Upgrade the XV-01 Front with Robust Universal Shafts

If you want a straightforward way to sharpen your Tamiya XV-01's drivability, the Tamiya 54515 RC XV-01 Assembly Universal Shaft (Front/2Pcs.) delivers a practical front-end upgrade. These universal shafts are made to fit the XV-01 front assembly and help refine drivetrain behaviour and handling balance.

Smoother Power Delivery

These universal shafts help lower drivetrain friction compared with traditional dog-bone setups, which smooths out power transfer to the front wheels. The result is crisper acceleration and a more responsive feel during throttle transitions.

Improved Wheel Contact

Fitting front universal shafts can improve the tyre to track interface under load, giving steadier handling during fast cornering and more predictable steering at speed.

Lower Chance of Dislodgement

Dog-bone drives can pop out under impact. Universal shafts provide a more secure connection at the front, reducing on-track interruptions and keeping the drive system engaged.

They are compatible with XV-01 and XV-01T chassis layouts but are not suitable for the XV-01 TC body style.
The set contains two front universal driveshafts, plus the matching wheel axles and cross joints as required for installation.
Basic RC tools such as hex drivers and pliers are usually enough. A bench vise or a shaft pressing tool can help, but most hobbyists fit them with common hand tools.
Keep the joints free of grit and occasionally apply light grease to the cross joints. Inspect for play after heavy runs and replace parts if wear becomes noticeable.
