Performance upgrade for TRF421 using Tamiya 42387

For RC builders wanting a straightforward upgrade to their TRF421 chassis, the Tamiya 42387 45mm Drive Shafts deliver increased durability and lower drivetrain drag. These shafts are tailored for low friction double cardan joint setups to give more consistent steering response and reduced drivetrain loss.

What these shafts offer

  • Fluorine Coating: A low friction fluorine finish reduces contact resistance to help the drivetrain run freer.
  • Robust Construction: Manufactured from hardened steel to provide reliable service life under regular hobby use.
  • Compatibility: Designed to mate with Item 54921 Reinforced Swing Shaft Caps for correct fit and alignment.

Fitting notes and compatibility

The Tamiya 42387 drive shafts pair with Item 54921 Reinforced Swing Shaft Caps and use a 10.8mm needle pin at the shaft end for secure retention. This arrangement is suited to hobbyists seeking tighter handling and lower wear on moving parts.

They are engineered to work with the Item 54921 Reinforced Swing Shaft Caps and the TRF421 geometry. Using them on other models may require checking clearance and fit first.
The fluorine layer cuts surface friction between moving parts, which can lower drivetrain drag and slightly improve efficiency and component longevity.
Basic pin removal and installation tools plus a small driver set are usually sufficient. Ensure you can safely remove and replace the 10.8mm needle pin without damaging the shaft ends.
