Front Direct Coupler for Tamiya 22047 Chassis

The Tamiya 22047 Front Direct Coupling Set swaps out the front oil-filled differential to give XV-02 and TT-02 cars a more predictable front end. With the front wheels linked, acceleration from loose surfaces becomes firmer and braking feels more controlled.

Handling Tradeoffs to Expect

Fitting a direct coupling reduces independent wheel action, so you will feel less differential slip through corners. In return you pick up traction under throttle and a more consistent braking response, which helps on gravel and mixed-surface stages.

Included Items

  • Aluminum Front Direct Coupling x1
  • Steel Direct Cups x2
  • Direct Coupling Ring Gear (39T) x1
  • Bevel Pinion Gear (for 39T gear) x1
  • 2x9.8mm Stainless Steel Shafts x2
  • Axle Rings x2
  • 2.6x6mm Cap Screws x4

Which Models It Works With

This kit is compatible with XV-02 and TT-02 chassis types, offering a simple route for Tamiya 22047 owners to tune their front traction for rally or loose-surface running.

With both front wheels turning together, wear can become more even between the left and right tyres, though cornering style still affects tread life.
On high-grip tarmac the lost differential action may hurt corner speed, so the coupling is best for loose or mixed surfaces rather than pure on-road lap racing.
Basic hobby tools are sufficient: screwdrivers, hex drivers and patience for reassembly. No specialised machining is required.
You may want to adjust throttle trimming and braking force in your speed controller to match the firmer front traction and avoid unexpected lockups.
