Lightweight Cups to Sharpen TRF419 Steering

For tuners running TRF419 cars, the Tamiya 54879 TRF419 Aluminum Front Direct Cups Set offers a practical way to trim weight from the front spool. These aluminium parts replace the stock steel cups in the Direct Coupling system, improving drivetrain feel without altering suspension geometry.

Why Aluminium Improves Response

Each aluminium cup saves 2.8 grams of rotating mass versus steel. This lower inertia helps the front spool accelerate and decelerate more quickly, translating to a more immediate steering response on technical sections of the circuit.

Durability and Chassis Compatibility

The kit ships with two aluminium direct cups and a swing shaft cap built from a new material for improved longevity. Fitment covers the TRF419 chassis and is also suitable for TB Evo.6 and TB Evo.7 layouts, making it a flexible upgrade for competitive setups.

As with all my previous purchases from you superb service and delivery time. Order well packaged and as described. Definitely a supplier at the top of my list when rc products are needed. Thank you.

How much lap time can I expect to gain?

Gains are setup and driver dependent. The cups improve throttle and steering response, which can help reduce lap times in tight or technical sections rather than on long straights.

Do these work with aftermarket spools or diff setups?

They are designed for the OEM Direct Coupling (Spool) arrangement used with TRF419, TB Evo.6 and TB Evo.7. Check fitment if you run heavily modified or non-standard spools.

Will aluminium affect durability under heavy racing?

The swing shaft cap uses a new, tougher material and the aluminium cups are intended for racing use. Inspect parts after hard impacts and replace if you see deformation or excessive wear.

Any setup tips after fitting these cups?

After fitting, check spool and shaft play, then test on a short run to fine tune throttle and steering trims. Minor adjustments to differential or front toe may help maximise the feeling change.
