Refine TA05v.2 Handling with Aluminum Parts

Modelers focused on precise setup for the Tamiya TA05v.2 will find the Tamiya 54172 Aluminum Separate Suspension Mounts a useful upgrade. These components replace the standard M5, 6, 8, and 9 parts and allow finer control of toe-angle adjustments. The dual suspension ball installation pitches (1A-1XA) offer extra options for dialling in handling balance.

What Tuners Gain

The two installation pitches make it easier to trade understeer and oversteer characteristics by moving suspension ball positions. When used on the rear side of the front suspension, these mounts require either the 5mm Suspension Ball (Item 50994) or the 5mm Fluorine Coated Suspension Ball (Item 53709) to ensure correct articulation.

Vehicle Fitment

These aluminium mounts are intended for the 1/10 R/C Cusco Dunlop Subaru Impreza (TA05 Ver.II) (Item 58435), improving robustness and offering finer geometry control for competitive driving.

Do these mounts require setup changes elsewhere?

Aluminium mounts can alter load paths, so you may want to review shock tune and sway bar settings after fitting to retain balanced handling.

Are the listed suspension balls mandatory?

Yes, using the specified 5mm Suspension Ball (Item 50994) or the 5mm Fluorine Coated Suspension Ball (Item 53709) ensures correct geometry and smooth suspension action.

Will these parts affect repair costs?

Aluminium parts resist damage better than plastic, but if they do deform they can be more costly to replace. Inspect surrounding components after impacts to avoid hidden damage.

Best practice for testing new geometry?

Change one variable at a time, log lap differences, and use the alternate 1A-1XA pitch to compare handling changes in consistent conditions.
