Fine-Tune Your XV-01 with Tamiya 54517

The Tamiya 54517 Front One-Way Set is designed to sharpen the handling of XV-01 series cars. Swapping out the original front gear differential sends braking action to the rear wheels only, encouraging a predictable over-steer trait that helps when threading through complex track layouts. It is suited to hobbyists refining their car for technical driving.

Fitment and Key Traits

Design: Customised housing and cup joint parts crafted for a secure fit and steady performance.
Compatibility: Intended for use with XV-01, XV-01T, and XV-01TC chassis variants.
Functionality: Improves steering response by applying braking load to the rear wheels alone.

Can I switch back to the stock front differential later?

Yes, the one-way set can be removed and the stock front differential refitted without permanent changes, provided you keep the original parts.

Will this affect my car's balance?

It shifts braking bias rearward under deceleration, which increases over-steer tendency; you may need to tweak spring rates or toe settings to regain balance.

Is special maintenance required?

Routine checks for wear on the cup joints and housing, plus periodic cleaning of gears, will keep the unit working reliably.
