Sharper Suspension with a Low Mass Wheel Axle

The Tamiya 53939 Lightweight Wheel Axle is designed for hobbyists wanting crisper chassis feel and faster suspension return. Constructed from robust aluminium, it trims weight without sacrificing the strength needed for regular running.

Matched to Reversible Suspension Platforms

Built for reversible suspension designs, this axle works across multiple Tamiya frames. Its reduced unsprung weight aids wheel control, improving traction and allowing the shocks to work more efficiently on uneven surfaces.

Why Tuners Choose This Axle

Quality Materials: Aluminium construction keeps the part light while providing solid performance life.
Better Suspension Dynamics: Less unsprung weight means the tyres follow bumps more closely, boosting handling precision.
Wide Use: Compatible with chassis that feature reversible suspension, giving flexibility when upgrading.

Can I use this axle on older Tamiya models?

Many older Tamiya kits with reversible suspension accept this axle, but you should compare mounting specs and clearances first to be sure.

Is any special tooling required for installation?

Basic hand tools and a careful setup are usually enough; use thread locker where needed and torque to the chassis maker's recommended values.

Will it change balance or weight distribution?

The axle lowers unsprung mass rather than overall vehicle mass, so it improves wheel control without major changes to weight distribution.

Is this suitable for track and club racing?

Yes, it is a sensible upgrade for club-level track use where improved suspension reaction and consistency are beneficial.
