TRAXXAS 1/10 Craniac Front Wheel Shaft CRA005S by GPM  [CRA005S]

Craniac front wheel shaft

This replacement front wheel shaft is an RC-scale part made for TRAXXAS 1/10 Craniac Monster Truck platforms and supplied under part code CRA005S. It is intended as a direct-fit replacement for the front wheel mounting area and is listed as 1pr in the product name.

The component is specified as spring steel, providing a controlled amount of flex and reliable return for wheel retention and to withstand repeated small impacts typical of monster truck running. In service the shaft links the wheel hex to steering and drivetrain interfaces, so the material's resilience affects service life under load.

Installation normally requires removing the wheel end assembly, replacing the bent or worn shaft with the new unit, and confirming concentric fit and acceptable axial play. After fitting, check wheel runout and steering response before carrying out high-speed runs. This is a model-level accessory intended for RC maintenance and tuning only.

When you replace the shaft, inspect the mating wheel hexes, bearings and suspension pivots to ensure the front-end geometry remains true and free of excess play.
