Aluminium cup joint upgrade for TA06 gear diff

The Tamiya 54532 Aluminum Cup Joint set is made to fit the TA06 gear differential, offering a direct aluminium swap for the stock steel cups. These joints cut mass while using drive shaft pin protectors, often called "blades", to reduce wear on the cup and drive pin interface and extend service life.

Top advantages at a glance

Weight Reduction: Fitting these aluminium cups trims roughly 7.6g from the car, helping steering response and transient handling.
Enhanced Durability: The supplied pin protectors shield the joint cup and drive shaft pins from accelerated wear, so parts last longer between rebuilds.
Versatile Compatibility: Designed for TA06 front (39T) and rear (52T) gear differentials and compatible with TA06, TA06 PRO and FF03R chassis layouts.

How difficult is the swap from steel to these aluminium cups?

Installation follows the same steps as the stock cups; basic differential teardown and reassembly skills are all you need. Make sure to check pin fit and lubrication during the install.

Should I change my diff oil after fitting these parts?

It is a good idea to inspect and refresh diff oil when upgrading components. Use the same viscosity you run currently unless you have a specific handling target.

Do the pin protectors need regular replacement?

Pin protectors slow wear but should be checked during routine maintenance. Replace them if you notice deformation or excessive play to protect the cup and shaft.
