Sharper drive response with Tamiya 42387 45mm shafts

Hobbyists upgrading a TRF421 chassis can rely on the Tamiya 42387 45mm Drive Shafts to cut rolling resistance and improve steering precision. These shafts are optimised for low friction double cardan joints to keep power transfer smooth and consistent.

Core features

Fluorine Coating: Surface treatment lowers friction and helps the joints swivel more freely.
Robust Construction: Steel fabrication ensures the shafts stand up to routine use and aggressive driving.
Compatibility: Made to work with Item 54921 Reinforced Swing Shaft Caps for correct fit and reliable performance.

Setup and compatibility notes

The Tamiya 42387 drive shafts are matched to Item 54921 Reinforced Swing Shaft Caps and secure with a 10.8mm needle pin on the shaft end. This configuration supports accurate handling and reduces unwanted wear in the swing assembly.

Are these shafts suitable for rough tracks?

Yes, the steel construction helps them resist damage from normal off-road impacts, though regular inspection is recommended after hard runs.

Should I change any other parts when upgrading?

Check swing shaft caps and related bearings for fit. Using Item 54921 as intended ensures the best alignment and reduces premature wear.

How do I tell when a shaft needs replacing?

Look for bent shafts, excessive play at the joint, or degraded coating. Any of these signs indicate it is time to swap the shaft out.
