Axial Yeti Rear Universal CVD Shaft Steel #45 YT295S performance upgrade for Yeti by GPM  [YT295S]

Rear CVD swing shaft built for Yeti use

This rear CVD universal swing shaft is intended for Axial Yeti platforms and is identified as model YT295S. It features a Steel #45 body together with a spring steel cup joint, serving as an aftermarket replacement for softer OEM rear CVD parts.

The component aims to reduce driveline play and improve responsiveness over stock plastic or softer metal shafts. The spring steel cup keeps the necessary joint movement while the steel shaft resists wear during normal hobby use.

Fitting advice: install into the rear CVD assembly using the original mounting points and retain the factory pin and e-clip locations. Confirm free spinning prior to final tightening and ensure full suspension articulation clears the shaft and cup.

Tuning context: a harder rear CVD shaft is often fitted to cut slop and produce more consistent traction response, especially with firmer suspension setups or high-traction surfaces. After installation, fine tune damping and alignment to suit your driving style.

For enthusiasts seeking a firmer rear driveline on Axial Yeti models, the YT295S shaft is a direct-fit steel option that preserves articulation while cutting play.
