These high-performance aluminum dogbones are engineered as a direct replacement and upgrade for various 1/18th scale Maverick ION series RC vehicles, including popular models like the XB, XT, RX, MT, and SC. Precision-machined from robust 6061 T6 aluminum, they deliver significantly improved durability and a marginal weight reduction compared to the standard plastic or composite drive shafts. Upgrading to these metallic dogbones ensures a more reliable drivetrain under demanding conditions, reducing the likelihood of breakage during aggressive driving, jumps, and impacts, thus enhancing the overall performance and longevity of your RC car or truck.
