Improve driveline articulation on your XV-02 with 37mm shafts

The Tamiya 22054 - 37mm Drive Shafts for Double Cardan Joint (2pcs) OP-2054 are designed to smooth power delivery through steep joint angles on the XV-02 chassis. The double cardan configuration shares movement between two joints, lowering stress on the axle and related components for longer service life.

Integration tips and matching parts

These 37mm shafts suit the XV-02 and align with common 37mm universal shaft dimensions, making them straightforward to fit. Pair with recommended Hop-Up parts and the correct 1050 bearings to preserve alignment and reduce vibration.

  • Item 42218: Axle Shaft for Double Cardan Joint Shaft (2pcs.)
  • Item 42219: Joint Casing for Double Cardan Joint Shaft (2pcs.)
  • Item 42220: 1050 Ball Bearing (3mm Thick, 2pcs.)
  • Item 42221: Cross Joint for Double Cardan Joint Shaft (2pcs.)

How do I check shaft alignment after installation?

With the car on stands rotate wheels and inspect for wobble or binding. Confirm bearings are seated, joints move freely, and splines fully engage. Small misalignments can cause premature wear.

Can I upgrade to metal cross joints for durability?

Metal cross joints can increase strength but may alter flex characteristics. If you fit them, check matching tolerances and avoid creating excessive stiffness that could transfer shock to other components.

Is special grease required for the joints?

Use a light waterproof grease for the cross joints and a thin oil for the bearings where specified. Avoid heavy pastes that can attract mud and debris in off-road use.
