Axial Racing Yeti XL Rear Drive Shaft Steel #45 Replacement YTL237S by GPM  [YTL237S]

Rear drive shaft summary

This steel #45 rear drive shaft is supplied as an aftermarket replacement for Axial Racing Yeti XL models. It is a direct-fit rear drivetrain piece that reinstates correct geometry and transfers torque from the gearbox to the rear wheels. The unit is sold as 1 pcs and is intended for scheduled maintenance or replacing fatigued original shafts.

Fitting notes: the shaft locates into the rear output and requires the usual removal of the rear gearbox and suspension linkages. Confirm spline engagement and retaining hardware from the original assembly, clean mating surfaces, and inspect 走珠軸承 and seals while reassembling. Refer to the vehicle service documentation for torque values and assembly sequence; additional machining is not expected on compatible Yeti XL rear assemblies.

Performance effects: using a steel #45 shaft restores torsional stiffness and enhances resistance to bending relative to softer alloys, which can lower drivetrain lash and extend service life under higher motor torque or aggressive gearing choices. Ensure correct alignment and avoid excessive screw torque to reduce bearing preload and wear.

Replace worn rear drive components with this shaft to recover handling predictability on Axial Yeti XL models or when strengthening the drivetrain during tuning.
