Axial Yeti Rear CVD Steel Shaft YT295S direct-fit upgrade for Yeti by GPM  [YT295S]

Rear universal swing shaft for Yeti chassis

Designed for Axial Yeti platforms, this rear CVD universal swing shaft carries the model number YT295S. The shaft uses a Steel #45 body paired with a spring steel cup joint, intended as an aftermarket substitution for softer OEM rear CVD parts.

Its purpose is to provide a firmer driveline link that cuts unwanted play and sharpens throttle response compared to stock plastic or low-grade metal components. The spring steel cup preserves articulation while the steel shaft improves longevity under hobby-level loads.

Fitment guidance: this component installs into the rear CVD assembly using the original mounting points. Check e-clip and pin placement during assembly, verify free rotation before final tightening, and ensure suspension travel does not bind against the shaft or cup joint.

Tuning guidance: many hobbyists fit a stronger rear CVD shaft to reduce slop and make traction response more predictable, especially when running stiffer springs or rough, grippy terrain. After installing, reassess damping and alignment to refine handling.

For modelers wanting a tougher rear driveline element on Yeti rigs, the YT295S shaft is a straightforward steel replacement that keeps articulation while reducing driveline play.
