Refine F104 handling with Tamiya 54162 carbon rear shaft

The Tamiya 54162 Carbon Rear Shaft offers a simple, effective upgrade for F104 owners who want crisper throttle control and less drivetrain drag. Its carbon build trims weight while helping the diff spin with lower resistance for smoother lap times.

Fitment and fitting notes

This rear shaft fits F104 chassis variants. It can also be adapted to F103RM and the F103 15th Anniversary Chassis Kit (Item 84056) when used together with the F104 Aluminum Diff. Housing Set (Item 54158). That makes it a handy option for mixed Tamiya fleets.

On-track advantages

Cutting friction in the rear drivetrain helps deliver steadier throttle response and cleaner transitions through corners. The lighter shaft supports consistent speed and better driver confidence during practice or racing.

Yes. The Tamiya 54162 fits standard F104 geartrain layouts. Check gear mesh and clearances during installation to avoid binding.
Installation is straightforward with basic hobby tools: small hex drivers, pliers and a steady workbench. Use thread locker where applicable.
For club-level on-road racing the reduced friction and improved throttle feel are noticeable, especially in lap-to-lap consistency. Pair with a well tuned diff for best results.
