This machined 58mm aluminium dog bone is an aftermarket drivetrain replacement built for the TAMIYA DT-03 chassis and supplied as a 1pr set for 1/10-scale RC models. It replaces stock plastic dog bones with a machined metal component while remaining intended for model use only.
Typical installation mirrors standard DT-03 dog bone replacement procedure: remove the wheel hub and driveshaft retainers, extract the original dog bone, install the 58mm aluminium dog bone into the outdrive cups and hubs, then reassemble and inspect axial clearance. The geometry is sized to DT-03 specifications, so check clip retention and orientation before use.
As a tuning change, aluminium dog bones deliver a firmer connection and altered wear behaviour versus plastic items; include routine checks of joint ends and light lubrication at contact points to keep the drivetrain reliable.
