Made for 1/8 scale MRX-5 cars, this front axle shaft functions as the CVD universal axle that delivers drive to the front wheels. The AM-MRX5-H0271-Al version is produced in 7075-T6 aluminium and is supplied as two pieces to replace the stock front axles.
Arrowmax lists MRX-5 axles in three materials: 7075-T6 aluminium offering a good stiffness-to-weight ratio, spring steel for maximum toughness, and titanium for premium lightness and strength. This listing covers the aluminium option, selected when a firmer front driveline characteristic is required.
Fitting advice: the axle installs into MRX-5 front hubs and universal joints using the usual MRX-5 retention system. Check clearances at the hub and CVD boots during fitting and ensure wheel hexes and set screws are tightened to avoid movement.
Tuning expectation: swapping to 7075-T6 aluminium typically tightens steering feedback and increases driveline rigidity; monitor universal joints, boots and wheel hexes as the altered stiffness can change wear patterns.
This aluminium axle set from Arrowmax is aimed at MRX-5 owners seeking a stiffer front driveline while keeping weight down; always confirm hub and universal compatibility before purchase.
