[0002] A remote control car is a model car that can be controlled remotely by a radio remote controller. It can generally be divided into several categories: toys, car models, and police cars. The movement of a remote control car is inseparable from the power transmission between two shafts with different axes or even between two shafts whose relative positions are constantly changing during operation. Currently, the drive shaft usually uses telescopic spline shafts and universal joints to cooperate with the movement of the remote control car.

[0003] The utility model patent with patent application number CN202122875677.8 discloses a drive shaft for a remote control car, including a front half-shaft and a rear half-shaft, including a bellows connected between the front half-shaft and the rear half-shaft, and also including two cylindrical pins; in this structure, the bellows is used and the bellows is movably connected to the ball socket of the drive shaft to replace the original spline shaft and universal joint to complete the power transmission between the two shafts whose relative positions are constantly changing. The processing technology is simple, reducing manufacturing costs, and can avoid the noise caused by the collision of the active tube patterns of the bellows, thereby improving the user experience.

[0004] However, in actual use, the structure requires that the ball joints at the front half shaft and the rear half shaft move in the ball socket cavity at one end of the bellows to enable the transmission shaft to achieve bending movement. However, when the ball joint rotates and rubs inside the ball socket cavity for a long time, the wear of the ball joint is easily accelerated, and it is not convenient to lubricate the ball joint and the ball socket cavity, which affects the ultimate service life of the transmission shaft. In view of this, the utility model proposes a transmission shaft for a remote control car. Utility Model Content

[0007] It can be seen that in the above structure, the two connecting parts can be used to connect with the frame of the remote control car. The function of the universal joint can make the remote control car swing in different directions, so as to achieve the flexibility of the use of the remote control car.

[0019] Specifically, the transmission shaft in the structure is composed of a telescopic spline shaft 1, two universal joints 2 and two connecting parts 3, wherein the universal joint 2 is composed of a first universal joint fork 20, a second universal joint fork 21 and a cross shaft pin 22. In actual use, the two connecting parts 3 can be used to connect with the frame of the remote control car, and the setting of the universal joint 2 can enable the remote control car to swing in different directions, thereby improving the experience of the remote control car. The use principle of the universal joint 2 mainly adopts the rotation between the first universal joint 2 and the second universal joint 2 through the cross shaft pin 22 to achieve the swing of the remote control car in different directions.

[0020] In this embodiment, as shown in the attached Figure 2 , 3As shown, the surfaces of the first universal joint fork 20 and the second universal joint fork 21 are both provided with an oil injection structure for lubricating the cross shaft pin 22, and the oil injection structure includes an oil injection pipe 4.
