Performance-Oriented Brake Bar for FW05-R Platforms

The 3Racing FW05-018 Aluminium Brake Bar is engineered to sharpen brake control on Kyosho FW05-R and FW05RR chassis. Its stiffer profile reduces unwanted flex in the braking linkage, allowing more consistent input translation during tuning sessions.

Engineering Benefits of Aluminium in Racing Use

Aluminium provides a high strength-to-weight ratio that improves component stability under load. The 3Racing bar maintains geometry under repeated braking cycles, which supports predictable deceleration and aids setup repeatability for competitive drivers.

Installation, Fitment and Setup Notes

Manufactured to align with stock FW05-R and FW05RR mounting points, this brake bar fits without chassis modification. After installation, validate pedal travel and secure fasteners, then run controlled tests to integrate the bar into your braking setup strategy.

What setup changes should I expect after fitting?

Expect firmer brake feedback and marginally improved modulation. Reassess pedal travel and any bias settings; minor adjustments may be needed to match driver preference.

Is this suitable for frequent track use?

Yes, aluminium resists deformation better than molded parts and is appropriate for regular track running. Regular inspection of mounting points is recommended for safety and consistency.

Any installation best practices for serious racers?

Use correct torque on fasteners, check alignment with brake linkages, and perform incremental tests to dial in brake feel. Consider threadlocker for events with heavy vibration.
