Improve wheel options on the DT-04 using Tamiya 22095 axles

The Tamiya 22095 Freewheel Axles provide a practical upgrade for DT-04 owners seeking different tyre and wheel combinations. These long-type freewheel axles suit the 2WD rear-wheel drive DT-04 chassis and replace the stock front axles, enabling you to experiment with offsets and tyre profiles for both handling refinement and a tailored appearance.

Suitability and recommended hub fit

The Tamiya 22095 Freewheel Axles are compatible with all DT-04 chassis types. For a secure, repeatable wheel mount when using the longer axles, it is advised to use the Tamiya 54610 Clamp Type Aluminum Wheel Hub (9mm Thick/2pcs.). This setup helps keep wheel play to a minimum during use.

Do these axles require trimming or machining?

No machining is typically needed for DT-04 use. They are designed to replace the original front axles, though minor adjustments like shimming may be required for ideal wheel alignment.

Will changing to these axles affect steering?

Altering wheel offset and tyre size can change steering feel. Expect differences and test gradually to find a setup that suits your driving preferences.

How do I reduce wheel play after fitting?

Using a clamp style hub like the Tamiya 54610 (9mm Thick/2pcs.) helps clamp the wheel firmly to the axle. Also check bearings and replace any worn parts to minimise play.

Can I use wider wheels on the rear as well?

Yes, pairing wider front and rear wheels can improve stance, but ensure clearance on suspension components and that driveline loads remain within acceptable limits.

Is the Tamiya 54610 hub necessary?

It is not strictly mandatory, but the Tamiya 54610 clamp hub is recommended to achieve a secure fit and reduce wheel slop when using the longer freewheel axles.
