Precision Shaft Replacements for Retro Buggies

The Tamiya 5335004 3X50mm Threaded Shaft set is intended for modellers restoring or maintaining classic buggy designs. It fits models from Tamiya series 58, 60, 62, 77, 80, and 87 and is made to provide a correct factory-style fit.

How These Shafts Improve Chassis Behaviour

Accurate shafts reduce slop in the suspension and help keep wheel alignment consistent. The Tamiya 3X50mm Threaded Shaft offers clean thread engagement and a robust section to reduce unwanted movement in steering linkages and hubs.

Assembly and Maintenance Advice

Fitment is straightforward when components are clean and undamaged. Inspect bearings and mounts during installation and follow the model manual for any model-specific instructions. Regular checks will prevent minor wear from becoming a handling issue.

Are these shafts direct replacements for original parts?

Yes, they are designed to match original dimensions for the listed Tamiya series. Confirm part numbers and chassis compatibility before purchasing to ensure a direct swap.

Should I replace bearings when fitting new shafts?

It is prudent to inspect and, if necessary, replace worn bearings when changing shafts to ensure smooth operation and avoid premature wear on the new components.

Can these be used for competitive club racing?

They are suitable as reliable spares for club-level use. For high-level competition, check that all running gear meets your event regulations and consider upgraded materials if needed.
