Optimise your F104 with the Tamiya 54162 carbon rear shaft

The Tamiya 54162 Carbon Rear Shaft provides a targeted upgrade for F104 drivers aiming to reduce drivetrain resistance and improve engine response. Its stiff, lightweight carbon helps the rear diff operate with less internal drag.

Compatibility and fitting guidance

The shaft is intended for F104 chassis models and can be adapted for use with the F103RM and the F103 15th Anniversary Chassis Kit (Item 84056) when paired with the F104 Aluminum Diff. Housing Set (Item 54158). Always confirm fitment and tolerances during installation.

Real world advantages

Lowering friction in the rear assembly yields crisper throttle reactions and smoother power delivery under acceleration. The reduced rotating mass also aids stability when carrying speed through corners.

In most F104 builds it installs without extra parts. Check the diff housing and bearings for correct fit and alignment before running.
Carbon is strong and light, but inspect for chips or wear after impacts and keep contact areas clean to preserve life. Regular checks are recommended.
Pair with a properly set diff, quality bearings and the F104 Aluminum Diff. Housing Set (Item 54158) for best drivetrain efficiency and response.
