Upgrade the RB5 Drivetrain with Kyosho UM569

The Kyosho UM569 Steel Axle Shaft set is a practical upgrade for ULTIMA RB5 racers who need tougher drivetrain components. These shafts are made from hardened steel to better resist deformation and surface damage, helping keep your car reliable during aggressive runs and practice sessions.

Designed to Take the Hits

With a focus on strength and wear resistance, the UM569 axles reduce the risk of failure under heavy loads. That makes them suitable for drivers who push their cars hard across rough tracks and jump sections.

Accurate Fit for ULTIMA RB5

Manufactured to match RB5 specifications, these axles are intended to install cleanly and preserve existing suspension geometry. Correct fitment supports consistent handling and reduces setup time after upgrades.
Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some Kyosho items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

Will the UM569 axles require different bearings?

They are designed for standard RB5 bearings. Replace bearings only if they show play or roughness when fitting new axles to ensure smooth rotation.

Can these shafts be used for competition racing?

Yes, their increased durability makes them suitable for competitive environments, provided the rest of the drivetrain is in good condition and gear mesh is correctly set.

How do I inspect axles for early signs of failure?

Check for straightness, spline wear and surface gouges. Rotate shafts by hand and feel for rough spots in bearings or splines that could indicate impending issues.

Are there handling changes after installing steel axles?

You may notice a slightly firmer drivetrain feel and crisper acceleration response. Recheck setup and drive gently to confirm settings before full-speed running.

Any tips for extending axle life?

Keep the gearbox sealed from dirt, service bearings frequently and avoid running with damaged gears. Proper maintenance will maximise the life of steel axles.
