Overview
The ARRMA CVD Wheel Axle (2) Z-AR310868 is an essential replacement and upgrade component for ARRMA 4x4 MEGA BLX RC models. These precision-engineered wheel axles are designed to deliver consistent, reliable performance across all driving conditions, making them an ideal choice for RC enthusiasts in the UK who demand durability and smooth operation from their RC car components. Whether you're a seasoned basher pushing your ARRMA to the limit or a dedicated racer looking to maintain peak performance, these CVD axles represent a significant investment in the longevity and reliability of your RC vehicle.
CVD (Constant Velocity) axles are a critical drivetrain component in modern RC cars, and the ARRMA Z-AR310868 pair exemplifies why quality matters in this category. These axles are manufactured to exacting standards to ensure that power is transmitted from your motor and transmission smoothly to the wheels, without the vibration, noise or friction that can occur with inferior components. When you purchase an RC car or RC buggy, the drivetrain components work together as a system, and upgrading to genuine ARRMA CVD axles ensures that system works at its best.
Available at RC Model Shop, these CVD wheel axles are perfect for anyone running an ARRMA 4x4 MEGA BLX brushless RC model. The pack includes two axles, covering both front and rear wheel positions on one side of your vehicle, or allowing you to maintain spares for extended bashing sessions without downtime.

Technical Performance
The ARRMA CVD Wheel Axle Z-AR310868 represents the pinnacle of drivetrain component engineering for 1/10 scale 4WD RC vehicles. These axles are built from tough steel that has been proven through extensive testing to withstand the extreme forces generated by high-powered brushless RC cars and trucks. The precision manufacturing process ensures that each axle is perfectly balanced and free from the micro-defects that can cause vibration, noise and premature failure. When installed on your ARRMA 4x4 MEGA BLX, these CVD axles work in harmony with your vehicle's transmission to deliver smooth power delivery to the wheels. The friction-free operation means less energy is wasted as heat, more power reaches the ground, and your RC car maintains consistent handling characteristics throughout your driving session. Whether you're performing high-speed runs across an open field, navigating tight technical courses, or executing precision competition manoeuvres, these axles provide the reliability you need. The engineering is such that these components maintain their performance characteristics across a wide range of driving styles and conditions, from gentle trail driving to aggressive basher-style operation.
What's in the Box
Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these ARRMA CVD axles suitable for my ARRMA 4x4 MEGA BLX RC car? — Yes, the Z-AR310868 is specifically engineered for ARRMA 4x4 MEGA BLX models. The part number ensures perfect compatibility with your vehicle's drivetrain, and installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC maintenance knowledge.
- What makes CVD axles better than standard axles for RC cars? — CVD stands for Constant Velocity, which means these axles maintain a consistent speed and smooth power delivery across a range of angles and conditions. This results in better handling, less vibration, quieter operation, and ultimately longer drivetrain life. For anyone serious about RC car performance, CVD axles are considered the superior choice.
- How often should I replace my CVD axles on my RC car? — The lifespan of CVD axles depends on your driving style and frequency. Aggressive bashers might wear them out faster, whilst weekend recreational drivers may get years of service. The tough steel construction of these ARRMA axles is built to last, but it's wise to keep a spare set on hand, especially if you compete in RC racing events.
- Do I need any special tools to install these CVD wheel axles? — Installation typically requires basic RC tools like hex drivers and possibly a small hammer or mallet. Consult your ARRMA 4x4 MEGA BLX manual for detailed installation instructions. If you're new to RC maintenance, our team at RC Model Shop can provide guidance.
- Can I upgrade from standard axles to these CVD axles? — Yes, upgrading to genuine ARRMA CVD axles from inferior aftermarket components is a worthwhile investment that will improve your vehicle's performance, handling and drivetrain longevity. The precision engineering ensures compatibility and optimal performance with your ARRMA 4x4 MEGA BLX.
- Why choose genuine ARRMA parts instead of generic replacements? — Genuine ARRMA components are engineered and tested specifically for ARRMA vehicles, ensuring perfect fit, finish and performance.
