Overview
Eliminate prop-shaft slop and bearing wear on your Traxxas DCB M41 Catamaran with the Hot Racing Aluminum Dual 5mm Bearing Drive Strut. CNC-machined from blue-anodized aluminum and equipped with two pre-installed stainless steel ball bearings, this drive strut delivers smooth, precise prop shaft support at the high RPMs reached by performance brushless boats.
The dual bearing design provides far better prop shaft alignment and support than the stock single-bearing drive strut, reducing vibration, extending bearing life, and delivering more consistent performance run after run. Built for the stock Traxxas 5729 flex shaft.
Key Features
- CNC-machined aluminum construction
- Blue anodized finish
- Pre-installed dual 5x10x4mm stainless steel ball bearings
- 5mm ID bearings compatible with stock prop shaft
- Direct replacement for factory drive strut
Performance Benefits
- Smoother prop shaft rotation at high RPM
- Better prop shaft alignment than single-bearing struts
- Reduced vibration extends bearing and shaft life
- Long-lasting stainless steel bearings resist marine corrosion
Usage Notes
Compatible with stock Traxxas 5729 flex shaft. Lubricate the bearings with marine-grade grease before installation. Inspect bearings after every few runs and re-lube as needed; saltwater use requires more frequent inspection and lubrication.
