Lightweight drive joints from Tamiya 42319 for smoother rotation

The Tamiya 42319 Lightweight Cross Joints are crafted to swap in for heavier steel joints on Double Cardan universal drive shafts. Their aluminium construction with a gold hard anodize reduces rotating weight and helps maintain consistent driveline response on both road and track.

What these joints offer

Material: Aluminum with a hard anodized gold finish
Weight Savings: Each set of four cross joints weighs approximately 0.55g, saving nearly 1 gram compared to steel parts
Compatibility: Suitable for touring car chassis using Double Cardan Joint Shafts, such as items 42216 and 42300
Additional Recommendation: Pair with lightweight joint casings (Item 42320) for further weight reduction

Can I mix these with stock steel joints?

Mixing is possible, but uneven weight distribution may affect balance. For best results, replace matching joints in pairs or full sets to keep drivetrain symmetry.

Are there any fitment adjustments needed?

These are made as direct replacements for the original parts. Check clearances in your hub and joint casings and use light lubrication to prevent tight spots on break-in.

Should I upgrade other driveline parts too?

To fully benefit from the reduced weight, consider pairing with matching lightweight casings such as Item 42320 and inspect drive shafts for front-to-rear balance.
