FAQ

Increase chassis rigidity for consistent F104 handling

The Tamiya 54281 RC Heavy Pivot Post is a straightforward upgrade for drivers looking to refine handling on F104 and F104 PRO models. Weighing 25.5g, this steel pivot post is heavier than aluminium versions and helps deliver greater rigidity and improved rear traction when pairing with a lightweight Li-Fe battery.

Compatibility and on-track benefits

Built to match the F104 and F104 PRO chassis layout, the pivot post improves stability under braking and during cornering, helping to keep line and balance more predictable at speed.

Can this pivot post be used with F104 PRO kits?

Yes, the Tamiya 54281 is specified for both F104 and F104 PRO chassis and fits the standard pivot post mounting location on those kits.

How will corner balance be affected?

The additional rear mass shifts balance slightly rearwards, which typically increases rear grip and reduces oversteer tendencies on entry and mid corner.

Do I need special tools to fit the post?

No special tools are required beyond standard RC hex drivers and spanners; install with care and retighten after a short run to confirm fitment.
