Axial Yeti XL Front CVD Steel 124mm with 8mm Hex Drive Shaft YTL124FS8 by GPM  [YTL124FS8]

Stiffer front CVD for Yeti XL

This aftermarket front CVD drive shaft is a direct-fit steel upgrade for Axial Racing Yeti XL drivers seeking increased durability in the front drivetrain. The 124mm #45 steel shaft with an 8mm wheel hex replaces the factory front CVD to reduce flex and improve resistance to wear during aggressive off-road use.

Fitting is straightforward for anyone familiar with Yeti XL front shaft replacements: remove wheel and hub, detach axle parts as required, then install the replacement ensuring splines engage correctly and bolts are tightened to factory torque settings. Only use thread locker where the original design prescribes it and verify wheel hex engagement prior to running.

As a tuning upgrade, the steel shaft raises drivetrain stiffness and helps maintain consistent wheel engagement over rough ground and under sudden throttle. Remember to consider suspension and diff setup so you do not transfer excessive shock loads to other components.

Opt for this GPM steel front CVD drive shaft to gain a tougher front driveline and more direct torque transfer on Axial Racing Yeti XL models, and monitor related parts for any change in wear characteristics.
