Overview
The Fastrax Tamiya TT-02 Aluminium/Steel Universal Driveshaft (FTTA016B) is an essential upgrade component for Tamiya TT-02 chassis owners who demand improved performance and durability. Whether you're a serious RC competitor, a weekend basher, or an enthusiast looking to enhance your Tamiya TT-02 RC car in the UK, this precision-engineered driveshaft offers a significant step up from standard components. Built with a combination of lightweight aluminium and durable steel construction, this universal driveshaft is designed to handle the rigours of competitive racing, rough terrain driving, and everyday recreational use.
The TT-02 platform has become one of Tamiya's most popular chassis designs, with compatibility across an extensive range of licensed vehicle models including the Porsche 911 Carrera RSR, Subaru Impreza Monte-Carlo, NSX 2016, Toyota Gazoo Racing Yaris WRC, Audi Quattro A2 Rally, Ford GT Mk.2, McLaren Senna, and numerous other prestigious models. This universal driveshaft is engineered to enhance the transmission performance across this entire ecosystem, making it an ideal upgrade for anyone who runs multiple TT-02 models or is serious about maximising their RC car's potential.
What sets the Fastrax driveshaft apart is its thoughtful engineering that balances weight savings with structural integrity. By combining aluminium where it matters most with steel reinforcement in critical stress areas, Fastrax has created a component that maintains excellent performance without introducing unnecessary mass that would compromise acceleration and handling. This is the kind of upgrade that makes a measurable difference in lap times and overall driving experience, whether you're competing on a circuit or exploring challenging off-road terrain with your ready to run RC vehicle.
Key Features
- Hybrid Aluminium and Steel Construction — The intelligent combination of lightweight aluminium components with steel reinforcement delivers the perfect balance between performance and durability, ensuring your driveshaft can handle both competitive stress and everyday wear without unnecessary weight penalty.

- Precision Engineering — Manufactured by Fastrax, a recognised brand in the RC aftermarket parts industry, this driveshaft is produced to exacting standards to ensure perfect fitment and reliable operation in your transmission system.
- Enhanced Transmission Performance — Upgrading to this driveshaft improves power delivery efficiency and reduces vibration compared to standard components, resulting in smoother acceleration and more responsive handling characteristics.
- Pack of Two Driveshafts — This product contains two driveshaft units, providing you with a spare for maintenance, multiple vehicles, or peace of mind knowing you have a backup component ready to go.
Technical Performance
The Fastrax Tamiya TT-02 Aluminium/Steel Universal Driveshaft represents a significant upgrade to the transmission system of your TT-02 RC car. The hybrid construction approach is particularly important for the TT-02 platform, which demands components capable of handling sustained power delivery in both high-speed circuit racing and variable terrain driving scenarios. The aluminium components reduce unsprung mass and rotational inertia, improving acceleration response and overall vehicle agility, whilst the strategic use of steel reinforcement in high-stress areas ensures the driveshaft can endure the cumulative stresses of extended driving sessions, competitive racing, and aggressive terrain traversal without failure or excessive wear. This is the kind of engineering detail that separates quality aftermarket components from basic replacements. When you upgrade to a Fastrax driveshaft, you're investing in improved transmission efficiency that translates directly to better power delivery to your wheels, reduced drivetrain losses, and ultimately faster lap times or more predictable handling characteristics in your RC car UK setup.

For orders under £120, we can still deliver to Northern Ireland and the outlying isles, as long as the item can be sent by Royal Mail, weighs less than 30kg, and fits within 61cm × 46cm × 46cm.

If you live in one of these areas, feel free to contact us before ordering so we can confirm the delivery options and costs for you.
- Most of our products include delivery in the price. If your order is under £90, a small delivery fee will apply but do not worry this will always be clearly shown at checkout before you complete your purchase.

Orders are dispatched Monday to Friday only. Some items may take a little longer and if that is the case we will always show the expected delivery time on the product page.
- If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
- We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
- As soon as your order is on its way we will send you a tracking number by email. If you provide your mobile number at checkout we will also send delivery updates straight to your phone so you can keep an eye on progress.
