TRAXXAS MINI XRT VXL 3S 4140 Carbon Steel Front & Rear Driveshafts XRTM6162 by GPM  [XRTM6162]

Front and rear 4140 driveshaft kit for MINI XRT

This replacement kit fits the TRAXXAS MINI XRT VXL 3S and includes front and rear 4140 carbon steel driveshafts together with matching drive cups and set screws. The CVD-style dog bone assemblies are specified to deliver steady torque transfer for 1/24-1/18 scale RC drivelines in hobby-grade use.

The shafts are treated with a black hardening finish to increase surface wear resistance and durability compared with common stock CVD parts. The CVD layout supports wider steering angle travel while maintaining engagement through suspension motion, helping to retain drive contact during cornering and on rough surfaces.

Supplier dimensions list the front dog-bone end-to-midpoint at 62mm and the rear at 61mm, with the components intended to install at the front and rear CVD locations. All hardware is supplied pre-assembled, and medium-strength threadlocker is recommended on the set screws to secure the couplers for normal hobby operation.

Installation advice: confirm fitment on your MINI XRT VXL 3S before final assembly, torque set screws to the factory values for CVD couplers, and check clearance with suspension travel and hubs during the first fitment.

As a direct-fit aftermarket option for the TRAXXAS MINI XRT VXL 3S, the 4140 carbon steel driveshaft set prioritizes greater wear resistance and stable driveline engagement under increased steering angles and suspension travel, making it a practical maintenance and light tuning upgrade.
