Fit the Tamiya 53897 - TA05 Blue Aramid Drive Belt to your TA05

The Tamiya 53897 Blue Aramid Drive Belt is a purpose built replacement for the TA05 chassis that focuses on durability and consistent drivetrain behaviour. The aramid fibre construction resists elongation and helps maintain efficient torque delivery. The blue colouring makes the belt easy to spot when checking for wear, and signals a reinforced build suitable for regular club or track use.

Main Benefits and Specs

Material: Uses aramid fibre for strong tensile properties and low stretch characteristics.
Color: Distinct blue tone for quick visual checks and workshop identification.
Compatibility: Specifically matched to Tamiya TA05 pulley geometry for a correct fit.
Performance: Keeps power transfer consistent, reducing slip and improving drivetrain control.

Can I use this belt for club racing on carpet or asphalt?

Yes, the low-stretch properties of aramid help preserve power transfer under race conditions on both carpet and hard surfaces, though final choice depends on your overall setup.

How does the blue colour help in maintenance?

The blue finish makes it easier to spot damage, misalignment, or glazing during quick inspections, saving time when prepping the car.

Is any special tensioning required after fitment?

Set tension to the standard TA05 specification and recheck after a short run; aramid belts settle quickly but should hold tension better than generic belts.
