Tamiya 54515 RC XV-01 Front Universal Shaft Assembly (2 Pieces) OP.1515 - Durable Front Shafts  [54515]

Reliable Front Drive Upgrade for the XV-01

The Tamiya 54515 RC XV-01 Assembly Universal Shaft (Front/2Pcs.) is a targeted upgrade aimed at improving the front driveline on XV-01 cars. These front universal shafts are shaped to fit the XV-01 front geartrain and provide a sturdier connection under load.

Cleaner Torque Transfer

Replacing dog-bone links with universal shafts reduces binding and lost motion in the front drivetrain, delivering more direct torque to the wheels and a sharper throttle response during corner exits.

Enhanced Front-End Stability

With universal joints installed the front tyres maintain contact more consistently, which improves steering predictability and makes high speed direction changes more controllable.

Less Risk of Shaft Ejection

Universal shafts seat more securely than conventional dog-bones, minimising the chance of driveshafts popping free in impacts and reducing time spent repairing mid-run failures.
