GPM SSLA1280FST/JT Slash 4x4 Spring Steel Cup Joint for Front CVD  [SSLA1280FST/JT]

Replacement Front CVD Cup for Slash 4x4

The spring steel cup joint SSLA1280FST/JT is provided as an aftermarket replacement for the front CVD swing shaft on TRAXXAS Slash 4x4 trucks. It is intended to be a direct-fit hop-up for routine replacement where the original cup shows wear or deformation.

Manufactured from spring steel, the cup retains its mating profile under repeated articulation and torque, resisting the common flattening that causes looseness in the swing shaft assembly. Fitted correctly, it restores positive engagement and helps remove excessive play.

Replacement follows normal CVD maintenance steps: remove the front swing shaft assembly, assess and clean bearings and retaining parts, press the new cup into the yoke, and reassemble with the correct clips or screws. Maintaining bearing condition and correct fastener torque preserves the intended driveline behaviour.

As an upgrade choice, the spring steel cup does not alter suspension geometry or gearing but can sharpen driveline response by reducing backlash. Always confirm that the part number matches your Slash 4x4 front CVD configuration before fitting.
