Robust Drive Shafts Built for F201 Chassis

When durability is the priority, the Tamiya 53514 Reinforced Propeller Shaft Set provides a stronger alternative to stock parts for the F201. Constructed from high grade steel, the shafts are made to resist repeated stress and frequent track use. Flattened shaft ends help maintain a secure fit into the differential cups to limit rotational slip.

Key Measurements and Build Notes

  • Material: High-strength steel for durability and reliability
  • Compatibility: Specifically designed for Tamiya F201 chassis
  • Includes: One short shaft (50 mm) and one long shaft (117 mm)
  • Diameter: 5.25 mm for consistent performance

Practical Installation Hints

Installing the Tamiya 53514 is straightforward but aligning the flats with differential cup slots is essential. After assembly, spin the drivetrain to verify free rotation and check mounting screws for proper torque.

Performance Advantages for Enthusiasts

Replacing weaker shafts with these steel units reduces drivetrain flex and helps maintain efficient power transfer. For drivers who demand reliability during intense sessions, this upgrade reduces the chance of shaft failure.

Yes, they are intended as direct replacements for shafts that match F201 dimensions. Verify the short and long shaft lengths before fitting.
Use recommended drivetrain greases or oils where appropriate. Keep contact points lubricated but avoid excess that attracts dirt.
Stiffer shafts reduce drivetrain compliance, which can make throttle response crisper. Handling changes are subtle and depend on the rest of your setup.
Minor straightening may be possible, but significant damage usually warrants replacement to avoid drivetrain issues.
