Streamline Your DT-03 Drivetrain

Replace heavy stock shafts on the DT-03 with the Tamiya 54560 Lightweight Gear Shaft set to reduce rotating inertia. These shafts are built to match the DT-03 chassis and offer a lighter alternative to kit parts.

What the Tamiya 54560 Shafts Deliver

Manufactured from sturdy pipe material, these shafts are designed to take the place of the spur and counter gear shafts. The lighter build reduces the drivetrain mass and helps with heat dispersion during longer runs.

Product Details

  • Two 5x45mm gear shafts included
  • Engineered for a precise DT-03 chassis fit
  • Supports improved drivetrain efficiency and better thermal behaviour

Excellent service. Package arrived on time. All contents were there. Will buy again from seller in the future for Tamiya products/hop-ups.

Are these a direct swap for the DT-03 stock shafts?

Yes, they are intended as a direct replacement for the DT-03 spur and counter gear shafts. Confirm fit and gear alignment during installation.

Will lighter shafts affect drivetrain durability?

When used properly, lighter shafts reduce load on moving parts by lowering inertia, but inspect regularly for wear especially after high load sessions.

What fit checks should I perform?

Check bearing seating, ensure gears mesh without binding, and run the gearbox by hand to verify smooth rotation before using at speed.

Can these improve motor efficiency?

Reducing rotating mass can lower the energy required to spin the drivetrain, which may slightly reduce motor load under certain conditions.

Do I need to change gear ratios after fitting?

Gear ratios are generally left unchanged; focus on gear mesh and tuning elsewhere in the setup first and only alter ratios if aiming for different top speed or acceleration characteristics.
