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