Axial EXO Front CVD Replacement Shaft - EX297S by GPM  [EX297S]

Front CVD swing shaft details

This steel front CVD universal swing shaft is an RC-scale replacement intended for the Axial Racing EXO platform, referenced as model EX297S. It occupies the front driveline where CVD-style joints transfer drive while allowing suspension travel, and is supplied as a single replacement pair for service or upgrade tasks.

Install this part when you require increased bend resistance compared to softer stock alloys, or when refurbishing the front drive as part of routine checks. Removal of the hub assembly and associated retainers is normally required to access the CVD housings before replacing the shaft.

As an aftermarket steel option its aim is to reduce deflection under load and preserve steering input fidelity during heavy use. Typical fitting takes common hobby tools and careful attention to bearing seating and axle alignment to avoid binding in the joint.
