This GPM aftermarket set is a front and rear constant velocity drive shaft replacement for LOSI 1/5 5IVE-series desert trucks. Components use 4140 steel and the pin-to-pin length is 152mm to align with the chassis step-in points while offering a more robust cross section than some factory parts.
Notes from the specification: the set is listed as a replacement for factory part LOS-3705, the dogbone diameter is enlarged to 8.5mm from 7mm, and the locating pin has been removed to improve section strength. The package includes two CVD shafts for front and rear positions.
Fitment guidance: these shafts are intended for 1/5 scale 4WD desert truck applications needing higher torsional capacity, such as when using larger motors or aggressive ESC settings on rough terrain. During installation confirm wheel hex and differential cup engagement to ensure full travel and prevent interference.
If your goal is to retain the 152mm pin spacing while increasing the shaft cross section and removing the locating pin, this GPM set provides those attributes; confirm hub and diff cup compatibility prior to final assembly.
