm correct front and rear identification; trimming is rarely necessary for the stated model.

From a setup and maintenance viewpoint, steel #45 provides improved torsional stiffness and enhanced wear resistance compared with more compliant materials. Reduced deflection under load helps deliver consistent torque transfer and predictable handling. For optimal drivetrain efficiency use matching drive cups and routinely service bearings to limit friction and binding.

Is the SST340S a direct replacement for stock LaTrax SST shafts?

Yes. The SST340S is specified to replace both front and rear CVD shafts on TRAXXAS 1/18 LaTrax SST without chassis modification in normal installations.

What should be inspected when installing these shafts?

Inspect drive cups and bearings for wear, confirm axial and radial clearance, and ensure joints rotate freely across the full suspension travel to prevent binding.

How does steel #45 change drivetrain behaviour?

Steel #45 increases torsional rigidity and wear resistance, which reduces drivetrain flex and helps maintain consistent power delivery under load.

What is included in the package?

The product is supplied as a single pair intended to replace the front and rear CVD shafts on the stated model.
