Refine XV-02 steering with a 6 degree caster upgrade

The Tamiya 51698 XV-02 D Parts comprise a 6 degree caster block designed to enhance steering precision and directional stability. It is a practical replacement for tuners looking to reduce understeer and improve consistency across laps.

Why a 6 degree caster helps handling

Six degrees of caster increase the steering return force and help the front end settle during cornering, which yields more accurate turn-in and steadier mid corner balance. This setting is often used at club events and on demanding layouts.

Model compatibility and installation notes

Designed to fit TD2, TD4, XV-01, XV-01T, XV-01 PRO and XV-02 PRO chassis. Ensure correct seating of the block and verify steering geometry after fitting. For full compatibility and part matching see the Tamiya R/C Parts Matching List.

Can this caster block be used for both practice and race setups?

Yes, it provides a stable baseline suitable for practice and competitive runs. Fine tune other settings like camber and toe to match driving style and track conditions.

Is any extra tuning required after installation?

You may need to adjust steering trim and roll stiffness to fully exploit the new caster geometry. Test in short runs and adjust progressively.

How do I prevent premature wear on this part?

Keep fasteners at correct torque, use clean bearings and inspect for play regularly. Replacing worn ball studs or bearings will extend the service life of the caster block.
