Tamiya 54516 XV-01 Rear Universal Shaft Assembly - 2 Piece Set  [54516]

Rear universal shaft upgrade for the XV-01 chassis

The Tamiya 54516 RC XV-01 Assembly Universal Shaft set is supplied to enhance rear driveline behaviour on XV-01 cars. Focusing on the rear of the chassis, these shafts help smooth power delivery and improve handling consistency.

Performance benefits overview

Installing the rear universal shafts brings these main benefits:

• Improved Drivetrain Efficiency: The universal joint arrangement reduces frictional losses so more power gets to the tyres.
• Enhanced Stability: Smoother joint movement assists in maintaining consistent wheel contact through bends.
• Reduced Dislodgement Risk: The universal design is less likely to eject from hubs in impacts compared to dog-bone styles.

Package contents and compatibility

The set includes two 39mm drive shafts plus wheel axles and cross joints. It is compatible with Tamiya XV-01 and XV-01T chassis models and is not suitable for the XV-01 TC chassis.
