TRAXXAS 1/10 Craniac Front Wheel Shaft CRA005S replacement by GPM  [CRA005S]

Front wheel shaft for Craniac models

This replacement front wheel shaft is an RC-scale component for TRAXXAS 1/10 Craniac Monster Truck platforms and is supplied under part code CRA005S. It is intended as a direct-fit replacement for the front wheel mounting area and is listed as 1pr in the product name.

Described as spring steel, the shaft delivers a balance of flexibility and return to aid wheel retention and to withstand frequent minor impacts common in monster truck running. It serves as the mechanical link between the wheel hex and steering/drivetrain connections, so resilient material selection is important for reliable service under load.

Installation generally involves removing the wheel end assembly, fitting the replacement in place of a bent or fatigued shaft, and verifying concentric fit and acceptable axial play. Once fitted, check wheel runout and steering responsiveness before operating at full power. This part is for scale RC maintenance and tuning only.

When replacing shafts, check matching wheel hexes, bearings and suspension pivots to ensure the front assembly retains correct geometry and minimal play.
