TA06 differential aluminium cup joint replacement

The Tamiya 54532 Aluminum Cup Joint kit is tailored for the TA06 gear differential, providing an aluminium alternative to the standard steel cups. The parts are engineered to lower rotating mass and come with drive shaft pin protectors, known as "blades", which help prevent premature wear on mating surfaces.

Benefits and practical notes

Weight Reduction: The aluminium cups shave about 7.6g from the chassis, which can improve agility and on-power steering.
Enhanced Durability: Built-in pin protectors reduce contact wear between cup and drive pin, increasing component life between rebuilds.
Versatile Compatibility: Made for use with TA06 front (39T) and rear (52T) differentials and works with TA06, TA06 PRO and FF03R chassis versions.

Will these cups fit older TA06 spares without modification?

They are designed for the TA06 family parts standard. If your TA06 spares are from the same generation they should fit, but always test fit and inspect tolerances before final assembly.

Are there handling tradeoffs when switching to aluminium?

Reduced weight at rotating points typically sharpens transient response. Any change will be subtle; tune diff oil and suspension if you want to refine balance after the swap.

Maintenance tips for these aluminium cups?

Clean and inspect the pin protectors and cup bores regularly, and re-lubricate contact areas. Keep an eye on wear where the blade meets the drive pin.
