Mugen MRX-5 front axle upgrade

This front axle shaft is a 1/8 scale RC part designed for the Mugen MRX-5 chassis and serves as the front CVD universal axle that links the wheel to the driveline. The AM-MRX5-H0271-Al is the 7075-T6 aluminium version and is supplied as a pair, intended to replace or upgrade the stock front universal axles.

Arrowmax lists this item in three material choices across the MRX-5 range: 7075-T6 aluminium for a balance of stiffness and lightness, spring steel for added durability, and titanium for a premium strength-to-weight option. This entry specifies the aluminium variant, chosen when a firmer front driveline feel is part of the setup plan.

Installation notes: the shaft functions as a front CVD that installs into MRX-5 front hubs and universal joints, so standard MRX-5 hub fitment and retention apply. Confirm clearance around the hub and CVD boots when fitting and make sure wheel hexes and set screws are correctly tightened before running.

Tuning role: fitting the 7075-T6 aluminium axle can sharpen steering feedback and increase driveline stiffness; use this upgrade when you want crisper front response, and monitor adjacent parts such as universals and wheel hexes for accelerated wear.

Specifications

  • Material: 7075-T6 aluminium
  • Model Number: AM-MRX5-H0271-Al

As the aluminium option in Arrowmax's MRX-5 range, this axle pair suits MRX-5 owners who want a firmer front driveline without stepping up to heavier steel parts; always check compatibility with your existing front hubs before purchase.

They are made for standard MRX-5 front CVD hubs; most aftermarket hubs that keep the same seating and retention will accept these axles, but verify dimensions and seating method before installing.
Yes, the package contains two pieces, covering the left and right front sides of the chassis.
7075-T6 aluminium offers a good mix of stiffness and lower mass, giving firmer steering feedback than spring steel while staying lighter than steel; titanium is lighter still with a higher cost.
Ensure axles seat fully in the hubs, torque set screws correctly, inspect CVD boots for clearance during suspension travel, and check universals regularly to avoid binding and early wear.
