Tamiya 22104 44mm Double-Cardan Drive Shafts Pair for Touring Cars  [22104]

About this Part

These 44mm drive shafts are specified for double-Cardan assemblies used in TRF-inspired hop-up setups and 1/10 touring cars. Supplied two per pack, they are intended as direct replacements or spares where double-Cardan joints are employed. The 44mm dimension is critical to match the original spacing between cardan cups and maintain correct drivetrain angles.

How to use in a chassis

Fit these shafts where a double-Cardan connection is needed between gearbox output and the wheel hub or any intermediate joint. They help maintain correct joint articulation in tuned TRF-style touring layouts and reduce the chance of binding when cups and hubs are aligned properly.

Compatibility and measurements

• Suited to TRF hop-up type applications and most 1/10 touring car arrangements using double-Cardan couplings.
• Confirm the 44mm shaft length matches the spacing between your cardan cups or hub interface before installing.
• Replacement is common after wear or impact; inspect the joint ends and verify dimensions prior to fitting.

Installation and upkeep

• Ensure cup clearance so joints are free at the intended operating angles to avoid pre-load.
• Apply appropriate grease to joints to reduce wear and check periodically for play or corrosion on drivetrain parts.
• Install matching shafts on both sides to preserve driveline balance and even wear.
