Description
The RedCarbon Model dual-ended trident driveshaft kit is intended for the HoBao 1/7 VTE2 drivetrain. The supplied specification lists TC4 titanium driveshaft construction, a reinforced 6.5 mm specification and a dedicated 7075 front arm brace, together with drive cups, bearings and fasteners for the conversion. Confirm your vehicle version and existing drivetrain layout before assembly.
Key Features
- Dual-ended trident design: intended for use with the supplied drive cups and bearing arrangement. Confirm the assembly positions before installation.
- TC4 titanium driveshaft specification: the source identifies TC4 for the driveshaft construction, not for every component in the package.
- Reinforced 6.5 mm specification: retained from the source description. The precise measurement location requires confirmation from a dimension drawing or the actual parts.
- Dedicated 7075 front arm brace: supplied as a separate mounting component; its material must not be confused with the TC4 shaft specification.
- Coordinated hardware set: drive cups, bearings, screws and set screws are included in the stated packing list.
The design is intended to reduce wear at conventional drive-pin contact areas and improve the drivetrain connection. Actual wear, smoothness and load capability depend on assembly accuracy, lubrication, operating angles and vehicle setup. It is not maintenance-free or damage-proof.

Compatibility & Fit Checks
The supplied fitment information specifies the HoBao 1/7 VTE2. Compatibility with other HoBao models, other versions or modified chassis has not been established. Do not assume interchangeability based only on vehicle scale or visual similarity.
Before ordering, check the exact vehicle version, drivetrain layout, drive-cup connections and available installation space. Vehicles with replacement differentials, motor mounts or other drivetrain modifications require additional clearance and fitment checks.
Confirm fitment before forcing or modifying any component. Complete shaft lengths, the exact 6.5 mm measurement location and an installation-position diagram are not supplied in the current source.
Specifications & Package Includes
The listed material descriptions apply to their identified components. Bearings, drive cups and fasteners must not all be described as TC4 titanium without separate confirmation. The RC vehicle and other drivetrain components are not listed as included.
Installation & Maintenance
- Disconnect the vehicle battery and record the original drivetrain positions and orientation before disassembly.
- Check how the bearings, drive cups and shaft components fit together. Do not force or hammer parts into place.
- Secure screws and set screws according to the correct assembly requirements. No verified tightening torque is supplied, so do not substitute an invented torque figure.
- Rotate the drivetrain by hand after assembly and inspect for binding, abnormal play or contact with nearby parts.
- Check the drivetrain throughout the suspension's operating range to ensure the connections neither bottom out nor disengage.
- Start with low-load testing, then inspect the installation again. Stop if abnormal noise, looseness or heat develops.
Inspect wear, bearing condition and fastener security regularly. Follow the component supplier's lubrication and maintenance instructions rather than treating the conversion as maintenance-free.
Performance Note
This kit does not guarantee a vehicle top speed. The earlier source mentions exceeding 200 miles and a 236-mile test claim, but does not provide complete speed records, unambiguous units or test conditions. Those numbers are not used here as validated performance claims or safe operating limits.
Vehicle performance depends on the complete power system, battery, gearing, tyres, chassis setup and test environment. A drivetrain component alone cannot establish the capability or safety of the complete vehicle.
Choose this kit after confirming your VTE2 configuration and the required installation details. Contact SoarSky if you need clarification of shaft positions, dimensions or assembly requirements before ordering.
Product FAQ
Does it fit every HoBao 1/7 model?
The current source specifies the VTE2 only. Other models, versions and modified chassis require separate fitment checks.
Is every part made from TC4 titanium?
No. The driveshaft construction is specified as TC4, while the front arm brace is specified as 7075. The bearings and fasteners must not be described as titanium without confirmation.
Does the conversion eliminate drive-pin wear?
No such guarantee is established. Reduced wear is a design objective; actual results depend on assembly, lubrication, load and maintenance.
Does the kit guarantee a particular top speed?
No. A drivetrain kit alone does not determine or guarantee complete-vehicle speed.
Are the shaft lengths and installation positions fully documented?
Not in the supplied source. Confirm those details before assembly, especially if the vehicle already has drivetrain modifications.
