Overview and Use

These 44mm shafts are intended for double-Cardan suspension assemblies found in TRF-inspired hop-up configurations and standard 1/10 touring cars. Sold in a two-piece set, they act as direct spares or replacements where double-Cardan joints are required. The 44mm measurement is essential for matching the designed spacing between cardan cups.

Installation locations

Install these shafts where a double-Cardan connection links the gearbox output to wheel hubs or intermediary couplings. They are useful in tuned TRF-style touring chassis to maintain free joint movement and reduce uneven wear when hubs and cups are correctly aligned.

Compatibility checklist

  • Suited to TRF hop-up style applications and general 1/10 touring layouts that use double-Cardan couplings.
  • Confirm the 44mm length equals the distance between your cardan cups or hub interface prior to fitting.
  • Best used as replacements after visible wear or damage; check joint ends for fit and integrity.

Maintenance and lubrication

  • Verify cup clearance so joints are not pre-loaded at operating angles.
  • Use appropriate greases on joint interfaces to limit wear and check regularly for looseness or corrosion on drivetrain parts.
  • Replace both sides to maintain equal drive length and balance across the axle.
They will work if your hub spacing and joint end shape match the shafts. Always measure the cup spacing to ensure it is 44mm and verify the joint end profile matches the cups.
Applying suitable grease at the joint interfaces is recommended to reduce friction and extend service life, especially under frequent or aggressive running.
Modifying shaft length is not advised because the 44mm spec is chosen to preserve geometry. If a different length is required, source the correct size rather than cutting these shafts.
Look for play in the joints, worn or rounded ends, corrosion, or bending. Any of these indicate you should replace the shafts to avoid driveline issues.
