Rear universal shaft upgrade for the XV-01

The Tamiya 54516 RC XV-01 Assembly Universal Shaft set is built to boost the rear-end performance of your XV-01. Fitted to the rear of the XV-01 chassis, these universal shafts help deliver smoother power transfer and improved stability in cornering.

Advantages of fitting universal shafts

After installing these rear shafts you can expect these practical benefits:

  • Improved Drivetrain Efficiency: Universal shafts cut down on friction and drivetrain loss so more motor power reaches the wheels.
  • Enhanced Stability: Better contact at the wheels helps the car hold lines through tight bends with more confidence.
  • Reduced Dislodgement Risk: Compared with standard dog-bone drives, universal shafts are less likely to pop free during impacts, giving more consistent performance.

Fitment notes

The kit contains two 39mm drive shafts plus wheel axles and cross joints, made for the Tamiya XV-01 and XV-01T chassis. This set is not compatible with the XV-01 TC chassis.

Yes. The Tamiya 54516 shafts are specified for both XV-01 and XV-01T variants and install at the rear axle locations included on those chassis types.
Installation is straightforward with basic RC tools. Remove the rear hubs, swap the old dog-bones for the 39mm universal shafts and reassemble. Check pin and joint retention during final setup.
Regularly inspect cross joints and axles for wear and clean out grit after running. Light grease on the joints helps extend service life and keeps driveline smooth.
