Crawler Canyon Tech Tip: Double Cardan for AR45P
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.พ. 2025
- For whatever reason, we can only get double cardan (double CVD) axles for AR45/10Pro straight, and offset Capra. Well, that's good for us, because Capra are long enough to be repurposed into most everything else.
Oh, and ignore the negative reviews on Amazon, as those come from people who make assumptions. Don't assume that a 15 dollar pair of axles from the internet are assembled properly. Assemble them properly yourself.

Excellently demonstrated! We love a tech tip Tuesday
Double your cardan, double your fun...a double dose of Canyon goodness today!
Made 2x12mm pins for my Redcat after both left and right exited the chat, from 2mm drill bits. Haven't looked back or even though about them at all since.
Great clip...it works so much better without the "camming" 👍👌
Sweet
I've got to get double cardan in my element axles. I refuse to sacrifice steering angle.
Mr.C how do you know?
In my opinion, not really a needed thing... still yet to see strength which is really the most concerning part of these. capra, f10 meus all allow max degrees of turning without camming. My f10 meus are ground on and housing inner c ground on to just barely cam. Also can clearance the shafts. Are you also grinding knuckles for more steering ? trx4... agreed needs some major help with steering angle.
I've yet to meet a universal-fitted axle without some degree of camming at full lock. If Capra axles didn't do it, we wouldn't have double cardans and isokinetics. Element axles will physically throw further than all of them, and therefore cam worse than all the rest. TRX-4 don't because they actually use CVDs (and therefore don't throw as far.) In a perfect world they'd use doubles, but here we are.
Vanquish f10s are definitely camming!
@@CrawlerCanyon I have used 3 different china capra center diff i will need to measure degree but they have not had issues. kinda surprised the ar45p are a issue.... Question is what degree are the axles setup to get camming? beyond 55 degree range maybe different shafts or grind axles. F10 meus allows alot i will have to measure. yeah trx4 i dont use for that reason and others. Either way benefits comes from maxing usable degree of steering angle 55 range or more.
Will the UpGrade RC Double Cardan Shafts for AR45 Axles fit in Vanquish F10 straight (non-portal)axles? Any modification required?
Covered this in a member's show awhile back. The answer is... "kind of."
$12.51 For the AR45P, specific shafts on Aliexpress.
now to check if i got place for those... but, its not like double mint gum ya
Would this work on the Meus portals?
No, the gears in the portal are different. I tried lol.
As mentioned, MEUS uses Vanquish style portal gears, so these don't fit. Now can they be to fit? That remains to be seen.
Isn't the axles on Wolverine an Ar45p? There was no mods needed for those right?
Offset Capra. These, as shafts for offset Capra, drop right in. AR45 is just offset-pumpkin AR44.
Where do you source the 2mm pins when they snap?
Ask me why I wonna know...
Cutting it out of a drill bit is the easiest and cheapest way.
Piano wire is another option 😉

Need these for Element Axles that wouldn't cost you $90 to "make".
Element axles need double cardan more than any other. But as you know, Upgrade RC are the only company making them for straight axles. The only way we're gonna get there is the full hack-bodge, finding a straight axle output cup to mate with double cardans for portal-- which can be found for as little as $7 a pair on AliExpress.
Yo
They cost unavailable at this time 😪😪😪
Saddened by this fact 😢
There’s a $19.50 amk listing that appears to have what you want and more stuff you don’t need
Wait till after Lunar New Year and I bet they come back. A lot of those factories are closed for the holiday.

Wagwan Canyoneros 👊
First! 😂
