Driveline Precision for TGX and Imprezza

The Tamiya 53198 Universal Shaft Set is intended for TGX-MK1 and Imprezza WRC Rally chassis, offering polished silver steel parts for longer service life. The kit is sized to deliver an accurate fit in the specified outdrives.

What This Set Contains

Material: Polished silver steel for long-lasting use
Compatibility: Specifically designed for Tamiya TGX-MK1 and Imprezza WRC Rally models
Components: Includes two universal joints, two black rubber o-rings, and two silver steel cross pins
Dimensions: Length of 87.5mm and shaft diameter of 3.08mm

Fitting Notes for Clean Installation

Install the black o-rings into the vehicle outdrives first, then insert the driveshafts so the pins locate correctly. Proper seating prevents slop and helps keep drivetrain movement controlled.

Can I swap these into other Tamiya kits?

This set is made to the dimensions of TGX-MK1 and Imprezza WRC Rally outdrives. If another model has the same outdrive size and shaft diameter, it may fit, but confirm measurements first.

Is any lubrication required during assembly?

A light coating of corrosion inhibitor or thin grease on the cross pins helps during assembly and reduces wear, but avoid over greasing that attracts dirt.

Do replacement o-rings and pins come separately?

Spare o-rings and cross pins are commonly available from parts suppliers. Keep spares on hand if you run on abrasive surfaces to reduce downtime.
