Fine Tuning the TRF415 Drivetrain

The Tamiya 53704 Lightweight One-way Cup Joint is an effective minor upgrade for owners wanting tighter control over transient response. By reducing mass at the joint, it supports quicker drivetrain reactions without complex setup changes.

Compatibility Notes and Fitting

This component is compatible with the TRF415 chassis as well as the TB-EVO III and TB-EVO III Surikarn Ltd. Installation follows the normal joint replacement procedure so it can be fitted by most hobbyists with standard tools.

Practical On-Track Advantages

The hollowed design trims unnecessary material to cut rotating weight, which can improve how quickly the car responds when you apply or release throttle. Expect a more direct feel from the driveline once fitted.

Is the Tamiya 53704 compatible with TB-EVO III models?

Yes, the 53704 lists TB-EVO III and TB-EVO III Surikarn Ltd among its compatible platforms in addition to TRF415 models.

Will this change handling balance?

It specifically reduces rotating mass, which can make throttle and braking inputs feel faster. It is not a suspension tune, so overall balance depends on the rest of your setup.

Are there any installation gotchas?

Ensure proper seating and orientation during installation and verify there is no binding in the driveline after fitting. Regularly check for wear as part of normal upkeep.
