LOSI 5IVE-TE 3.0 CVD Drive Shaft Upgrade 152mm Steel - 5T3/152F/RS by GPM  [5T3/152F/RS]

Steel CVD Upgrades for LOSI 5IVE Desert Trucks

This GPM aftermarket replacement set supplies front and rear constant velocity drive shafts engineered for LOSI 1/5 5IVE-series desert trucks. They are made from 4140 steel and measure a 152mm pin-to-pin length to match step-in dimensions while offering a heavier-duty cross section compared with some factory items.

Key hardware notes from the original data: the set replaces factory part LOS-3705, the dogbone diameter is increased to 8.5mm from the prior 7mm, and the locating pin feature has been removed to improve overall section strength. The pack supplies two CVD shafts intended as front and rear units.

Fitment and tuning role: these shafts suit 1/5 scale 4WD desert truck builds that need greater torsional capacity, such as when using larger motors, higher ESC output, or rough off-road conditions. During installation check wheel hex engagement and differential cup clearance to confirm full travel and avoid interference with suspension movement.

If you want a steel replacement set that keeps the original 152mm pin spacing while increasing cross-section thickness and removing the locating pin, this GPM kit meets those requirements; verify hub and diff cup fit before final assembly.
