A propeller joint, also known as a universal joint or U-joint, is a mechanical component that connects rotating shafts that are not in line with each other. In RC cars, it typically transmits power from the transmission to the drive shafts.
Signs include clicking noises, vibrations during acceleration, or a noticeable looseness or play in the drivetrain. Physical inspection may reveal wear or damage.
This specific part is designed for the Hot Shot and Super Hotshot series. Compatibility with other models like the Frog may vary; please consult your model's manual or Tamiya's official parts list.
No, this is a genuine replacement part designed to restore the original functionality of your Tamiya Hot Shot/Super Hotshot. It is not an upgrade for improved performance beyond the stock specification.

You will need standard RC repair tools, such as screwdrivers and potentially pliers, depending on the specific disassembly required for your model. Refer to your model's manual for a complete tool list.
Inspect and replace worn propeller joints. Ensure they are properly seated and lubricated.
Check for damaged or unbalanced propeller joints. Replace as a set if one is found to be faulty.
Verify that you have the correct model number and that the part is oriented as per the assembly manual. Ensure no other drivetrain components are obstructing the fit.
Ensure all screws and connections related to the propeller joints and associated drivetrain parts are tightened correctly.
Setup:
Installation of the Tamiya 58391 Propeller Joint requires disassembly of the drivetrain components of your Hot Shot or Super Hotshot model. It is recommended to consult the original model's assembly manual for detailed instructions on how to access and replace these parts. Ensure all connections are secure and that the joint moves freely after installation.

Care:
To ensure longevity, keep the propeller joints clean and free from excessive dirt and debris. Periodically inspect them for signs of wear or damage. Applying a small amount of appropriate RC lubricant to the moving parts of the drivetrain, as recommended in your model's manual, can help reduce friction and wear on these components.
