Technical drivetrain upgrade by JAZRIDER

The JAZRIDER Aluminum Main Drive Shaft with Joint for the Tamiya TA-02 is engineered as a direct replacement for the stock plastic shaft. Machined aluminium components offer improved torsional rigidity and reduced wear under repeated loading, providing a dependable upgrade for regular running and development testing.

Chassis compatibility and behaviour

Dimensionally matched to TA-02 mounting points, the JR-TA200-DB integrates with standard hub and coupling locations. The stiffer aluminium shaft reduces play in the driveline, enhancing repeatable power transfer and allowing more consistent setup adjustments during tuning sessions.

Fitting procedure and maintenance

Installation follows a simple swap workflow: remove the original shaft, verify alignment, and install the JAZRIDER unit with the correct fastening sequence. Inspect joint clearance after initial use, and perform routine checks on fasteners and contact surfaces. Light corrosion prevention is advisable after exposure to moisture.

What tolerance improvements does the aluminium shaft deliver?

The aluminium construction reduces flex compared with plastic, improving torsional response and reducing cumulative play in the driveline under repeated torque cycles.

Are there recommended torque settings for mounting hardware?

Use factory recommended torque for hub and coupling screws. Avoid over-tightening which can induce preload on bearings; a snug feel with a final small quarter turn is typical for these fasteners.

How does this part affect tuning choices?

With a stiffer main shaft, suspension and diff tuning become more predictable since drivetrain compliance is reduced. Expect more direct feedback when adjusting camber, toe, and diff setup.
