Trim Rotating Mass for Smoother Handling

Tamiya 42321 Lightweight Cross Joints provide a lightweight aluminium alternative to stock steel joints for touring car drivelines. The change reduces unsprung and rotating mass while keeping dependable service life for hobby running.

Top Features of the 42321 Cross Joints

Material: Lightweight aluminium fabrication to reduce drivetrain load.
Finish: Hard anodized gold surface for extra wear protection and a clean look.
Weight: Approximately 0.5g each, saving near 1g over traditional steel pieces per pair.
Compatibility: Intended for touring car chassis using parts 51445 and 54623.

What tools are needed to fit these joints?

Basic hobby tools suffice: small hex drivers, pliers and a quality threadlocker for any retaining hardware. Follow your chassis manual for disassembly and reassembly steps.

Will the lighter joints change handling noticeably?

Reducing rotating mass can sharpen acceleration and turn-in feel, especially on high-rev setups. Changes are subtle but useful for fine tuning.

Do I need to alter setup after installation?

Most racers keep the same basic setup, but small adjustments to suspension or diff tuning may help balance any shift in driveline behaviour.
