60mm Hollow Stainless Shaft

The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: Lightweight Efficiency for Rapid Acceleration! When you want to squeeze every last drop of speed out of your machine, minimizing rotational mass is critical. The 60mm Hollow Stainless Steel Shaft set replaces the heavy, solid metal wheel axles that come standard in most kits. At Hobby Hideaway, we highly recommend this upgrade for racers who want to significantly boost their acceleration out of tight corners and land those technical jumps with less unsprung weight.

Strength Meets Agility By utilizing a hollow design, these shafts drop precious grams from your drivetrain without sacrificing the structural integrity needed to survive harsh landings. Because the axles are lighter, your motor doesn't have to work as hard to spin the wheels, resulting in a much "snappier" throttle response and improved battery efficiency over the course of a long race.

Key Features & Technical Specs:

• Lightweight Design: Hollowed center reduces weight compared to standard solid kit shafts, directly improving acceleration and top speed.

• Stainless Steel Durability: Maintains the rigid strength necessary to prevent bending during high-speed track impacts.

• Standard Sizing: 60mm length makes them a perfect drop-in replacement for most standard-width wheel setups.

• Extensive Chassis Compatibility: Compatible with a massive range of platforms including Type 3, Type 4, Type 5, Zero, FM, FM-A, Super-1, Super-II, Super FM, Super TZ, Super TZ-X, VS, MS, AR, MA, VZ, and ME Chassis.

Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: To truly maximize the benefit of these hollow shafts, pair them with a set of precision metal ball bearings (like the AO-1002 set) and a light drop of bearing oil. Lighter shafts mean less friction, and when combined with smooth bearings, your drivetrain will spin almost effortlessly. Just be sure to press your wheels on perfectly straight—while these are strong, applying uneven pressure when mounting wheels can still cause minor bends.
