Lightweight Rear Axle for Faster Response

The XRAY 345101 Rear Solid Axle Set is aimed at vintage RX users wanting crisper response from their drivetrain. Manufactured from HUDY Spring Steel, the component is approximately 25% lighter than the #345110 standard, cutting rotational mass while retaining ruggedness for track use.

Surface Treatment and Finish Details

Hand-ground for an even running surface, the axle also receives heat treatment and a black protective coating to resist wear. A 48T rear composite lightweight axle pulley is part of the kit to ensure correct drivetrain alignment.

Why Fit This Axle?

  • Material: High quality HUDY Spring Steel for dependable strength.
  • Mass Reduction: About 25% lighter than the standard #345110, helping acceleration.
  • Robustness: Heat treated and coated for longer component life.
  • Precision Ground: Smooth operation and accurate fitment.
  • Designed For: Older RX series model retrofits.
Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some XRAY items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

Is the XRAY 345101 hard to install for a home mechanic?

Installation is straightforward for anyone used to basic RC maintenance. Standard hand tools are enough, though careful alignment and bearing checks are recommended.

Will this axle improve lap times on carpet or tarmac?

Reducing rotating mass helps acceleration and response on both surfaces; lap time gains depend on setup and driving style but you should notice improved driveability.

Can I reuse my existing pulley if needed?

The kit includes a 48T composite pulley sized for this axle, but if your current pulley matches the mounting and tooth count you can reuse it after checking fitment and mesh.

Any tips to maximise longevity of this axle?

Avoid grit buildup, keep bearings clean and lubricated, and periodically check the black coating for wear. Address any rough spots on the hand-ground surface promptly.
