Tamiya 53322 - TL-01 Carbon Fiber Gear Shaft Set  [53322]

Drivetrain Upgrade for TL-01 Chassis

For hobbyists wanting a cleaner drivetrain on the TL-01 platform, the Tamiya 53322 Hollow Carbon Gear Shaft set provides a lightweight alternative to standard metal shafts. Made from carbon fiber, these hollow shafts transmit motor torque to the wheels while trimming rotating mass for more responsive acceleration.

Weight Reduction and Drive Efficiency

The carbon fiber construction cuts weight compared to steel shafts and helps reduce rotational inertia, which can make the car feel livelier off the line. These shafts are crafted to keep power transfer smooth and dependable over typical club runs and practice sessions.

Kit Contents

• One 25mm carbon gear shaft
• Two 40mm carbon gear shafts
• One 30mm carbon gear shaft

Each shaft is precision finished to fit TL-01, TL01B, and Stadium Raider layouts as direct replacements for the stock gear shafts. The 5mm outer diameter matches standard gear and bearing interfaces for a straightforward swap.

Fitting Advice

For reliable operation, fit eight 5x11mm bearings with these shafts. The bearings support idler, spur, and counter gears and reduce friction for a smoother drivetrain feel. Check shaft alignment and bearing preload during assembly to avoid premature wear.
