Overview
Eliminate driveshaft failures and add scale-realistic operation to your Axial or Tamiya scale crawler with the Hot Racing Steel Telescoping Center Driveshaft Set. CNC-machined from solid billet carbon steel, heat-treated, and finished in stealth black, these telescoping star-drive driveshafts replace the failure-prone stock plastic shafts with bulletproof steel components engineered for the toughest scale crawling and trail driving.
Each driveshaft features 35mm of telescoping travel (107-142mm extended range), perfectly accommodating the suspension articulation of long-travel scale crawler builds. The aluminum pin retainers keep everything locked in place during hard driving.
