Tamiya 60mm Hollow Stainless Steel Shaft(15440)

This 60mm rear shaft is hollow stainless steel, cutting rotating mass compared with the solid shaft supplied in most kits while Tamiya states it keeps the same strength. Lower rotating weight at the wheels means less energy is needed to spin the drivetrain up to speed, which shows up mainly as quicker acceleration off the start. Tamiya's product copy names Type 1, Type 3, Type 5, Super-1, FM, TZ, TZ-X, VS, and MS chassis machines specifically, while its broader chassis compatibility listing for this part also covers FM-A, Super-II, Super FM, AR, MA, VZ, and ME chassis, reflecting how the 60mm rear shaft dimension has stayed constant across most of Tamiya's chassis generations since the Type 3. Released in November 2011 as Grade-Up Part No.440, it is a common companion upgrade to hollow front shafts and aluminum-hub wheels for racers cutting rotating mass across the whole drivetrain rather than just the motor end.
