This rear CVD drive shaft assembly is a 12pcs kit designed for Traxxas Slash platforms. The assembly couples hardened 45# steel CVD internals with 6061 T6 aluminium interfaces to provide a balance of tensile strength and reduced mass for demanding short course conditions.
Technical summary: the CVD uses hardened 45# steel mated to 6061 T6 aluminium, knuckle arms are CNC-style 6061 T6 aluminium, and the axle is increased to a 6mm cross section to improve resistance to bending and impact loads. A spring-steel hex is specified to maintain secure torque transfer and the supplied bearings are chosen to minimise friction under radial and axial loads.
Included component summary as supplied: CVD + hex ×2 pcs, rear knuckle arm ×2 pcs, bearing 6x13x5 ×4 pcs, screw pin M4x2.5x11 ×2 pcs, set screw 3x3 ×2 pcs. The kit is intended for straightforward replacement or to support bespoke rebuilds with OEM-compatible interfaces.
Use this assembly when increased rear driveline durability and predictable handling under impact are required; validate fitment to your specific Slash variant prior to installation.
