Give your TA05 better response with a blue swing shaft

Hobbyists seeking crisper rear response on the TA05 will find the Tamiya 53871 - 48mm Aluminum Rear Swing Shaft for TA05 Chassis a tidy upgrade. The 48mm shaft is made from lightweight aluminium and finished in blue anodising, reducing rotating mass while retaining the necessary rigidity for on-road tuning.

Compatibility notes and fitting guide

This swing shaft works with the TA05 chassis that includes the Reversible Lightweight Suspension, ITEM 51094 TB Evolution 4 Wheel Axle, and ITEM 53500 Assembly Universal Shaft Cross Joint. It is also compatible with the F201 chassis when fitted with ITEM 53522 F201 Universal Shaft. Installation is user friendly for those familiar with Tamiya assembly procedures.

Is this shaft suitable for light grass or dirt surfaces?

It is primarily designed for on-road use, but it will tolerate light grass or hard-packed dirt if the rest of the setup is protected and the track is not overly rough.

How does it affect rear-end balance?

By lowering rotating mass at the rear, the swing shaft can improve turn-in and mid-corner stability. Expect a slightly sharper feel under steering inputs.

Do I need to change driveshafts when fitting this part?

No, the shaft is designed to work with the listed universal assemblies; just confirm compatibility with your existing ITEM parts before tightening up.

Any lubrication advice for installation?

Light grease on splines and a threadlocker where metal screws meet aluminium will help reduce wear and prevent loosening during use.
