Traxxas Slash Steel CVD Drive Shafts Front & Rear

High Performance Low Friction CVD Drive Shafts

Upgrade your Traxxas Slash, Rustler, Stampede, Hoss, and other compatible 1/10 scale models with this complete set of hardened steel CVD drive shafts for the front and rear. These high performance, low friction CVD drive shafts are built to help your RC car roll smoother, handle power better, and reduce unnecessary binding in the drivetrain.

These Traxxas Slash steel CVD drive shafts are a strong upgrade over standard plastic drive shafts, especially for drivers who bash, race, jump, or run brushless power. The CVD design helps deliver smoother power transfer to the wheels while reducing the chance of the drive shafts binding against suspension arms, links, or nearby components.

When drive shafts bind, the drivetrain has to work harder. That extra resistance can put more stress on the front and rear differentials, motor, bearings, and other drivetrain parts. By reducing binding and improving drivetrain efficiency, these low friction CVD drive shafts can help your car roll smoother and may help extend the life of your differentials and motor.

Compatible with both electric and nitro models, where fitment matches the standard 5mm shaft configuration.

Installation Tip:
Before running your vehicle, make sure the pin retainer area on the driveshaft is fully seated and secure. As with most high-performance CVD-style driveshafts, it’s a good idea to inspect this area during installation and routine maintenance. For added security, we recommend applying a small piece of heat shrink tubing over the retainer area to help keep everything firmly in place during hard bashing or high-speed runs.

Important Fitment Note: Standard 5mm Models

This listing is for the standard 5mm configuration.

If you are looking for the Extreme Heavy Duty / EHD configuration, we also carry these in the EHD version. The EHD setup is different and is intended for models using the larger heavy-duty drivetrain configuration.

For Extreme Heavy Duty models, please see our Traxxas EHD CVD Drive Shafts.

Built For Smooth Power Transfer

A good set of drive shafts can make a noticeable difference in how your RC car feels. These Traxxas Slash 4×4 drive shafts help the car roll more freely by reducing the possibility of the drive shafts binding with linkage, suspension arms, or other nearby parts.

Less binding means better drivetrain efficiency. Better efficiency means less unnecessary stress on your motor, differentials, and drivetrain parts.

For drivers upgrading their Slash, Rustler, Stampede, or Hoss, this is a smart durability and performance upgrade.
