Performance Upgrade for GB-03 Builds

The Tamiya 40558 aluminium propeller shaft is a solid replacement for the GB-03 TT-Gear chassis. With a hard-wearing aluminium body and blue coating, it provides a dependable connection in the drivetrain to help maintain consistent power transfer during runs.

Model Fit Notes

Designed specifically for the Tamiya GB-03 TT-Gear, this shaft offers a close fit and straightforward installation. The lighter aluminium construction helps reduce rotating weight, which can improve responsiveness and cornering behaviour.

Mounting Suggestions

Fit the propeller shaft with attention to alignment and fastener torque to avoid vibration. Check the shaft after off-road or rough-surface use and replace it if you find looseness, scoring, or deformation.

Can the Tamiya 40558 be used in other Tamiya kits?

This part is made for the GB-03 TT-Gear and will fit that setup without modification. Other kits may differ in coupling style or length, so confirm dimensions before swapping parts.

What routine checks should I perform?

Regularly inspect splines and bearing interfaces for wear, keep mounting areas free of dirt, and ensure screws remain secure. Early detection of issues protects other drivetrain components.

Is the blue finish purely cosmetic?

The blue coating gives visual appeal and some surface protection, but the main benefit comes from the aluminium construction which balances strength and weight.

Any tips for installation tools?

Use the correct-sized hex drivers or wrenches for set screws and tighten progressively to maintain alignment. Hand tools that prevent over-torque are recommended to avoid damage.
