Improve TA05 rear feel with Tamiya blue aluminium shaft

For drivers fine-tuning their TA05, the Tamiya 53871 - 48mm Aluminum Rear Swing Shaft for TA05 Chassis is a compact aluminium upgrade finished in blue anodising. It aims to cut rotating mass and keep torsional rigidity, making it a sensible visual and performance enhancement for tuned on-road cars fitted with the Reversible Lightweight Suspension Set.

Compatibility details and assembly pointers

This swing shaft is compatible with the TA05 chassis that includes the Reversible Lightweight Suspension, ITEM 51094 TB Evolution 4 Wheel Axle, and ITEM 53500 Assembly Universal Shaft Cross Joint. It can also be installed on the F201 chassis when paired with ITEM 53522 F201 Universal Shaft. Assembly follows standard TA05 procedures; use appropriate tools and check alignment after fitting.

Aluminium offers improved wear resistance over some softer stock materials but can show damage from heavy impacts. It is generally durable for regular on-road use.
Reducing weight at the rear can slightly alter balance toward quicker turn-in. Adjust rear toe and damping if needed to retain predictable handling.
Yes, it fits TA05 setups that use the specified items. Confirm your chassis has the Reversible Lightweight Suspension and the referenced ITEM parts before installation.
Avoid harsh cleaning chemicals and inspect after each run; a light wipe and removal of grit will help keep the anodising in good condition.
When fitting stronger universal joints or different axles, check spline fit and endplay. Use compatible ITEM parts listed to ensure smooth operation.
