One-Piece Front Centre Cup Fit for TB Evo IV

The Tamiya 53786 - TB Evolution IV One-Piece Front Centre Cup Joint OP-786 provides a straightforward route to improve the durability of the TB Evo IV chassis. Produced from quality aluminium, this combined front joint and centre cup reduces component count and helps limit backlash in the driveline.

Why Choose an Aluminium Cup Joint

Aluminium delivers dependable strength without adding excessive weight, helping to keep rotational mass low while improving longevity. The blue anodised finish offers surface protection and a tidy appearance for track day rigs.

Installation Guidance and Compatibility

The single-piece format eases alignment and lessens the risk of misfit that can occur with multi-piece assemblies. It is tailored for the TB Evo IV and should install cleanly with stock components.

Does this replace the factory centre cup?

Yes, this one-piece component is intended as a direct replacement for the original centre cup assembly on the TB Evo IV.

Which grease should I use during assembly?

A light, long-lasting synthetic grease is suitable for the mating surfaces to reduce wear while minimising dust pickup.

Will this affect driveshaft alignment?

The single-piece design helps preserve alignment compared with multi-part setups, but verify driveshaft angles after installation to ensure smooth operation.

How long does the anodised finish last?

The anodised layer provides good surface durability, but longevity depends on running conditions and maintenance. Regular checks will reveal when replacement is needed.

Is any fitment tuning required for competitive use?

For competition, confirm all driveline clearances and consider using thread locker on fasteners. Fine tuning of shaft lengths and suspension geometry may be needed to match your setup.
