Performance-Oriented Carbon Shafts for TA Chassis

The Tamiya 53164 RC 4WD Hollow Carbon Shaft Set is aimed at TA-01 and TA-02 owners wanting a strong yet light replacement for stock shafts. The carbon build reduces rotating mass while keeping the stiffness needed for predictable handling on mixed surfaces.

What Makes These Tamiya Shafts Useful

Compatibility: Made to match TA-01, TA-02 and TA-02W chassis geometries.
Material: High-quality carbon provides a good strength-to-weight ratio for performance-minded builds.
Color: Black coating for a subtle, tidy appearance.
Included Components: Contains long, medium and short shaft pieces to suit the chassis layout.
Installation Note: Bearings are not supplied; fit appropriate ball bearings to ensure smooth rotation.

Can I use these on tuned TA-02 builds?

Yes, they are suitable for TA-02 tuning projects, particularly where reduced weight and increased drivetrain stiffness are desired. Confirm shaft lengths match your setup.

Should I upgrade bearings when installing these?

Upgrading to sealed or higher-quality bearings is recommended to lower friction and improve longevity when using lightweight carbon shafts.

Are these shafts brittle compared to metal?

Carbon offers a different failure mode than metal - it is stiff and light but can crack under extreme impact. For normal racing and hobby use it performs reliably when installed correctly.
