Strengthen the TB-04 Drivetrain with Aluminium Shafts

Owners seeking a balanced upgrade for the TB-04 should consider the Tamiya 54585 aluminium pilot shafts. These components substitute the stock shafts with lighter, stiffer parts that help the motor transfer torque with less energy loss.

Performance Benefits of Aluminium

Aluminium offers a favourable strength-to-weight ratio, which reduces rotating mass while keeping components resilient. Swapping to aluminium pilot shafts tends to smooth power delivery and reduce drivetrain wear in regular use.

Designed for TB-04

The Tamiya 54585 pilot shafts are manufactured to fit TB-04 chassis designs precisely, allowing for quick installation without further machining or modifications.

No bushing changes are usually required. Inspect existing bearings and replace any that show wear before installing the Tamiya 54585 shafts.
Aluminium increases durability over stock plastic shafts, but extreme off road bashing can still damage them; for heavy impacts consider hardened steel upgrades.
Yes, the reduced rotating weight and improved reliability from the Tamiya 54585 set can be a sensible investment for consistent lap times and lower maintenance.
