Tamiya 53418 TL-01 Performance Universal Joint  [53418]

Improve TL-01 Drive Response with Tamiya 53418

Hobbyists tuning a TL-01 will find the Tamiya 53418 Universal Shaft a practical upgrade. Specifically matched to the TL-01 series, it replaces fragile dog bones and creates a more positive connection from the transmission to the wheels for neater power delivery and steadier cornering.

Why Use a Universal Joint on TL-01

By cutting down drivetrain lash and flex, the universal joint helps the motor transfer torque more directly to the tyres. This improves launch control and reduces stress on internal gears, which helps extend the life of the drive components when running frequently.

Assembly Hints and Upkeep

Fitting the Tamiya 53418 is a routine job but attention to cleanliness and alignment matters. Check parts for burrs, apply light lubricant to the moving surfaces, and recheck fasteners after initial runs to keep the shaft working smoothly.
