These ready to run RC vehicles demand components that can withstand intense bashing, high-speed racing, and extreme driving conditions, which is exactly what this driveshaft set delivers. Built with precision manufacturing techniques and super-tough steel construction, this spare part is essential maintenance for any serious RC enthusiast.
Spare parts and upgrades are the lifeblood of the RC hobby, allowing you to maintain peak performance, extend vehicle life, and even customise your setup for different driving styles. The ARRMA CVD Driveshaft Set, 124mm (2) is not just a replacement component—it's a commitment to keeping your brushless RC car in top condition for years of reliable bashing, racing, and weekend enjoyment.
Key Features
- Super-tough steel construction — Made from high-quality steel that has been engineered for exceptional durability and longevity, this driveshaft set resists wear even under the most demanding driving conditions, ensuring your RC vehicle maintains consistent performance without premature failure or degradation.
- Precision manufactured Dog-Bone Pins — The dog-bone pins at each end of the driveshaft are machined with precision tolerances to ensure smooth, noise-free operation in all conditions, whether you're driving on tarmac, grass, dirt, or mixed terrain that RC enthusiasts encounter during weekend bashing sessions.
- Precision engineered CVD coupling — The constant velocity coupling allows power to transfer smoothly from the transmission to the wheels at any suspension angle, reducing jerky acceleration and providing low-maintenance operation that keeps your RC car UK setup running cleanly without the need for constant adjustment or cleaning.
- Direct replacement compatibility — As genuine ARRMA spare parts, these driveshafts are engineered to exact specifications and will fit perfectly into compatible ARRMA models, ensuring no fitment issues and maintaining the factory performance characteristics of your vehicle.
- Pair pack included — Each set contains two 124mm CVD driveshafts, providing you with replacement components for both front and rear axles or offering a spare set for when you need backup parts during intensive track sessions or competitive racing.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA CVD Driveshaft Set, 124mm (2) represents the pinnacle of drivetrain engineering for 1/8 scale brushless RC buggies and trucks. At 124mm in length, these driveshafts are engineered for vehicles that demand precision and durability, particularly the high-performance ARRMA Infraction 6S BLX and Typhon 6S V5 BLX models that utilise brushless motors and powerful LiPo battery systems. The super-tough steel material provides the strength necessary to handle the immense torque generated by 6S and 8S brushless powertrains without flex or breakage. The precision-engineered CVD coupling is particularly important in modern RC vehicles, as it allows smooth power delivery regardless of suspension articulation—critical when you're driving your RC car UK on challenging terrain at high speeds. The dog-bone pins are manufactured to incredibly tight tolerances, which eliminates the clicking or popping sounds that can result from worn joints, resulting in a smoother, quieter, and more responsive driving experience. These components are designed to work seamlessly with ARRMA's factory specifications, ensuring that whether you're running the Infraction 6S BLX in blue or silver, the Typhon 6S V5 BLX, the 1/8 TLR Tuned Typhon 6S, or even the 1/7 LIMITLESS 8S AVC 4x4, your drivetrain will perform consistently and reliably. Low rotating wear is a key benefit of this design, meaning you'll get extended service life compared to inferior aftermarket alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which ARRMA RC models are compatible with the 124mm CVD Driveshaft Set Z-AR220030? — This driveshaft set is compatible with the ARRMA Infraction 6S BLX (both blue and silver variants), ARRMA Typhon 6S V5 BLX, ARRMA 1/8 TLR Tuned Typhon 6S 4WD BLX, and ARRMA 1/7 LIMITLESS 8S AVC 4x4 RTR BLX. Always verify the specific model number on your vehicle before ordering to ensure perfect compatibility.
- What does CVD mean and why is it important for my RC car? — CVD stands for Constant Velocity drive, a drivetrain system that allows smooth power transfer to your wheels regardless of suspension angle. This is crucial for RC vehicles because it eliminates jerky acceleration, reduces driveline vibration, and improves overall handling characteristics, particularly important when you're driving your brushless RC car at high speeds on uneven terrain.
- How often should I replace my CVD driveshafts? — With the super-tough steel construction of the ARRMA set, regular maintenance involves visual inspection for cracks or damage and cleaning after muddy conditions. Replace your driveshafts when you notice clicking sounds from the joints, visible damage to the dog-bone pins, or if you've been involved in a high-impact crash. The precision engineering of this set means you'll get extended service life before replacement becomes necessary.
- Are these genuine ARRMA parts or aftermarket replacements? — These are genuine ARRMA spare parts, manufactured to exact factory specifications, ensuring perfect compatibility with your brushless RC vehicle. Genuine parts always outperform cheaper aftermarket alternatives in terms of fit, durability, and performance longevity.
- Can I use these driveshafts on other RC vehicles? — No, these 124mm driveshafts are engineered specifically for the compatible ARRMA models listed. Using them on incompatible vehicles could result in poor performance, fitting issues, or drivetrain damage. Always consult your vehicle's manual or contact an RC specialist to determine the correct driveshaft length and type for your specific model.
- Do I need any tools to replace my driveshafts? — Installation typically requires basic RC tools including a hex driver set, but specific tool requirements depend on your exact vehicle model. Consult your ARRMA instruction manual for detailed installation guidance and tool requirements.
