This steel middle shaft joint is an aftermarket replacement made for the Tamiya TT-02 platform. It targets the centre driveshaft connection and offers greater rigidity than factory plastic joints while preserving TT-02 compatibility.
Fitment advice: the component installs in the existing middle shaft location on TT-02 layouts without needing modifications to adjacent driveline parts, so it functions as a direct replacement during repairs and setup work. The finish is black to complement standard TT-02 hardware.
Application notes: installing a steel mid-shaft joint can reduce play in the driveline and help preserve consistent gear engagement under load, which is useful when tuning and testing models. Intended for RC use only.
