Refine Chassis Response with Teflon Pads

The Tamiya 53149 Teflon Friction Pad Set is a direct-fit upgrade for the F103 chassis found in Tamiya Formula models. The PTFE material lowers internal rubbing and helps keep steering response consistent across runs.

Designed to Improve Feedback

This friction pad set replaces the stock D2 and D7 components on the F103 chassis, cutting internal friction and improving the chassis feel. The result is steadier control and reduced pad wear over time without changing setup geometry.

Parts Included

2 Outer Teflon Friction Pads (Replaces Stock Part D2)
1 Middle Teflon Friction Pad (Replaces Stock Part D7)

Can I use these pads on older F103 versions?

They are compatible with most F103 variants that use the standard D2 and D7 locations. For vintage or heavily modified cars check part fitment before purchase.

Will these affect tyre wear or balance?

The pads change internal friction, not suspension geometry, so tyre wear and balance are largely unaffected. Improved consistency can help drivers extract more predictable performance from existing setups.

Are these pads a common race upgrade?

Many racers fit low-friction pads as a simple mechanical tweak to refine steering response. They are an affordable tweak that complements other setup changes.

How should I store spare pads?

Store them in a clean, dry box away from direct sunlight and solvents. Keep them with a parts list so replacements are easy to identify when needed.
