This aluminium main shaft fitted with hardened steel end fittings is supplied as an aftermarket replacement for TRAXXAS Telluride 4x4 models. The configuration pairs a lightweight aluminium shaft body with hardened steel terminations to ensure wear concentrates at replaceable interfaces with gears and bearings, supporting longer service intervals and predictable wear patterns.
Supplied as a single pcs component, the part is intended to fit the Telluride 4x4 platform noted in the specifications. Professional installation requires removal of the gearbox or axle housing to access the original main shaft, accurate shaft exchange, and verification of gear mesh and bearing alignment. Fine adjustments to spur and pinion spacing or bearing preload are often necessary to restore nominal drivetrain clearance and minimise noise.
During assembly ensure the hardened ends are fully seated in the bearing bores and that axial play is controlled within manufacturer tolerance. Conduct an initial low-load run to verify smooth rotation and absence of endplay or binding. Scheduled inspections of the hardened terminations and adjacent bearings will identify early wear and protect downstream gear components.
Recommended for technicians and experienced hobbyists replacing worn shafts or upgrading drivetrain durability on TRAXXAS Telluride 4x4 models; validate fit and mesh during installation.
