Refined drivetrain action with the Tamiya 42387 45mm drives

RC fans upgrading a TRF421 chassis will find the Tamiya 42387 45mm Drive Shafts a practical choice to cut drivetrain resistance and improve handling feel. Built to work with double cardan joints, they promote steadier power transfer and less drivetrain vibration.

Main advantages

  • Fluorine Coating: A friction-reducing fluorine finish lowers drag where parts interface.
  • Robust Construction: Solid steel construction gives consistent durability for regular track and club use.
  • Compatibility: Matches Item 54921 Reinforced Swing Shaft Caps to ensure correct seating and alignment.

Mounting and fit details

The Tamiya 42387 shafts are intended to be used with Item 54921 Reinforced Swing Shaft Caps. Each shaft end uses a 10.8mm needle pin to lock the part in place, providing a secure connection for precise handling and reduced component wear.

They are specifically designed for use with Item 54921 Reinforced Swing Shaft Caps. Other caps may not provide the correct alignment or retention.
It is good practice to check and lightly lubricate joints after installation to preserve the fluorine finish and maintain smooth operation.
The coating reduces contact friction so you may notice crisper steering input and slightly less power loss through the drivetrain, especially under frequent steering angle changes.
Needle pins can wear or bend over time. Check parts lists for compatible replacement pins and keep spares on hand for quick repairs.
