The GPM K5168F/R axle protector is developed for the Vaterra 1/10 K-5 Blazer Ascender to provide targeted protection for both front and rear axles. Constructed from aluminium and engineered plastic, this unit reduces direct impact on axle housings and associated linkages.
The aluminium elements deliver rigid backing while plastic sections absorb shock and prevent direct transfer of energy to axle components. This combination aims to lower the risk of bent shafts and damaged seals under heavy use.
Manufactured to match the Vaterra K-5 Blazer Ascender mounting geometry, the GPM K5168F/R installs using standard fasteners and small hand tools, ensuring repeatable alignment and straightforward replacement.
As a practical upgrade, this protector extends service intervals by shielding vulnerable parts during off-road and trail use, helping hobbyists keep their rigs running with fewer repairs.
