Performance Front Shaft for T3-01 Chassis

The Tamiya 54842 T3-01 Aluminum Front Axle Shaft gives a lighter alternative to the stock MC8 piece, helping reduce front-end mass and refine steering feel on T3-01 platforms like the Dancing Rider.

Notable Features

Material: Robust aluminum alloy for balance of strength and lightness
Compatibility: Specifically produced for T3-01 series models
Included Components: Includes one aluminium front axle shaft and the needed 3x10mm screws for fitting

Is this a direct swap with the MC8 stock shaft?

Yes, it is designed as a direct replacement for the MC8 style shaft used on T3-01 cars, so installation is straightforward.

Will the lighter shaft affect handling balance?

Lightening the front reduces rotational inertia and can make steering crisper; you may need to tweak toe or camber to suit your driving style.

Any corrosion concerns with aluminium near other metals?

Aluminium is generally corrosion resistant, but avoid prolonged exposure to salt or moisture and check mating surfaces for galvanic wear.

Can I use the same screws from my original setup?

The part ships with 3x10mm screws, but if your originals are in good condition they can be reused. Replace stripped screws to ensure a secure fit.
