Fit Tamiya TA02 4WD and FWD cars with robust universal shafts

The Tamiya 53172 Universal Shaft Set is a machined aluminium upgrade tailored for TA02 4WD and FWD RC vehicles. Built to withstand track demands, these shafts promote smoother rotation and reduce drivetrain wear during spirited running.

What the Tamiya 53172 Universal Shaft Set Brings

Material: Machined aluminium for toughness without excessive weight
Compatibility: Suited to 4WD TA02 and FWD chassis, including specific models like the Idemitsu Motion Mugen Civic and Castrol Celica
Functionality: Helps improve torque transfer and lowers component fatigue in race conditions

Is special tooling required to fit the shafts?

No specialised tools are necessary beyond basic RC hand tools; a small hex driver and thread locker are usually sufficient for secure installation.

Will aluminium shafts withstand heavy jumps and landings?

They are more resistant to wear and bending than stock plastic parts, but extreme impacts can still damage any shaft. Inspect after hard hits.

Can I reuse my old drive cups with these shafts?

Often yes, but check for fit and play. Worn cups can introduce slop that negates the benefit of the new Tamiya 53172 shafts.

Are replacement parts available for the shaft set?

Individual components such as pins and collars may be available from Tamiya spares; keep part numbers handy when ordering.
