GPM TRAXXAS LaTrax SST Steel Front/Rear CVD Shaft SST340S - RC Spare Part  [SST340S]

Heavy-duty steel CVD shafts for LaTrax SST

The SST340S is an aftermarket steel #45 front and rear CVD shaft designed for the TRAXXAS 1/18 LaTrax SST platform. It is offered as a direct-replacement drivetrain component for small-scale RC use, providing a sturdier option compared with stock plastic or softer metal drives. The package supplies one matched pair to cover both front and rear positions.

Installation focuses on chassis-level replacement; the shafts follow LaTrax SST drivetrain geometry and fit using the vehicle's existing retaining hardware. Verify clearance at the gearbox and suspension ends during fitment and confirm correct orientation for front and rear pieces. In most cases minimal trimming or modification is required when installed on the stated model.

From a setup perspective, steel #45 shafts increase torsional stiffness and wear resistance relative to softer materials. That added stiffness reduces driveshaft deflection under acceleration and during sharp steering, which can produce steadier throttle response and more predictable handling during practice runs. Pair these shafts with correctly sized drive cups and serviced bearings to prevent binding or extra friction in the drivetrain.

Recommended for hobbyists who want a durable replacement that supports more stable drivetrain behaviour and straightforward installation; always confirm fit on your vehicle before final assembly.
