Replace your TA05 belt with Tamiya 53897 - TA05 Blue Aramid

The Tamiya 53897 Blue Aramid Drive Belt is a reliable replacement option for the TA05 chassis, engineered to offer improved tensile strength and consistent drive behaviour. Built from aramid fibres, the belt resists stretching and helps maintain smooth power flow to the wheels. The blue colour aids quick checks in the pit and reflects the belt's reinforced construction, a sensible upgrade for hobbyists focused on drivetrain reliability.

Why Choose This Belt

Material: Aramid fibre composition provides strong tensile resistance and minimal stretch.
Color: Blue for easy identification during setup and service.
Compatibility: Cut to fit the Tamiya TA05 pulleys for straightforward installation.
Performance: Improves drive consistency, lowers the chance of slip and enhances drivetrain stability.

Does the belt require a break in period?

A short running period helps seat the belt, but aramid belts typically stabilise quickly compared with cheaper alternatives. Recheck tension after a brief test run.

Can I fit this to a modified TA05 with different pulleys?

It is made for standard TA05 pulley sizes; if you use aftermarket pulleys, confirm the belt length and tooth profile match before fitting.

How often should I inspect the belt for wear?

Check the belt before each outing for fraying, glazing, or looseness and replace if you see any signs of excessive wear to avoid drivetrain issues.
