Direct Coupling Upgrade for Tamiya 22047 Front End

The Tamiya 22047 Front Direct Coupling Set is a straightforward upgrade for XV-02 and TT-02 chassis drivers who want crisper acceleration and steadier braking. Swapping the oil-filled front differential for a direct coupler locks the front wheels together, giving more consistent wheel rotation and better forward drive on loose surfaces.

How the Direct Coupler Affects Handling

Installing a direct coupler changes front-end behaviour by removing differential action. Cornering may feel less forgiving, but you gain traction and braking predictability, which is useful on rally stages and low-traction layouts.

Parts Supplied in the Kit

  • Aluminum Front Direct Coupling x1
  • Steel Direct Cups x2
  • Direct Coupling Ring Gear (39T) x1
  • Bevel Pinion Gear (for 39T gear) x1
  • 2x9.8mm Stainless Steel Shafts x2
  • Axle Rings x2
  • 2.6x6mm Cap Screws x4

Model Compatibility Notes

This set fits both the XV-02 and TT-02 chassis platforms, making it a versatile choice for Tamiya 22047 owners who switch between tarmac, gravel and loose-surface tracks.

Yes. Locking the front wheels together helps transfer power more directly, so launches on low-grip surfaces feel stronger and more consistent.
You may notice reduced front-end compliance in tight turns because the differential action is removed, which can make some corners trickier to negotiate.
Installation generally replaces the front differential assembly and uses existing mounting points, but basic disassembly and reassembly skills are needed.
