Reduce drivetrain inertia with a precision replacement

Model builders seeking sharper control can fit the Tamiya 54586 lightweight gear shaft. Engineered for GF-01, WR-02 and WT-01 platforms, it trims rotating weight to refine handling and responsiveness.

How a lighter shaft helps on track

The Tamiya 54586 uses a lightweight tubing approach to shave about 5 grams off the stock component. The change - from 7.6g to 2.5g - lowers rotational load and yields quicker revs and improved turn-in behaviour.

Models supported and installation notes

These shafts suit GF-01, WR-02, WR-02G and WT-01 chassis types. Installation is designed to be straightforward for hobbyists familiar with routine drivetrain service.

Will the lightweight shaft change handling noticeably?

Yes, you should notice crisper acceleration and slightly sharper steering response due to reduced rotating mass, especially on throttle transitions.

Can I reuse the original shaft if needed?

The original shaft can be kept as a spare. Both parts share the same mounting points, so swapping back is straightforward if required.

Any recommended maintenance after fitting?

Check for play or scoring during routine maintenance and ensure end fittings remain tight. Regular inspection helps maintain reliable performance.

Do they work with WR-02G variants?

Yes, the shafts are listed as compatible with WR-02G as well as GF-01, WR-02 and WT-01 models.
