Front axle shaft built for MRX-5 performance

This front axle shaft is a 1/8 scale component intended for the Mugen MRX-5 chassis, acting as the front CVD universal axle that connects the wheels to the drivetrain. The AM-MRX5-H0271-Al variant is machined from 7075-T6 aluminium and is sold as two pieces to replace or upgrade the original front axles.

Arrowmax offers MRX-5 axles in three materials: 7075-T6 aluminium for reduced mass with added stiffness, spring steel for tougher impact resistance, and titanium where the best strength-to-weight is required. The aluminium choice listed here is commonly used when a firmer front end feel is targeted in setup work.

Fitment notes: the axle is a front CVD shaft that fits into standard MRX-5 front hubs and universal joints, so usual MRX-5 hub retention applies. Verify boot clearance and hub seating during installation and ensure wheel hexes and grub screws are properly tightened before track use.

Tuning notes: swapping to 7075-T6 aluminium will usually increase steering precision and driveline stiffness; keep an eye on universals and wheel hexes for wear as load distribution changes.

Specifications

As Arrowmax's aluminium option for the MRX-5, this axle pair is aimed at drivers wanting a stiffer front driveline without the weight penalty of steel; confirm hub compatibility before fitting.

Yes, they are designed to mate with the standard MRX-5 front universals, provided your kit uses the common MRX-5 hub and universal dimensions.
The listing includes two front axle shafts, suitable for both left and right sides of the chassis.
Aluminium axles need the same routine checks as steel ones: inspect for play, ensure set screws stay tight, and watch for wear on mating parts; aluminium may show wear differently, so inspect often after initial runs.
Before full running, cycle the suspension and check for binding, then re-torque set screws after a short test session and recheck boot clearance.
