Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
These axles are primarily designed for the Tamiya TG10 series chassis, including specific variants like the TG10 Mercedes CLK-GTR, TG10 Raybrig NSX, TG10 Mk.1 Chassis Kit, TG10 Lexus GS400, and others listed in the product details. They are also confirmed to be suitable for the WR02, WR02G, Wild Willy 2, GF-01, and TT02T models. Always cross-reference the part number (50808) with your specific Tamiya model's manual or parts list to ensure compatibility before purchase.
Setup:
Installation typically involves removing the existing wheel axles and drive shafts. Carefully insert the new 39mm axles into the differential and the wheel hub assemblies. Ensure they seat correctly and do not bind. It is recommended to apply a small amount of grease to the splines where the axle meets the hub to ensure smooth rotation and longevity.
Care:
To maintain optimal performance, regularly inspect the axles for any signs of wear, bending, or damage. Clean them of dirt and debris after each use, especially after running in dusty or wet conditions. A mild cleaning solution and a soft brush can be used if necessary, followed by thorough drying. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the material.
