Front CVD shaft made for MRX-5 tuning

Designed for 1/8 scale Mugen MRX-5 cars, this front axle shaft serves as the CVD universal axle that transmits drive to the front wheels. The AM-MRX5-H0271-Al edition is manufactured from 7075-T6 aluminium and is sold as two pieces to replace the stock front universal shafts.

Arrowmax supplies MRX-5 axles in three material types: 7075-T6 aluminium for reduced weight with added stiffness, spring steel where impact resistance is prioritised, and titanium for high performance weight savings. This listing details the aluminium variant, popular when a firmer front driveline is desired during setup changes.

Fitting notes: this axle plugs into MRX-5 front hubs and universal joints using the standard MRX-5 retention methods. Check hub clearance and CVD boot fit during installation and confirm wheel hexes and grub screws are secure before the first run.

Setup impact: moving to a 7075-T6 aluminium axle can tighten steering feel and increase driveline rigidity; monitor universal joints and wheel hexes for wear as the surrounding components may see different load patterns.

Specifications

  • Item: Front axle shaft for universal, 2 pcs
  • Material: 7075-T6 aluminium

This aluminium option from Arrowmax is a sensible middle ground for MRX-5 drivers seeking firmer front response without the added mass of steel; double-check hub compatibility before purchasing.

Yes, provided your hex and set screw arrangement matches the MRX-5 standard; confirm the hex seating depth and screw clearance to avoid interference.
The product is supplied as two pieces meant for both front sides, so you receive the left and right shafts together.
Expect a firmer, more direct steering sensation at low speeds due to increased driveline stiffness; small trim changes to toe or preload may be needed.
Regularly inspect the universals and boots for signs of rubbing, check set screw tightness after initial runs, and keep an eye on adjacent plastic parts for wear.
