TRAXXAS LaTrax SST Aftermarket Steel CVD Shaft SST340S by GPM  [SST340S]

Steel front/rear CVD replacement for LaTrax SST

The SST340S is an aftermarket steel #45 front and rear CVD shaft manufactured as a direct-replacement option for the TRAXXAS 1/18 LaTrax SST. Supplied as one pair, the component replaces softer or worn drives on small-scale RC cars and aims to offer a more durable drivetrain element.

Fit and installation are performed at chassis level; the shafts conform to LaTrax SST drivetrain geometry and use the vehicle's original retaining hardware. Inspect clearance at the transmission and suspension attachment points when fitting and ensure correct identification of front versus rear pieces. Significant trimming is not commonly required on the specified model.

Steel #45 provides higher torsional rigidity and improved wear resistance compared with softer materials. That additional rigidity lowers driveshaft deflection during acceleration and strong steering inputs, which can lead to steadier throttle response and more consistent handling. Use matched drive cups and maintained bearings to minimise risk of binding or increased friction.

A solid choice for owners wanting a robust replacement that supports consistent driveline performance; always trial-fit and check clearances before final assembly.
