High-strength CVD shafts for LOSI 1/5 desert truck platforms

This aftermarket set upgrades the stock LOS-3705 and LOS-3674 front and rear drive shafts with a 4140 steel constant-velocity assembly made for LOSI 1/5 5IVE-TE and 5IVE-TG models. The shafts are specified at 152mm pin center-to-center and include a reinforced dogbone section to reduce flex under load. The locating pin feature from the OEM parts has been removed to create a more robust joint interface.

Designed as direct-fit replacements for the referenced LOSI vehicles, installers should confirm driveline alignment and proper angles to prevent binding and check hub set screw torque after the initial run. Since some workflows replace shafts per axle, two packs may be required for a full front and rear replacement.

Contents of the package

  • Front/Rear CVD Drive Shafts - 2 pcs
  • Pins 5x23.5 - 2 pcs
  • Set Screws 5x6 - 2 pcs

Compatible Vehicles

  • LOSI 1/5 5IVE-TE 3.0 Electric 4WD Desert Truck RTR-LOS05022
  • LOSI 1/5 5IVE-TG 3.0 Gas 4WD Desert Truck RTR-LOS05025

This 4140 steel CVD kit is a direct-fit reinforcement option for LOSI 5IVE-TE and 5IVE-TG 1/5 desert trucks where improved drivetrain durability is required; carry out standard installation checks and run-in routines after fitting.

Are these a straight swap for the LOS-3705/LOS-3674 parts?

They are intended as straight replacements for LOS-3705 and LOS-3674 and will fit the compatible LOSI truck models listed, subject to confirming measurements and fitment.

What advantages does 4140 steel provide?

4140 steel offers increased tensile strength and wear resistance, which helps the shafts withstand higher torsional loads and extends service life versus typical stock materials.

Which dimension is critical for compatibility?

Confirm the hub pin center-to-center length of 152mm. The kit specifies 152mm and upgrades the dogbone section to reduce bending under load.

Does simplifying the joint help longevity?

Yes. By removing the locating pin and simplifying the joint, stress concentrations are reduced and the joint interface becomes more durable in heavy-use scenarios.

Should I order more than one pack?

For a full front and rear replacement most builders purchase two packs. One pack may suffice for single-axle replacements depending on your vehicle setup.
