Optimise FF01 Drivetrain with Tamiya 53165 Carbon Shaft

The Tamiya 53165 FF01 Carbon Gear Shaft is a compact upgrade aimed at reducing rotating mass on the FF01 chassis. Made from carbon, it provides a lightweight alternative to stock metal shafts while maintaining practical durability.

Carbon Advantage for Rotating Parts

Replacing a metal shaft with carbon reduces inertia, which can make acceleration feel snappier and improve handling responsiveness. The neutral grey finish offers a subtle visual upgrade without being obtrusive.

Compatibility and Fitment Tips

Engineered for the Tamiya FF01 chassis, this shaft installs into the stock arrangement. Always trial fit and verify gear mesh and clearances during installation to ensure reliable operation.

Is the carbon shaft stiffer than the original steel part?

Carbon behaves differently to steel: it is lighter and can be very stiff, but it will feel different under heavy loads. Inspect regularly for any damage.

Is this suitable for competitive racing classes?

Many racers use carbon parts to reduce weight, but confirm class regulations and monitor the component for wear during events.

What maintenance does the shaft need?

Keep the shaft clean, check for surface cracks or wear at the gear interface, and replace it if you notice any structural damage.

Will installing this change my gear mesh?

If fitted correctly it should not alter gear mesh, but always confirm pinion and spur spacing after installation and adjust if necessary.
