TRAXXAS LaTrax SST Replacement Steel CVD Shaft SST340S by GPM  [SST340S]

1/18 LaTrax SST steel CVD drive shafts

The SST340S is an aftermarket steel #45 front and rear CVD shaft tailored for the TRAXXAS 1/18 LaTrax SST chassis. It serves as a straightforward direct replacement for worn or softer drives, supplied as a pair to cover both axle ends on small-scale vehicles.

Fitment is intended at the chassis level and the shaft aligns with LaTrax SST drivetrain layout, using the existing retainer hardware from the vehicle. Check for adequate clearance around the gearbox and suspension mounts during installation and confirm correct front and rear orientation. Most builds require no major modification to fit.

Steel #45 shafts prioritise torsional stiffness and reduced wear versus pliant materials. That stiffness helps keep drivetrain deflection low under load and during aggressive steering, which supports consistent throttle behaviour and predictable traction. Combine these shafts with matched drive cups and maintained bearings to avoid extra friction or binding.

A practical upgrade for hobbyists seeking greater drivetrain durability and steadier power transfer; always trial-fit parts to your vehicle before final assembly.
