Mini 4WD 72mm Reinforced Shafts (Black, 4pcs.)

The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: Essential Durability for Wider Chassis! If you are running a Super X or Super XX chassis, your wider track width gives you incredible stability, but it also puts more leverage and stress on your axles during a hard landing. These 72mm Reinforced Black Shafts are a must-have durability upgrade to keep your machine running perfectly straight. At Hobby Hideaway, we consider these a mandatory upgrade for racers looking to eliminate wheel wobble and ensure their wide-stance machines survive aggressive heats.

Built to Handle Heavy Impacts Standard silver shafts can easily bend when your Mini 4WD takes a harsh impact or lands a jump off-balance. Once an axle bends, it introduces severe drivetrain friction and instability that saps your speed. These reinforced steel shafts are hardened specifically to withstand the brutal forces of high-speed racing, keeping your wheels perfectly aligned and your power delivery smooth from the starting gate to the finish line.

Key Features & Technical Specs:

• Heavy-Duty Construction: Made from reinforced, hardened steel to resist bending during high-speed crashes and hard jump landings.

• Extended 72mm Length: The exact fit required for wide-tread chassis platforms like the Super X and Super XX.

• Sleek Finish: Features a stealthy black finish that adds a pro-level look to your chassis while providing mild corrosion resistance.

• Value Pack: Includes 4 individual shafts, giving you enough hardware to fully upgrade two cars, or keep plenty of trackside spares in your pit box.

Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: While these 72mm shafts are required for the Super X and Super XX chassis, advanced builders often use them on standard-width chassis (like the MA or VZ) to create extreme "pierced wheel" setups or custom widened track widths! If you are piercing your wheels, make sure to drill perfectly straight through the wheel hub to ensure the shaft grips evenly without introducing a wobble.
