TRAXXAS 1/10 Craniac Front Wheel Shaft Spring Steel CRA005S by GPM  [CRA005S]

Craniac front axle shaft

This replacement front wheel shaft fits TRAXXAS 1/10 Craniac Monster Truck platforms and is supplied under part code CRA005S. It is offered as a direct-fit replacement for the front wheel mounting area and is listed as 1pr in the product name.

The shaft is made of spring steel, which gives a useful mix of flex and return characteristics for retaining wheels and resisting frequent small impacts encountered in monster truck running. It functions as the mechanical link between the wheel hex and steering/drivetrain components, so material durability affects longevity under load.

Fitting usually requires removing the wheel end assembly, replacing the worn or bent shaft with the new part, and confirming concentricity and axial clearance. After installation, check wheel runout and steering response before running at speed. This is a scale RC component for model maintenance and tuning, not for full-size use.

For best results, inspect the mating wheel hexes, bearings and suspension pivots when replacing shafts to keep the front-end geometry correct and minimise play.
