Axial Yeti XL Rear Drive Shaft Replacement Steel #45 YTL237S by GPM  [YTL237S]

Rear shaft description for Yeti XL

This steel #45 rear drive shaft is a service replacement intended for Axial Racing Yeti XL platforms. It is designed as a direct-fit rear drivetrain component to recover correct geometry and carry torque from the gearbox to the rear wheels. The part ships as 1 pcs and is suited to regular maintenance or replacing worn original shafts.

Installation advice: the shaft locates into the rear output and will require the usual disassembly of the rear gearbox and suspension links. Check the spline engagement and original retaining hardware, clean all mating surfaces, and inspect 走珠軸承 and seals while you reassemble. Consult the vehicle service manual for specified torque figures and assembly order; no additional machining should be necessary for compatible Yeti XL rear assemblies.

Handling and tuning: upgrading to a steel #45 shaft increases stiffness and bending resistance over softer alloys, which affects drivetrain lash and long-term wear when running higher torque or more aggressive pinion/spur setups. Maintain correct alignment and do not overtighten retaining screws to prevent excess bearing preload and premature wear.

Fit this shaft to restore rear drivetrain stiffness on Axial Yeti XL cars or during setup revisions where a stronger shaft is desired.
