The SST340S is a steel #45 front and rear CVD shaft supplied as an aftermarket replacement for the TRAXXAS 1/18 LaTrax SST. It replaces softer or worn drives to give small-scale models a tougher drivetrain option, shipped as a matched pair for front and rear positions.
Designed for chassis-level swap, the shafts match the LaTrax SST drivetrain geometry and fasten with the vehicle's existing retaining hardware. During installation check gearbox and suspension clearances and confirm the correct orientation for each shaft. Most users will not need to cut or modify components when fitting to the specified model.
Choosing steel #45 increases torsional stiffness and wear resistance compared with standard materials, helping to limit driveshaft flex under acceleration and aggressive steering inputs. For best results use properly sized drive cups and clean, serviceable bearings to avoid introducing binding or unwanted resistance into the driveline.
Ideal for hobby operators who want a straightforward, durable replacement that helps maintain stable drivetrain behaviour; always verify fit on your own car before finishing assembly.
