Summary for the Tamiya 15440 60mm Hollow Stainless Shaft

The Tamiya 15440 60mm Hollow Stainless Shaft is a simple performance part designed to reduce rotating mass in Mini 4WD drivetrains. The hollow stainless design keeps strength while offering a small weight saving useful for competitive setups.

Fitment and Mass Reduction

These hollow shafts typically save around 1 gram versus standard solid shafts, which can aid acceleration and consistency over multiple laps. They are compatible with an extensive list of chassis: Type 1, Type 3, Type 5, Super 1, FM, TZ, TZ-X, VS, and MS, making them suitable for many builds.

How They Affect Handling and Speed

Reducing rotational inertia helps the motor drive the wheels more responsively, improving acceleration and helping maintain higher speeds on long straights. The lighter component also supports balanced handling, aiding control during high-speed cornering.

Not usually. The Tamiya 15440 maintains the same shaft dimensions as stock parts, so existing gear ratios remain applicable. Adjust gearing for track conditions as normal.
Reducing weight can lower stress on motor and gears in some situations, but overall wear depends on maintenance, lubrication and alignment as much as component weight.
After running, clean the shafts and check for bends or nicks. Replace if you spot persistent play. Regular bearing checks and light lubrication will keep performance consistent.
