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

Yeti XL rear shaft overview

This steel #45 rear drive shaft is a replacement part made for use with Axial Racing Yeti XL models. It serves as a direct-fit rear drivetrain component that restores geometry and transmits torque from the gearbox to the rear wheels. The item is supplied as 1 pcs and is suitable for routine maintenance or replacing worn stock shafts.

Installation notes: the shaft fits into the rear output and requires standard disassembly of the rear gearbox and suspension links. Inspect splines and retaining hardware from the original assembly, clean mating surfaces, and check 走珠軸承 and seals during reassembly. Follow the vehicle manufacturer service manual for torque values and assembly sequence; no additional machining is needed for correct fit on Yeti XL rear assemblies that share the same shaft form factor.

Tuning notes: switching to a steel #45 shaft restores torsional stiffness and long-term durability compared with softer alloys, which can influence drivetrain lash and wear under higher torque from stronger motors or aggressive gear ratios. For reliable operation, confirm alignment with the rear axle and avoid overtightening retaining screws to prevent excess bearing preload.

Use this shaft when renewing rear drive components on Axial Yeti XL rigs or when restoring original drivetrain stiffness during setup changes.
