Axial EXO Front CVD Steel Swing Shaft - EX297S by GPM  [EX297S]

Overview of Front CVD swing shaft

This steel front CVD universal swing shaft is an RC-scale replacement part intended for the Axial Racing EXO platform, model EX297S. It fits the front driveline where CVD-style joints transmit torque while allowing suspension movement, and is supplied as a single replacement pair to swap out worn or damaged stock shafts.

Choose this steel shaft when you want greater resistance to bending than stock alloy pieces, or when refreshing the front drive as part of routine upkeep. Fitting requires basic front axle disassembly; remove the hub assembly and associated retaining hardware to access the CVD housings and change the shaft.

As an aftermarket steel option, it reduces under-load deflection in the front driveline and helps keep steering inputs consistent under load. Installation generally uses standard hobby hand tools and careful bearing and axle alignment to prevent binding in the CVD joint.
