Front Swing Shaft Upgrade for DB01 Chassis

The Tamiya 54118 front swing shaft is engineered to handle wider joint angles on the DB01 chassis, keeping drive torque flowing even when steering or suspension create steep articulation. Its increased operating range helps maintain consistent wheel drive under load.

Kit Contents and Compatibility

The package contains the parts listed below:

  • WO Front Swing Shaft: 78mm x 2
  • WO Front Axle: x 2
  • Front Upright for 950 Ball Bearing: x 1
  • 950 Ball Bearings: x 2

This assembly fits DB01, TRF501X, and TRF501X WE chassis and replaces the stock front uprights to improve driveline geometry.

Fitting Recommendations

When installing, ensure the cross joint and grub screws are tightened correctly and bearings are seated squarely. Correct assembly reduces play and helps keep power delivery predictable during competitive running.

A basic bearing press or a socket and careful taps work fine. Take care to press bearings straight to avoid damaging the races.
Yes. The wider angle capability helps maintain torque transfer on rough or uneven surfaces where axle angles change frequently.
