The TF201C-005 is a race-oriented rear steering block engineered for the TAMIYA F201 chassis by 3Racing. It is a direct-fit aftermarket component that positions the rear steering linkages to allow controlled adjustments to toe and steering feedback without altering the primary chassis structure. The block's geometry influences axle behaviour and transient balance during cornering.
Installation notes: remove the rear hub carrier and associated links, transfer serviceable bearings and OEM fasteners, and secure the TF201C-005 using the original mounting screws. Machine tolerances are nominal, so only minimal trimming of adjacent polymer parts is expected in exceptional cases. After assembly, verify linkage free play and ensure smooth articulation through the full steering arc.
Tuning guidance: this hop-up is intended for fine adjustments to rear toe and transient characteristics in competition setups. Incremental rotation or offset changes to the block will alter toe-in and transient response, which directly impacts corner entry and mid-corner neutrality. Implement small, documented changes and validate on controlled test runs to quantify handling shifts before committing to race settings.
Compatibility and service note: intended for TAMIYA F201 variants that use the same rear steering mount pattern; confirm alignment with your hub carrier prior to final torque. This component is for model use only and not suitable for full-size applications.
