Keep Your Classic Buggy Running - Tamiya 9808265

The Tamiya 9808265 rear drive shaft set is aimed at enthusiasts who want straightforward, reliable parts for vintage Tamiya buggies. It supports consistent rear drive operation on models such as Fighter Buggy, Sand Scorcher and Buggy Champ.

Models and Material

This shaft set fits several well known Tamiya kits, including 84389 Fighter Buggy, 58452 Sand Scorcher and 58441 Buggy Champ. Built with attention to fit and finish, the components reduce drivetrain lash and help maintain wheel alignment under load.

Practical Advantages

Durability: Suited to repeated off-road running and vintage restoration work.
Compatibility: Intended to work as a replacement for multiple classic Tamiya buggy types.
Performance: Promotes smoother rotation in the rear drivetrain for better traction.

How do I check that these shafts will fit my chassis?

Compare shaft lengths and mounting hole positions to your existing parts. The set is designed for the listed Tamiya models, so matching the part numbers 84389, 58452 or 58441 is a good start.

Should I lubricate the shafts before fitting?

A light coat of suitable grease on the drive splines and bearings helps reduce wear and noise. Avoid over-greasing, which can attract grit and cause premature wear on vintage parts.

Will these improve handling on loose surfaces?

By reducing drivetrain play and smoothing power delivery, they can improve traction consistency on sand and loose dirt, especially on restored machines.

Can I upgrade further after fitting these shafts?

Yes. Once the rear shafts are sorted, consider checking diff condition, bearings and pinion/spur mesh to get the best overall drivetrain performance.
