Refine TC-01 driveline efficiency

The Tamiya 54961 Double Cardan Prop Shaft offers a durable steel alternative to the standard dog-bone arrangement, helping to deliver power more evenly through the TC-01 chassis. It is favoured where smoother driveline action is needed.

How the Double Cardan helps

With true rotation at off angles, the Double Cardan design cuts down on binding and wasted energy compared to conventional dog-bone setups. The steel construction also improves wear resistance for longer service life under load.

Compatibility and kit contents

Specifically made for the TC-01, this shaft is a direct replacement for the kit dog-bone and cup parts. Note that each package contains parts for one shaft only, so two packages are required for both front and rear axles.

Yes, the Double Cardan is compatible with standard TC-01 diff and gear setups, but always confirm clearance when using lowered or heavily modified gearboxes.
By improving joint alignment and reducing slop, many users notice a reduction in drivetrain chatter, though noise also depends on gear mesh and bearings.
Routine checks for wear and occasional light lubrication of the joints will keep the shaft performing well. Inspect after heavy runs to catch any early wear.
