Overview
Replace the fragile factory plastic rear axles on your Traxxas Slash, Slash 4x4, Stampede 4x4, or Rustler 4x4 with the Hot Racing Lightweight Rear Splined CV Driveshafts. Built from CNC-machined #45 hardened carbon steel, S2 spring steel, and aluminum, these splined CV driveshafts deliver bulletproof drivetrain reliability without the weight penalty of a full-steel CV.
The splined design eliminates the breakage common to plastic stock axles, while the rubber dust boot keeps grit and debris out of the splined slider for long, trouble-free service. A must-have rear-axle upgrade for any 4x4 Slash, Stampede, or Rustler driver running brushless power or hitting the bash track hard.
