Axial Yeti Compatible Rear CVD Shaft YT295S Steel #45 upgrade for Yeti by GPM  [YT295S]

Rear steel CVD link for Yeti platforms

This rear CVD universal swing shaft fits Axial Yeti cars and is supplied as model YT295S. Constructed from Steel #45 with a spring steel cup joint, the part is intended as an aftermarket replacement for softer factory rear CVD components.

The design aims to reduce drivetrain lash and improve mechanical feel compared with stock plastic or lower-grade metal shafts. The spring steel cup maintains necessary articulation while the stronger shaft material improves wear resistance under normal hobby use.

Installation tips: use the original mounting points in the rear CVD assembly and retain the OEM pin and e-clip positions. Confirm the shaft rotates freely before final tightening and ensure full suspension movement does not contact the shaft or cup joint.

Tuning notes: fitting a harder rear shaft is a common tweak to decrease slop and create more consistent throttle and traction behaviour, especially with firmer suspension settings or tackier surfaces. Test and adjust damping and alignment after fitting.

For drivers aiming for a firmer rear driveline on Yeti cars, the YT295S offers a simple steel swap with a spring-steel cup to keep articulation while tightening the driveline.
