TA05-R Universal Shaft Cushion TA05-IF18 by 3Racing  [TA05-IF18]

Smooth damping for TA05 universal shafts

This TA05-IF18 component is a compact universal shaft cushion made for use with the compatible Tamiya chassis shown below. It fits into the universal shaft assembly to provide mechanical damping between rotating drivetrain parts, cutting down on shock transfer and softening sudden speed changes on a model car.

Fit this cushion when replacing a worn insert or when dialing in drivetrain feel on TA05-derived setups. The part targets fit and damping performance rather than altering gear ratios or electronic behaviour, functioning as a straightforward mechanical tune inside the driveshaft stack.

To install, remove the affected universal shaft section and replace the old cushion with the TA05-IF18 unit, then check alignment and secure retention before running. Inspect the piece regularly for wear and swap it out if you notice excess play or material breakdown.
