Improve drivetrain durability on Tamiya TA02 4WD and FWD models

The Tamiya 53172 Universal Shaft Set is a precision upgrade aimed at improving drivetrain resilience for TA02 4WD and FWD RC cars. Constructed from quality aluminium, the shafts provide steadier power transfer and reduced wear for regular track or club use.

Features of the Tamiya 53172 Universal Shaft Set

Material: Durable aluminium for extended service life
Compatibility: Compatible with 4WD TA02 and FWD chassis, and particular models such as the Idemitsu Motion Mugen Civic and Castrol Celica
Functionality: Designed to smooth power delivery and lower drivetrain deterioration under load

Will these shafts fit older TA02 variants?

They fit many TA02 and FWD layouts, but confirm mount points and shaft lengths on older variants before fitting to ensure correct clearance.

Do aluminium shafts need different maintenance than plastic ones?

Maintenance is similar: keep joints clean and lubricated. Aluminium resists wear better, but check mating parts like cups and bearings regularly.

Will this upgrade improve lap times?

Improved drivetrain efficiency can yield more consistent power delivery and potentially better lap times, depending on the rest of the setup and driver skill.
