This centre drive shaft is specified for the Tamiya CC01 chassis and carries the part number SCC037L. Fabricated in steel, the shaft covers an adjustable usable length from 143mm to 168mm and is presented as a direct-replacement or trimmed solution for CC01 drivetrain refurbishment and upgrades.
From a performance perspective the steel shaft increases torsional stiffness compared with flexible materials, which reduces driveline deflection under load and can improve gear engagement consistency. Proper spline engagement and axial alignment are key to maintain bearing life and minimise noise transmission.
Fitting procedure: verify spline and coupler interface dimensions on gearbox and axle inputs prior to installation, cut or set the shaft length within the 143mm-168mm window and ensure straight alignment to prevent binding. During installation, inspect universal joints and bearing surfaces and service or replace worn parts to preserve drivetrain smoothness and durability.
A robust steel centre shaft aimed at hobbyists seeking improved driveline stiffness and dependable fitment for CC01 projects; confirm compatibility and alignment during installation.
