A good match for racers and weekend builders, the Tamiya 53244 gives a useful balance of durability and lower inertia for everyday TGX use.

Can I use this shaft with aftermarket bearings?

Yes, it works with standard TGX bearing locations, but confirm inner diameters and spacing when swapping to different bearing types to avoid misalignment.

How much weight does the carbon shaft save?

Weight savings vary by comparison to the stock metal shaft, but carbon typically lowers rotating mass which improves responsiveness; exact figures depend on the specific original part.

Is this part suitable for competition use?

Many racers use carbon hop-ups for durability and reduced inertia. Ensure the rest of your drivetrain and mounting hardware are in good condition for reliable race performance.

Any tips for fitting the shaft evenly?

Check for straightness before final installation, use proper shims if needed, and rotate the assembly by hand to confirm the shaft turns freely without wobble.
