Improve Front-End Feel by Dropping Spool Weight

Optimisers of the TRF419 platform can use the Tamiya 54879 TRF419 Aluminum Front Direct Cups Set to reduce front spool inertia. These aluminium cups replace the stock steel items in the Direct Coupling system, delivering a more responsive drivetrain without altering suspension layout.

Handling Advantages Over Steel

The aluminium cups cut rotating mass by 2.8 grams per cup compared with steel. That reduced inertia means the front spool reacts faster to throttle inputs, contributing to sharper handling on technical tracks.

Supplied Items and Chassis Support

The kit includes two aluminium direct cups plus a swing shaft cap manufactured from a new, tougher material for improved wear life. They are compatible with TRF419 and will also fit TB Evo.6 and TB Evo.7 chassis, offering a useful upgrade across several Tamiya race cars.

As with all my previous purchases from you superb service and delivery time. Order well packaged and as described. Definitely a supplier at the top of my list when rc products are needed. Thank you.

Will changing to aluminium cups affect reliability?

The cups are intended for race use and the swing shaft cap uses a new material for durability. Regular checks after hard runs are advised to ensure no damage has occurred.

Do these fit older TRF variants?

They are designed for the TRF419 family and are also compatible with TB Evo.6 and TB Evo.7. Confirm fit if you run non-standard or heavily modified front assemblies.

Is any setup change needed after fitting?

After installation, check spool clearance and perform a short test to assess steering and throttle response. Minor adjustments to differential tuning or toe may be beneficial.

Can I mix these with other aftermarket components?

They should integrate with standard Direct Coupling setups. If you use aftermarket spools or modified swing shafts, verify physical compatibility before fitting.
