Tune your F104 with the Tamiya 54162 carbon rear shaft

The Tamiya 54162 Carbon Rear Shaft is a practical upgrade aimed at drivers who want improved throttle feel and reduced mechanical drag. The carbon construction keeps rotating mass down while promoting freer diff rotation.

Compatibility and installation tips

This shaft is made for F104 chassis models and can be converted for use with F103RM or the F103 15th Anniversary Chassis Kit (Item 84056) when combined with the F104 Aluminum Diff. Housing Set (Item 54158). Make sure to check alignment when adapting to other kits.

Benefits in everyday running

Lower friction in the rear assembly gives smoother power delivery and steadier handling at speed. The lightweight shaft helps preserve momentum and improves consistency across multiple runs.

You can use it with F103RM when paired with the F104 Aluminum Diff. Housing Set (Item 54158). Some minor setup changes may be required.
Expect cleaner throttle transitions and a reduction in drivetrain drag that can make corner exits smoother and more controllable.
Keep the shaft free of grit, inspect for wear at contact points, and confirm bearings and diff housing are clean to maintain low friction.
