Low Mass Cross Joints for Touring Cars

The Tamiya 42321 Lightweight Cross Joints are an easy upgrade to reduce the mass of your touring car's driveline. CNC aluminium construction swaps in for heavier steel parts to lower rotational weight without sacrificing strength.

Feature Summary for Tamiya 42321

Material: CNC aluminium to cut driveline weight and improve responsiveness.
Finish: Hard anodized gold provides surface toughness and a professional look.
Weight: Each item weighs about 0.5g, offering almost a 1g saving per pair versus steel units.
Compatibility: Suitable for touring car chassis that employ parts 51445 and 54623.

How do I confirm these fit my model?

Check whether your current cross joints are identified as parts 51445 or 54623. If so, the 42321 cross joints are intended to be direct replacements.

Are there any special break-in steps?

No special break-in is required, but inspect fit and apply light lubricant to moving surfaces before first run to ensure smooth operation.

Can these be used in high torque setups?

They are robust for typical touring car power levels, but as with any aluminium driveline part, avoid repeated heavy impacts and check for deformation after hard use.

Will the finish wear off quickly?

The hard anodized coating is durable under normal running conditions; surface marks can occur over time with heavy contact, so inspect periodically.

Is extra hardware required to fit these joints?

These units are designed to use the same small pins and balls as the stock parts in compatible chassis, but replace any worn hardware during installation for best results.
