Drop rotating mass with Tamiya 42319 lightweight cross joints

The Tamiya 42319 Lightweight Cross Joints provide a direct aluminum replacement for standard steel pieces in Double Cardan universal drive shafts. Machined and hard anodized, these parts trim weight from the driveline while keeping the wear resistance needed for regular track and road use.

Primary benefits and features

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 fit other Tamiya Double Cardan setups?

They are designed for Tamiya touring car drivelines that use Double Cardan Joint Shafts. Confirm fit against items 42216 and 42300 to ensure compatibility with your chassis layout.

Do I need special tools to install the cross joints?

Installation uses the same basic tools as stock joints. Light grease on mating surfaces and correct screw torque help prevent binding and ensure smooth rotation.

How do they hold up compared to steel originals?

Aluminum reduces weight and performs well in normal hobby use. For high wear or heavy duty running, monitor contact points and replace if you observe significant play.
