Trim Weight on the M-08 with Tamiya Aluminum Shafts

For racers and hobbyists wanting crisper handling, the Tamiya 54906 M-08 Concept Aluminum Shaft Set OP-1906 is a straightforward upgrade. The kit swaps the steel center, counter and idler shafts for aluminium versions, cutting overall weight by 5.8 grams to help the car feel more responsive through corners.

Benefits of Switching to Aluminium Shafts

Replacing heavier steel shafts reduces rotational mass, which can lead to quicker acceleration and sharper throttle response. These gains are useful for tight track sections and frequent direction changes where responsiveness matters most.

Fitment and Simple Installation

This shaft set is made for the M-08 Concept chassis and installs without modification, letting you fit the parts with standard hobby tools and get back on the track quickly.

How much weight does the Tamiya 54906 M-08 set save?

The kit reduces the rotating shaft mass by about 5.8 grams. That sounds small but it noticeably improves steering response and transient feel on the M-08.

Will these shafts work in other Tamiya models?

They are engineered for the M-08 Concept chassis. Other models may need different shaft lengths or holes, so check fitment before swapping them into a different kit.

Do I need special tools to fit the aluminium shafts?

Basic hobby tools like hex drivers and needle-nose pliers are enough. Take care during removal and installation to avoid damaging bearings or gears.
