Reduced-mass front middle shaft summary

The XRAY 345711 front middle shaft is a precision RC replacement made from HUDY Spring Steel, designed for drivers seeking lower rotating mass while keeping robust contact surfaces.

CNC-machined and trimmed down by 55% relative to the standard #XR-345710 front middle shaft, the component maintains core strength with reduced inertia. Surfaces that contact bearings receive a quality finish to resist wear and lengthen service life.

Installed as part of setup work, the lightweight shaft helps reduce rotational load without compromising durability, enabling more consistent vehicle behaviour when accelerating and through demanding corners on the track.

Which alloy is used to make the shaft?

Manufactured from HUDY Spring Steel and finished after CNC machining to ensure strength where bearings contact the shaft.

What is the percentage weight saving versus the stock shaft?

The design is reduced by 55% in mass compared to the standard #XR-345710, resulting in noticeably lower rotating inertia.

Does this change how the car handles in corners?

Lower rotating mass contributes to crisper transient response and can make handling feel more stable during mid-corner transitions and throttle application.

Is this compatible with modern RX models?

This part is specified for older RX series parts; confirm compatibility with your chassis version before ordering.
