Tamiya 42373 - 39mm Double Cardan Joint Drive Shafts (2pcs) for TC-01/TB-05 - Heavy Duty Steel Upgrade  [42373]

Refine your drivetrain with Tamiya 39mm drive shafts

If you want a tougher drivetrain for trail or track use, the 39mm drive shafts from Tamiya are built for double cardan joint setups. These shafts use hardened steel for long service life, and the needle pins measure 10.8mm to resist wear when used with reinforced swing shaft caps.

Chassis fit and intended use

These 39mm shafts are made to fit Tamiya TC-01 and TB-05 PRO chassis. They perform well in systems that use direct couplings, helping maintain reliable power transfer across angled joints. For best compatibility, pair them with Tamiya Item 42372 or the related Item series 42218 through 42221.

Fitting and upkeep advice

When fitting these shafts, check alignment with the double cardan joints to prevent binding. Periodic inspection of the pins and joint interface will keep driveline smooth, especially if you run the model in rough conditions.
