Trim driveline weight with Tamiya 42319 cross joints

Tamiya 42319 Lightweight Cross Joints replace the heavier steel components in Double Cardan universal shafts with aluminium alternatives finished in hard anodized gold. They are aimed at reducing rotating mass while retaining the durability expected in regular RC use.

Highlights and practical notes

Material: Aluminum with a hard anodized gold finish
Weight Savings: Each set of four cross joints weighs approximately 0.55g, saving nearly 1 gram compared to steel parts
Compatibility: Suitable for touring car chassis using Double Cardan Joint Shafts, such as items 42216 and 42300
Additional Recommendation: Pair with lightweight joint casings (Item 42320) for further weight reduction

Will these change handling noticeably?

Reducing rotating mass can improve throttle response and slightly sharpen handling. Expect subtle gains rather than major changes unless combined with other weight-saving upgrades.

Are the joints corrosion resistant?

The hard anodized finish offers surface protection against wear and light corrosion, but regular cleaning after wet or salty runs is recommended to extend life.

Should I change maintenance routine?

Inspect the cross joint faces and bearing areas periodically. Keep a light film of suitable grease on mating parts and check for play after a few sessions.
