Direct replacement outdrives for classic TA models

For TA-01 and TA-02 users, the Gearbox Joint Bag supplies metal outdrives that reconnect the gearbox to the driveshafts. These parts are intended to restore smooth torque transfer and extend service life compared with worn components.

Key features of the Tamiya 53217 set

Durable Construction: Metal construction improves longevity compared with softer materials used in older components.
Compatibility: Manufactured to fit Tamiya TA-01 and TA-02 gearboxes without alteration.
Easy Installation: Swap the old outdrives for these replacements using basic tools and the chassis instructions.

Can I pair these with stronger dogbones and bearings?

Yes, upgrading dogbones and bearings alongside metal outdrives can improve drivetrain resilience and reduce slop in older cars.

Do I need to change gearbox grease when fitting these?

A check of existing grease is recommended; fresh light gear grease on splines helps protect surfaces but avoid packing the gearbox overly full.

How can I tell when to replace outdrives?

Look for increased play at the outdrive connection, visible wear on spline edges, or noise under load as signs that replacement is due.
