Precision Aluminium Front Mount for Better Body Retention

The Tamiya 53617 - TA04 65mm Aluminum Front Body Mount is produced to enhance the strength and fit of your TA04 chassis. It substitutes the original nylon posts with a machined aluminium component and also fits TRF414M, TB-EVOII, and TB-EVOIII cars. The 65mm length and light blue finish provide a tidy, more durable mounting option for busy tracks.

Why Fit Aluminium Mounts

Aluminium combines stiffness and acceptable weight for small parts, making it a common upgrade for racers who want fewer breakages and more consistent body positioning. It stands up better to impacts than many molded plastics.

Fitting Hints for a Secure Mount

Carefully align and drill the body shell mounting holes so the aluminium posts sit flush and the body does not flex around the mounts. The light blue colour helps during assembly and when checking for wear at race meetings.

It is listed as compatible with TB-EVOII, but check body hole positions and clearances on your shell. Minor trimming or re-drilling can be required for a perfect fit.
Nylon washers are fine and can help protect the anodised surface; ensure washer thickness does not change the effective mounting height of the body.
Check the product listing for included hardware. If screws are not provided, standard body mounting screws of the correct length will work.
Inspect mounts as part of your routine maintenance after every few running sessions or after impacts, checking for looseness and wear around the mounting holes.
