Tamiya 54162 F104 Carbon Rear Shaft Upgrade Kit - Racing Ready  [54162]

Sharpen F104 performance with the Tamiya 54162 carbon shaft

The Tamiya 54162 Carbon Rear Shaft is designed for hobbyists who want a lightweight, low-friction upgrade for the F104 platform. It helps the drivetrain turn more freely while keeping overall weight low.

Which cars it suits and how to fit

This part is compatible with F104 chassis cars and can be adapted to the F103RM and the F103 15th Anniversary Chassis Kit (Item 84056) when used alongside the F104 Aluminum Diff. Housing Set (Item 54158). Check clearances and gear alignment when fitting to other models.

Why fit a carbon rear shaft

Reducing friction in the rear driveline improves acceleration response and produces smoother control inputs. The reduced mass also helps maintain speed through corners and during quick direction changes.
