Improve Drive Feel on the TRF415 Chassis

The Tamiya 53704 Lightweight One-way Cup Joint is a compact upgrade that trims rotating mass to improve how quickly the TRF415 reacts to throttle and braking inputs. It is intended for hobbyists seeking a more immediate drivetrain response.

Compatibility and Fitting Guide

The joint is compatible with TRF415 variants and also fits TB-EVO III and TB-EVO III Surikarn Ltd platforms. Fitting follows standard procedures for cup joint replacement and can be performed with routine RC workshop tools.

Effect of Reduced Rotating Weight

A hollowed design reduces unnecessary mass in the joint, which can speed up drivetrain response during acceleration and braking. Regular inspection after track use will help maintain consistent performance.

Does the Tamiya 53704 require any other parts to fit?

No additional parts are required for a standard swap. Use the existing hardware and follow the original assembly sequence.

Will the lighter joint change low speed control?

Reducing rotating mass can make low speed inputs feel slightly more immediate, but overall control will still depend on throttle setup and suspension tuning.

Is this suitable for both practice and competition?

Yes, the 53704 is suitable for practice sessions and race use where drivers want a crisper drivetrain response. Maintain routine checks to ensure long term reliability.
