Precision aluminium cup joint for TA06 diffs

The Tamiya 54532 Aluminum Cup Joint set fits the TA06 gear differential and replaces the factory steel cups with a lighter aluminium option. The design reduces mass at the diff and incorporates drive shaft pin protectors called "blades" to help prevent premature wear between cup and pin.

Practical benefits and compatibility

Weight Reduction: Switching to these aluminium cups yields an approximate 7.6g reduction, which can sharpen turn-in and mid-corner response.
Enhanced Durability: The pin protectors reduce contact wear and help keep the cup and drive shaft working reliably for longer.
Versatile Compatibility: Intended for TA06 front (39T) and rear (52T) gear differentials and compatible with TA06, TA06 PRO and FF03R chassis models.

Will these affect differential tuning?

The cups themselves do not change gear ratios or diff action, but the reduced mass can alter vehicle feel. Fine tune diff oil and suspension to re-establish your preferred balance.

Are spare pin protectors available separately?

Check your parts supplier for replacement pin protectors or compatible aftermarket blades. Inspect regularly and replace if you observe flattening or excessive wear.

Does the set suit both front and rear installations?

Yes. The design supports the TA06 front 39T and rear 52T differentials, making it suitable for either position where those cup types are used.
