MIPMIP X-Duty CVD Driveshaft Kit – Traxxas Bandit MIP18390 delivers unmatched drivetrain reliability for enthusiasts pushing their buggies to the limit. By replacing weak plastic shafts with heat-treated carbon steel, you gain the confidence to run high-torque brushless systems without fear of mechanical failure. The splined telescoping design ensures smooth suspension movement and efficient power delivery even during the hardest landings.
Engineered for extreme durability, these shafts utilize a CVD coupling that reduces friction and vibration compared to standard dogbones. This results in more power reaching the ground and less wear on your gearbox internals. The precision fitment eliminates the common problem of shafts popping out during high-speed runs or off-road jumps.
Key Features
- Heat-Treated Carbon Steel Construction: Provides superior torsional strength to handle the instant torque of 3S LiPo batteries, preventing the twisting and snapping common in stock plastic driveshafts.
- Advanced Splined Telescoping Design: Features a high-engagement splined interface that allows for maximum suspension travel while maintaining a rock-solid connection between the motor and the wheels.
- Constant Velocity Drive (CVD) Geometry: Minimizes binding and power loss at extreme suspension angles, ensuring consistent acceleration and improved handling through bumpy sections of the track.
- Protective Black Oxide Coating: Offers a durable, professional finish that resists corrosion and chemical wear from dirt, mud, and track spray for a longer service life.
- Fully Serviceable Components: Designed with the hobbyist in mind, every pin, coupling, and bone is replaceable, allowing you to maintain peak performance without purchasing an entirely new kit.
- Optimized Bandit Fitment: Engineered specifically for the rear of the Traxxas Bandit chassis to ensure perfect clearance and alignment with factory hub carriers and outdrives.
Whats Included
- Rear CVD Drive Bones: Two precision-machined steel drive bones built to the exact length required for the Traxxas Bandit rear suspension geometry.
- Splined Axle Sets: Two sets of heavy-duty male and female telescoping axles that provide the necessary extension and retraction for long-travel off-road setups.
- Hardened Steel 12mm Hex Adapters: Two high-strength hexes that provide a secure, non-slip mounting point for the rear wheels, preventing stripped wheel centers.
- Complete Hardware Installation Kit: Includes all necessary cross pins, coupling pins, and set screws required to fully assemble and install the driveshafts onto your vehicle.
- MIP Specialized Lubricants: Includes a tube of MIP Thread Gel to secure fasteners against vibration and high-grade grease to keep the CVD joints rotating smoothly.
