Give your drivetrain a lighter touch

For those tuning small-scale rigs, the Tamiya 54586 lightweight gear shaft is a straightforward way to reduce rotating weight. It is tailored for GF-01, WR-02 and WT-01 chassis to sharpen throttle response and steering feel.

What the lighter construction delivers

Using a reduced-wall tubing method, the Tamiya 54586 trims about 5 grams versus the standard parts. The change - from 7.6g down to 2.5g - helps wheels accelerate faster and improves turn-in on transitions.

Compatibility and quick swap-in

Compatible with GF-01, WR-02, WR-02G and WT-01 models, these shafts are a bolt-in replacement. The swap is quick for anyone familiar with basic drivetrain maintenance.

No change to gear ratios is needed. The part only reduces rotating mass, so gearing stays the same while acceleration feel improves.
Yes, they are a common lightweight upgrade for racers seeking quicker response, though they should be checked regularly in competitive use.
Look for bends, scoring, or loosening at the ends. Replace if you see deformation or excessive play to avoid drivetrain failure.
The shafts work with the same bearings and bushings used in the kit. There is no need to change those parts when upgrading the shaft.
