Practical aluminium main shaft for TA01 and DF01 drivetrains

The JAZRIDER Aluminum Main Drive Shaft with Joint JR-TA100-LB is engineered as a direct replacement for the stock plastic drive shaft on Tamiya TA01 and DF01 models. It offers improved rigidity between the front and rear gearboxes and is finished in light blue anodize for corrosion resistance.

Material and service considerations

Aluminium offers higher fatigue strength than plastic while keeping component mass low, making it a sensible choice for hobbyists seeking longevity and repeatable service intervals. The anodized surface reduces surface oxidation and simplifies cleaning during maintenance.

Installation and routine checks

Installation is straightforward: remove the original plastic shaft and fit the JAZRIDER aluminium unit, ensuring joint fasteners are torqued to recommended levels and the shaft rotates without binding. Periodic inspection of joints and splines will ensure continued reliability under normal running conditions.

What routine checks should I perform after fitting JR-TA100-LB?

Check joint fasteners for security, inspect splines for wear, and verify the shaft rotates freely without binding. Re-torque fasteners after initial running to maintain correct preload.

Is the aluminium shaft serviceable in the field?

Yes. The JAZRIDER JR-TA100-LB is straightforward to service; carry basic tools to re-torque joints and clear debris from splines during track or club sessions.

Any compatibility notes for higher torque setups?

The aluminium shaft increases drivetrain robustness compared with plastic, but for very high torque powertrains inspect adjacent drivetrain parts and consider reinforced companion components where appropriate.
