Tidy TB-04 Upgrade Using Aluminium Shafts

For TB-04 enthusiasts looking to lengthen service intervals and sharpen drive feel, the Tamiya 54585 aluminium pilot shafts are a sensible swap. They replace the standard kit shafts with parts that balance low mass and good toughness, helping the motor transmit torque more reliably.

Advantages of Aluminium Pilot Shafts

Aluminium provides a favourable trade off between weight and strength, useful where cutting rotating weight matters. Upgrading to aluminium pilot shafts often yields steadier acceleration and less drivetrain strain during sustained runs.

Compatibility and Installation

The Tamiya 54585 shafts are designed to drop into TB-04 chassis layouts without extra modification, making the upgrade straightforward for model builders.

Yes, they are compatible with the TB-04 family; check for worn bearings or other parts before fitting to ensure smooth operation.
You may notice crisper throttle response because of reduced rotational inertia, but overall handling remains governed by suspension and tyre setup.
Keep shaft bearings clean and lightly greased, and check for play regularly to get the best life from the Tamiya 54585 parts.
