Improve DF-03 Drive Response with Tamiya 53948

Fit the Tamiya 53948 Aluminium Prop Cup Joint to your DF-03 chassis to replace the standard kit piece. This machined aluminium unit reduces drivetrain losses so the car responds with more consistent power delivery.

Sturdy Blue Anodised Surface

The prop cup has a blue aluminium finish that gives a neat look while increasing surface durability. The part helps limit wear where the propeller shaft meets the joint and is compatible with the TRF415MSX Y Part (Swing Shaft Protector) for added protection.

Compatibility Notes

The joint is suitable for both front and rear positions on the DF-03. Note that rear installation prevents use with the Tamiya 53931 DF-03 Center One-Way Set, so verify your current drivetrain layout before fitting.

It fits the standard DF-03 layout; some conversion kits change shaft lengths or geometry so double-check kit notes before swapping parts.
A light application of quality bearing grease at contact points helps reduce noise and wear. Avoid heavy oils that can attract grit.
You may notice crisper throttle response due to reduced drivetrain slop, but overall handling is unchanged by the joint alone.
The part is already anodised; changing colour requires professional reworking and may alter tolerances, so not generally recommended.
