Wheel Axles - TB03 vs TA05

Recommended Posts

Long time no-login, hope everybody is doing well? Work is busy so RC took a back seat, now I'm back at it trying to finish my various projects!

One of these projects is a TA05 built with leftover parts from fully hopping-up a TA05R IFS.

I bought Tamiya 54076 TB03 Wheel Axles for use with the right 48mm swing shafts front and rear (thanks @svenb). The package header card even says "compatible with TA05IFS"...

Yet once fitted, there is physical movement in the axle. It doesn't sit tight against the outside hex adapter, instead, there's about a 2.5-3mm gap behind the 12mm hex pin adapter, which allows the axle to move in/out relative to the hub, which can't be right.

I looked in my TA05R manual and the recommended part is Tamiya 51094 "Wheel Axle for TB Evo IV / TRF415"

The question is; will this actually fix my problem? They don't look (from the images I've found) to be that significantly different in shape! I don't want to throw another £20 at this build if I can help it!

Depends on what uprights you are using mate, the later tb03 uprights are slightly deeper so suits the 54076.

Sounds like you have the earlier ta05 uprights so you need the 51092.

Ive a set of 4 you can have😉👍

Yep, the Uprights changed design and the axles got longer. Post a pic of the uprights you are using in your build and we can confirm which ones will fit.
