TB-04 Drive Upgrade with Aluminium Pilot Shafts

To increase drivetrain resilience and reduce rotating mass on a Tamiya TB-04, the Tamiya 54585 aluminium pilot shafts make a sensible upgrade. These shafts replace the original kit parts, delivering lower weight and better wear resistance to keep motor output consistent.

What Aluminium Adds

Aluminium combines reduced mass with good mechanical strength, helping lower inertia in the drivetrain. Installing aluminium pilot shafts can result in cleaner power transfer and less mechanical flex under high load.

Compatibility Details

The Tamiya 54585 shafts are produced to fit TB-04 chassis formats directly, so they fit without additional modification and should slot into standard assemblies.

Yes, they are intended for the TB-04 drivetrain and will work with standard gearbox components provided bearings and housings are in good condition.
Reduced rotating mass from aluminium shafts often sharpens throttle response and can improve acceleration consistency during quick throttle inputs.
Check shaft runout and bearing condition periodically, apply a small amount of light grease where recommended, and replace worn bearings to protect the Tamiya 54585 shafts.
