Upgrade driveline reliability with Tamiya 39mm shafts

For model builders seeking a dependable driveline upgrade, these 39mm drive shafts from Tamiya are tailored for double cardan joint applications. Manufactured from robust steel, they deliver consistent wear resistance. The supplied needle pins are 10.8mm long, which helps when combined with reinforced swing shaft caps for tougher use.

Which chassis and setups are supported

The 39mm shafts are compatible with the Tamiya TC-01 and TB-05 PRO chassis. They suit direct coupling arrangements and are useful for keeping power delivery efficient through angled joints. Recommended companion parts include Item 42372 or items 42218 to 42221 in the Tamiya range.

Installation notes for best results

Align the shafts carefully with the double cardan joints during installation to avoid binding and uneven wear. Regular checks of the pins and caps will help preserve smooth operation, particularly after offroad sessions.

Will these shafts work in custom builds?

They are designed for TC-01 and TB-05 PRO geometry. Custom projects may need adapters or different lengths, so measure your setup and consult Tamiya compatibility guides before modifying.

Do the needle pins require special lubrication?

Use a light, long-lasting grease on the joint areas. Avoid heavy pastes that attract grit. Periodic relubrication extends service life of the 10.8mm needle pins.

Are reinforced caps necessary?

Using reinforced swing shaft caps helps protect the pins and the shaft ends under high loads, reducing the chance of premature wear or slop in the driveline.
