Rear CV style universal shafts for XV-01 models

The Tamiya 54516 RC XV-01 Assembly Universal Shaft set is intended to upgrade the rear driveline on XV-01 cars. These universal shafts promote cleaner torque delivery and improved rear stability for spirited driving.

Why choose universal shafts

Key functional benefits you will notice include:

  • Improved Drivetrain Efficiency: Lower internal friction helps maintain motor output through the drivetrain to the wheels.
  • Enhanced Stability: Better joint articulation improves tyre contact in corners for more predictable handling.
  • Reduced Dislodgement Risk: Compared to dog-bone shafts, universal joints are less prone to popping out after impacts.

What is included and fitment

The kit includes two 39mm drive shafts with matching wheel axles and cross joints. It is compatible with Tamiya XV-01 and XV-01T chassis types and is not compatible with the XV-01 TC chassis.

Universal shafts can lower play compared to worn dog-bones when correctly installed, which helps reduce perceived backlash and improves throttle response.
In most cases they mate with the stock rear hub assemblies on XV-01 and XV-01T models. Verify clearance and joint alignment during trial fit.
Cross joints wear over time. Check with parts dealers for replacement cross joints compatible with the 54516 assembly to keep your shafts serviceable.
