The JR-TA200-GU is an aluminium main drive shaft with a joint designed for the TAMIYA TA-02 RC chassis, finished in gun metal. It serves as a replacement or upgrade to the original shaft to help reduce flex and improve consistent power transfer through the car centreline.
Install this part to remedy worn or flexible stock shafts or to choose a metal alternative for increased rotational stiffness. During fitment verify joint seating and shaft straightness, and inspect bearings and gearbox interfaces to ensure smooth rotation before the vehicle's first run.
In tuning terms, a stiffer aluminium shaft changes drivetrain feel during acceleration and corner exit; these effects can influence suspension and differential settings, so re-check setup after installing the shaft.
