Tamiya 15440 - 60mm Hollow Stainless Shaft Overview

The Tamiya 15440 60mm Hollow Stainless Shaft is a straightforward upgrade for Mini 4WD racers seeking to reduce rotating mass. By using hollow stainless construction, these shafts trim drive-train weight to help your car feel sharper and more responsive on the circuit.

Weight Savings and Chassis Fit

These hollow stainless shafts are designed to save about 1 gram versus standard solid shafts. That small reduction in mass can improve acceleration and lap consistency. They are compatible with a broad range of Mini 4WD chassis, including Type 1, Type 3, Type 5, Super 1, FM, TZ, TZ-X, VS, and MS, so you can drop them into many common builds.

On-Track Benefits and Handling

Installing the Tamiya 15440 shafts reduces rotational inertia, which helps the car pick up speed quicker and retain higher top speed in long straights. The lighter drive-train also contributes to more predictable handling during turns, aiding stability when pushing for faster lap times.

No change to standard gear mesh is expected. The Tamiya 15440 shaft uses the same external dimensions as stock shafts, so fitment in compatible gearboxes and supports should be direct.
Savings are modest but measurable when combined with other lightweight parts. Expect improved acceleration and slightly better consistency rather than dramatic single-part gains.
Keep the shafts clean and check for burrs after heavy runs. A light grease on bearings helps longevity, while avoiding excess lubricant on the shaft can prevent fling onto nearby components.
