FAQ

Improve driveline response with Tamiya 42319 lightweight joints

The Tamiya 42319 Lightweight Cross Joints are intended as aluminium replacements for standard steel cross joints in Double Cardan universal drive shafts. Their hard anodized surface helps them resist wear while offering reduced rotating inertia for the driveline.

Feature rundown

Material: Aluminum with a hard anodized gold finish
Weight Savings: Each set of four cross joints weighs approximately 0.55g, saving nearly 1 gram compared to steel parts
Compatibility: Suitable for touring car chassis using Double Cardan Joint Shafts, such as items 42216 and 42300
Additional Recommendation: Pair with lightweight joint casings (Item 42320) for further weight reduction

Are these compatible with my Tamiya touring car?

They fit touring car drivelines that use Double Cardan Joint Shafts. Check whether your model references items 42216 or 42300 to confirm direct compatibility.

Can I reuse existing joint casings?

Standard casings will usually accept these joints, but matching them with lightweight casings like Item 42320 will maximise weight savings and balance.

What should I watch for during break-in?

After fitting, run the car at low speed and check for any binding or excessive play. A light lubricant on contact areas helps seating and reduces initial wear.
