Slash 4x4 Spring Steel Cup Joint for Front CVD SSLA1280FST/JT by GPM  [SSLA1280FST/JT]

Aftermarket Front CVD Cup for Slash 4x4

This spring steel cup joint is supplied as SSLA1280FST/JT and serves as an aftermarket replacement for the front CVD swing shaft on TRAXXAS Slash 4x4 models. It is produced to be a direct-fit hop-up for the front driveline where cup joints are worn or need upgrading as part of regular maintenance.

Spring steel construction helps the cup retain its mating shape under repeated articulation and high torque loads typical of bashing and trail use. As a wear component, it restores engagement precision in the swing shaft assembly and helps minimise slop that develops with age.

Fitting is done using standard CVD service steps: remove the front swing shaft, inspect and clean bearings and retainers, press the replacement cup into the yoke, and reinstall the retaining clips or screws. Ensuring bearings are in good condition and fasteners are torqued correctly maintains predictable driveline behaviour.

In tuning terms, the cup provides a robust, low-compliance interface at the front CVD without changing suspension or gear ratios; drivers should expect firmer engagement and reduced drivetrain lash during spirited driving. Check compatibility with your exact Slash 4x4 front CVD part numbers prior to purchase.
