Do I need any special tools to install these?

Standard RC car maintenance tools such as screwdrivers, hex wrenches, and potentially pliers or tweezers will be necessary for installation. Refer to your chassis manual for a complete tool list.

How many drive shafts are included in the set?

The set contains 2 pieces, which are the drive shafts needed for the front or rear of the chassis, depending on the specific setup you are working on.

Can these shafts be used for both front and rear drivetrains?

Where can I find installation instructions?

The best resource for installation instructions is the official Tamiya manual for your specific TT-01 chassis model. You may also find helpful guides online from the RC community.

Troubleshooting

Drive shaft not rotating smoothly

Ensure the drive shafts are correctly aligned and not binding. Check for any debris or obstructions in the drivetrain. Verify that the chassis screws are not overtightened, which could cause chassis flex.

Drive shaft broke or bent

Inspect the surrounding drivetrain components for any damage or misalignment that may have caused excessive stress. Consider upgrading other drivetrain parts if frequent breakages occur under demanding conditions.

Excessive noise from the drivetrain

Check for proper lubrication of all moving parts in the drivetrain. Ensure the drive shafts are seated correctly and that no foreign objects are interfering with their rotation.
