Replace TRF417 Cup Joints with Hardened Steel

For hobbyists wanting stronger drive components, the Tamiya Steel Cup Joints (Part No. 54425) upgrade the TRF417 Gear Differential Unit II. These steel joints offer a tougher alternative to the original aluminium cup joints and hold up better under sustained high-power running.

Why Choose the Tamiya 54425 Cups

  • Material: Durable high-strength steel aimed at longer service life
  • Compatibility: Made specifically for the TRF417 Gear Differential Unit II
  • Installation: Removes the need for a Pin Protector (Y1) when fitting more powerful motors
They are tailored for the TRF417 Gear Differential Unit II, so compatibility with other models is not guaranteed without checking dimensions.
Steel versions are typically heavier than aluminium, which can affect rotating mass; many users accept the tradeoff for the added durability with powerful motors.
Clean mating surfaces before assembly, follow the differential rebuild steps, and verify there is no binding after fitting the new cups.
It is good practice to inspect and refresh differential oil when performing this upgrade to ensure optimal performance with the new components.
