Front Universal Shafts to Improve XV-01 Driveability

The Tamiya 54515 RC XV-01 Assembly Universal Shaft (Front/2Pcs.) is a direct front drive upgrade for XV-01 cars. These universal shafts are intended for the front of the XV-01 chassis and are aimed at improving drivetrain smoothness and steering stability.

Reduced Mechanical Losses

Universal shafts help cut down friction and backlash compared to standard dog-bone pieces, producing a steadier flow of power to the front wheels and more predictable acceleration feel.

Better Tyre Contact Under Load

Installing universal joints can help the front tyres stay more consistently planted when cornering and braking, which enhances steering precision and control at higher speeds.

Improved Retention in Impacts

Because universals seat more positively than dog-bones, they lower the chance of driveshafts being ejected during collisions, keeping you on track longer between repairs.

They are compatible with the XV-01 and XV-01T frames. The XV-01 TC touring conversion is not supported unless modified.
The set supplies two front universal driveshafts plus matching wheel axles and cross joint components required for fitment.
Yes. Most modellers can complete the swap using standard hand tools. Take care to check alignment and retention clips during assembly.
Regularly clean the universal joints and re-apply light grease after dusty sessions. Replace worn cross joints to avoid increased play in the front end.
