Mugen MRX-5 Front Axle Shaft 7075-T6 AM-MRX5-H0271-Al by Arrowmax  [AM-MRX5-H0271-Al]

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.

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.
