Aluminium Front Shaft for Sharper Steering

The Tamiya 54842 T3-01 Aluminum Front Axle Shaft is a lightweight alternative to the stock MC8 unit, aimed at improving steering precision on T3-01 platforms such as the Dancing Rider.

Product Highlights

Material: Lightweight aluminium to reduce front-end inertia
Compatibility: Made for standard T3-01 model installations
Included Components: One aluminium front axle shaft plus the supplied 3x10mm screws for fitting

Is this shaft suitable for track and bashing use?

Yes, aluminium shafts are suitable for track sprinting and light bashing, though extreme impacts may favour steel replacements for durability.

Will I need to adjust my steering trim after fitting?

You should check and fine tune trim settings after installation, as the reduced mass can change steering feel and return-to-centre behaviour.

Are spare screws readily available if I lose one?

3x10mm screws are a common size in RC hardware sets, but replacements can also be sourced from hobby shops if needed.

Does the aluminium shaft require any special lubrication?

Routine light lubrication of adjacent bearings is fine; avoid heavy greases on rotating surfaces where they can attract dirt and affect steering feel.
