Lightweight tuning piece - Tamiya 15440 - 60mm Hollow Stainless Steel Shaft for Mini 4WD  [15440]

Overview of the Tamiya 15440 60mm Hollow Stainless Shaft

The Tamiya 15440 60mm Hollow Stainless Shaft is aimed at racers who want to shave grams from the drive-train. Hollow stainless construction reduces weight while retaining strength, making it a useful part for tighter, more responsive Mini 4WD setups.

How It Saves Weight and What Fits

These shafts cut roughly 1 gram compared to conventional solid shafts, which can translate to crisper acceleration and steadier lap times. They are suitable for many chassis platforms, including Type 1, Type 3, Type 5, Super 1, FM, TZ, TZ-X, VS, and MS machines, offering good flexibility for upgrades.

Practical Effects on Speed and Control

By reducing rotational mass, the Tamiya 15440 helps the motor accelerate the wheels faster and can boost top speed on longer runs. The lighter shafts also contribute to balanced weight distribution, helping maintain control through corners at higher speeds.
