DB01 Front Swing Shaft with Extended Angle

The Tamiya 54118 offers a front swing shaft solution for the DB01 chassis that tolerates larger operating angles, helping to keep torque moving to the wheels when axles are highly angled. It is aimed at users seeking more reliable driveline behaviour.

What's in the Kit and Fit Details

The kit supplies the following components:

  • WO Front Swing Shaft: 78mm x 2
  • WO Front Axle: x 2
  • Front Upright for 950 Ball Bearing: x 1
  • 950 Ball Bearings: x 2

Suitable for the DB01, TRF501X, and TRF501X WE chassis, this upgrade swaps in for standard uprights to refine front driveline geometry.

Fitting and Maintenance Hints

Fit bearings straight and make sure grub screws are secure but not over tightened. Regularly inspect for play and service bearings as part of routine maintenance to preserve performance.

The part itself does not change alignment, but always recheck toe and camber after installation to confirm nothing shifted during the swap.
Spin the upright by hand after pressing the bearings; it should rotate smoothly with minimal side play. If rough, remove and reseat the bearings carefully.
Yes, many users upgrade to hardened or lighter aftermarket uprights and shafts, but confirm compatibility with DB01 geometry before buying upgrades.
