Yeti XL Rear Drive Shaft Steel #45 YTL237S by GPM  [YTL237S]

Technical overview

This steel #45 rear drive shaft is a precision-engineered replacement intended for Axial Racing Yeti XL rear drivetrains. Manufactured to consistent dimensional tolerances, the part is a direct-fit component that restores correct drivetrain geometry and transfers torque from the gearbox to the rear axle. Supplied as 1 pcs, it addresses wear-related play while maintaining original form factor compatibility.

Service guidance: installation requires standard removal of the rear gearbox and suspension links. Verify spline engagement and the condition of retaining hardware, clean mating surfaces, and inspect 走珠軸承 and seals during reassembly. Consult the vehicle service manual for specified torque settings and assembly order. No additional machining is required when fitting to Yeti XL rear assemblies that use the same shaft profile.

Durability and setup: the steel #45 construction improves bending resistance and long-term wear compared with softer alloys, which helps maintain drivetrain lash under increased torque. For optimal service life, confirm rear axle alignment and avoid excessive fastener torque that could increase bearing preload.

Recommended for maintenance and drivetrain reinforcement on Axial Yeti XL assemblies where a like-for-like steel replacement is required.
