The Tamiya 54515 RC XV-01 Assembly Universal Shaft (Front/2Pcs.) is a targeted upgrade for pilots who want cleaner front-end drive behaviour. Built to mate with the XV-01 front section, these shafts improve the drivetrain layout without major chassis changes.
By replacing dog-bone style links with universal joints, mechanical losses are reduced and the drivetrain operates with less binding. That gives smoother torque transfer and a more consistent throttle response on-track.
With the universal joints in place the front wheels keep better contact when loading the suspension, which helps stability through mid to high speed corners and during heavy braking.
Universal shafts sit more securely in their mounts than straight dog-bone pieces, which lowers the risk of the drive elements disconnecting during impacts or rough landings.
